Competition Modified diesel class

[83 crew cab]

any body else building any trucks for the DHRA Modified diesel class for this year ?

If we have a DHRA event out here I believe I would thrown into the Modified class because I am putting air bags in the back and removing the leaf springs

He means drag racing Scott. And you could pull Pro Street as you sit.

The rule is written to avoid sloppy home constructed suspension modifications that are unsafe. The final decision rests with the attending tech inspector and yes we have two Western events next year, get ready!!!!

Thanks Eric, Man I wonder what I could do on the strip

I'd say about 12. 20 @ 114 MPH, you just need a set of Toyo Proxes S/T tires.

Now I would like to see that truck on the 1/4 mile track!!!

me too... however I think BBD would have a mental block and forget to shift it out of 3 L

so we better calculate that gear lol

Sure, its not the fastest shifting, but Rob Thomas took his 7600# dump truck to ~ 14. 7 with a Mitchell twin disc.



(And some people think it takes 3 seconds to shift these)... retards

I have gotten pretty good shifting since it's the daily driver, I get lots O practice

A Texas 4x4, twins, with Mitchell Twin disc ran a 13. 19 at 105 mph last sunday at HRP.



Think positive thoughts BBD, you can shift it fast



Good Luck
