Sounds great... glad to see things are finally working for him instead of the annoying lil "breaks" here and there.



1. 8 rt? Did you mean 60ft time? If not can you inquite 60ft out of curiosity? Thanks.

 

[83 crew cab]

cool all most in the 11's better get that role bar befor next year

 

[Brandon]

no more news I think that was the best run of the day



12. 052 on diesel only

 

[nascar mark]

Cool Brandon,

Sounds like 60' time of 1. 8 sec. Thats what I run in my truck with canopy, tools,spare etc but don't have the fuel on top end to go too much faster. Darn small VE44 rotary pump. :{



One of these days I'm going to make it down there for a event or too.

 

[drives mopars]

happy holidays

WAAHOOO!!!

OOOOHHHH Baby, it feels gooood!Oo.



Thanks to Brandon for keeping everybody plugged in to the action while we were trackside. Actually the play by play got a little stale due to the umpteen blown intercooler hoses I had planned to "S" can the plumbing and turbos for my next gen system. However, we have everything we need to run the first clean 11 second run for a 24v truck right now. So were gonna do it! I'll weld some tabs onto the pipes and safety wire them so they can't pull apart. I will prolly turn the boost down some as well.



Big huge thanks to CSutton for his pit crew help, also thanks to Jake for helmut loaner and local knowledge. Tip of the cap and pat on the back to Ian for pit crew help, thanks 2U.



The "Rockteer" and pilot of the "Red Rocket" is of course, MY6EATSV8S, sometimes known as Adam Sprague or the Sonoma assasin. Muchos Gracias for his efforts and achievments today



How 'bout some numbers eh?



Cat's out of the bag on the best complete run of the day. We recorded 115. 7 mph on a 12. 0 ET. On that run we saw a 1. 8 60 ft. , 7. 7 1/8 at 91 mph. That was very cool as you can imagine. BUT!!! On the last run of the eve we recorded a mid 1. 7 60' time with a 7. 6 1/8 @ 91 mph. This was a very hot launch and would have put us well into the 11's as you can see when compared to the 12. 0 run. But as phate would have it we had a connector hose loosen up and we ran 12. 4 @ 90 mph (Adam let off). That's a HOT time for only 90 mph. We were on our first high 11 second trip up till the hose loosened.



Thanks a bunch to all of you who met for breakfast as well as those who skipped the meal and just got themselves to the track. Your support is applauded.



Special dedication:



Hey Y'all! For all my friends down in the lone star state of Texas. This one's for you We should have run hard and put up some numbers while we were down there. But things didn't work out. Well today they did, and my hats off to the friends we met on our recent visit to the diesel state

 

[csutton7]

yep--it was awesome--to bad we couldn't keep those stinkin hoses on though--Adam's driving was great--looked like the track was on fire--did that thing ever pull from the 60 ft on--that guy in the NOVA(I think) must of thought a freight train was next to him--would've loved to seen his face when he got caught right before the line----mega congrats to HVAC--chris

 

[HVAC]

I Can't Sleep!!!

Chris, big Adam is prolly going to wind up a HMB cop. Can you imagine us playing cat and mouse through the streets of HMB? I don't think he would stand a chance with my James Bond getaway smokescreen:-laf :-laf :-laf

 

[Shrimpy]

AWSOME !!!!!!

Awsome performance guys!!!! My hats off to you HVAC for pushing the envelope with the quad valver, and to your driver... . er pilot , the assassin, Adam. Keep up the great work and continue to show folks how a true HOT ROD DIESEL is suppose to run !!!!!!!

 

[willyslover]

ears and safety wire Eh... hehe

how about the turnbuckel method others have used well.

so how is the new transmission parts doing ?... sounds like launch is working out very well... tires holding after 20lb boost launch ? fill in the gaps for this old absent pit crew member pleeeeeease

 

[csutton7]

we'll needHVAC & My6EatsV8's to fill in some of this data--I know the tires spun a couple of times on him--psi at launch i don't know for sure--there was one launch where it looked like the truck did a standing broad jump--it was pretty neat--I think the transmission was stubborn on a couple of runs, but I'm not super sure on all of it as we were in the attack mode of hose blow em offitis repairabellum movement as soon as the truck got back to the pits and I wasn't priivvy to all info being discussed--the fun of a 12. 052 run made it a successful day--it was just to bad we couldn't get in consistent asphalt burns---wish you could've been there----chris

 

[HeberRam]

Congrats... . Nowel Was that on D/F only or was there a little squeeze??? Either way that's awsome times!!!

[csutton7]

straight diesel--we couldn't get the NOS to work... chris

 

[HVAC]

Just Say NO!

Don't be silly, we are the CLEAN TEAM!



No drugs (yet ).

"However, we have everything we need to run the first clean 11 second run for a 24v truck right now. So were gonna do it!"



Note "CLEAN"



We will run Nos once in a while after we establish

the 11 second time. The idea is to run 12. 0 all day so we don't have to install a roll cage. Anything lower then the 12. 0 will require a cage So we run 12. 0 until the last run of the day, at which time we flip the Nos on and go for a really low time before we trailer up. Maybe we can escape having to install the cage for a while that way.

 

[HVAC]

Yeah

That was the other part of the problem:-laf :-laf :-laf



We had a bug in the electrical system for the Nos

 

[Johnboy3]

HVAC IS THE MAN!!!!!!Oo. Oo. Oo. Oo.

 

[TxDieselKid]

Great Job Big Diesel Daddy!!! Glad to see you got things back to normal and then some.
