[Sled Puller]

Feel free to post some of your own.





1)"Gene, your bag is hanging kind of low. "



(Dennis D, pointing out the window of the Roadhouse, at my cold air intake with a garbage bag hanging over it, in the rain. )





2)Rob Thomas: "You need Stacks, I have a set, we can put them on. "



Gene: "No, it will ruin my sleeper look. "





Rob:" Sleeper?!?!?!?!?! That truck screams performance from every angle!"





3) "... ... thats a power track. If you have the motor, go lots of gear. "

( A VERY good running Indiana truck, moments before he went with lots of gear, and almost ripped his truck in half, clearing the track for my victory. I went with gear also, but I DIDN'T have the motor, perhaps thats why it ran ok. )





Funny:

Watching Peter of SBC forget where he parked his Aztec, wandering around looking for it.

Then, at the strip, a dude yellow cautioned taped it, about 3 different times.

KTA and I were teching trucks in, wacthing that little deal! hehehehe!



Funny#2

Watching Jetpilot wheel extree tires around on the suitcase cart,into the hotel.





Funny #3

The Jacked S-10, and the low rider wagon.



"If you lift the back end, I will smoke my tires. "



Enter Holeshot, with the floor jack.

Oh My. Someone else can finsh that story.





Most ridiculous item:



After borrowing the hitch that won Muncie last year, for the wim. . I mean rookie class, Holeshot asks JR ADKINS to ride with him and be his coach.

Holeshot pulled just about like him too.

 

[Sled Puller]

Oh yea.

I heard there was some betting going on. Seems Piers and Peter kept betting against me, and that Ford Guy Bob Riley, kept betting on me and winning, taking their money.



Serves them right.



NEVER bet agin the MUNCIE KING!!

 

[Bob Wagner]

this is always one of my favorite topics



was Josiah (BigUgly) there ?

 

[Sled Puller]

"Please don't hurt our truck. You can hurt Bill though. "



Shanti, after finding out what Bill was up to the night before.

 

[TxDieselKid]

Gene: "I got 10 guys that want to beat you up bill!"

BillK: "Only 10, what a relief"



____________





David Lott: "If that Mitchell guy aint making 1,000 horsepower, then I'm buying a Duramax"





____________



Gene's Father: "You didn't pee on that bank did you? There open for business tommorw!!"



Me: I don't know what your talking about!!!



:-laf

 

[BigUgly]

Yeah Bob, I was there, had a heck of a time too.

One of my favorite quote was actually on the way up, I had 34X17. 5X16 Slicks in the bed of the truck and was following the Dakota. The truckers on the CB couldn't figgure out where we were going to put the slicks .

Also, Late in the day on Saturday... . A guy walkes up to Penny (David's wife, who managed the Dyno Runs) and asks, "I'd like to Dyno the truck, should I just drive it up, or are a few guys ahead of me?" Penny showed him the list for Sunday, I believe he signed up for number 48 on Sunday :--)

Josiah

 

[esommer2500]

The announcer...

kept saying something about G-Money ($$)?!?!



I guess he did alright in the open classes. Oo.

 

[esommer2500]

Oh yeah, almost forgot....

Piers: (After watching some F***s trying to smoke tires on the street in front of his stand) "It's a good thing we're out in the middle of nowhere here, eh?" (Insert best Canadian accent with s**t-eatin grin)

 

[esommer2500]

They just keep coming...

Jim Fulmers custom oil cap.



Loretta's coach-class truck.



Actually getting bit by my first mosquito this year; right down at the end of the pulling track amidst some heavy-ass fog.



I'm sure I'll remember some more later...

 

[Jim Fulmer]

Jim Fulmers custom oil cap. Opie did a nice job on it I thought, just pulled it off this morning. BOTW it passed tech!



(Strick-9 walking by my truck friday afternoon in the parking lot) "Last minute stuff huh" with the pump on the ground!



(Piers) Did I hear Jim say he didn't need anymore fuel! (you need to see the injectors I have to test:--)





This tread is going to be good!



Jim

 

[DHRA]

Nothing tops the weekend better than our buddy Wayne's (Jff24Grdn) ass eating that piece of plastic called a chair Sunday evening at the Roadhouse! Thank God I didn't start eating yet...



Peter: "Hey Eric, can you take me around in the golf cart and help me find my car? Someone hid it. "



Merrick "I locked it up in 2nd gear to race a Ford and hit 78 psi!"



And the numerous times Merrick had someone come up to the truck thinking I was in it!

 

[HoleshotHolset]

I'm glad I made at least a few folks laugh. :-laf



I'm surprised nobody commented on the 36-17-16 slicks that were in the bed of my truck when I went to the track... .



For the record: It was NOT JR's fault that I pulled/raced so poorly. His DV's are wild - and he let me know that well in advance. I take full responsibility for how my truck ran... . or didn't run.



Matt



BELCH!! **fog..... **

Sort of- I didn't "have" them, they were coming around!



And one that wanted to beat ME up for NOT beating Bill up.



Dang Hilljacks get aggressive, when somebodys truck is messed with!







Most annoying questionsafter about 10 each)



Is that a Mitchell bumper?

Is that a Mitchell hitch?

Is that a Mitchell traction bar?

Is that a Mitchell air cleaner?



No, no, no, and no.





Oh, yea,"Do you think you have enough power to turn that big of tire?"



Uh, those tires won Muncie last year. . I believe they will work.

 

[Stefan Kondolay]

Gene ,



Bill just got back from Muncie, he said he was surprised you still had not paid him for the work that he did on your truck. He said that after all you did win the sled pulls.



He said with all these wins you are getting you are forgetting to thank the little guys that helped you along the way.

BTW, It was a 6. 0 Ford with either a 60 or 80 HP box on it.



You have no idea how many people, EVEN LOCAL's waved at me.



There's more, I just can't remember them this late...
