No, not like in the movie 'Blue Thunder' but that truck was perfectly straight when they hooked him to the sled. Green 2nd gen regular cab 2500, twin stacks, nice truck.



Halfway down the track it looked like it was hunch backed, right at the cab, bed joint! I've never seen that before. You guys?

I seen a regular cab like Kent's bend at Scheids I think in 05. But never seen one break in half!!

did they tech RPM ? if so how?

No teching of RPM, they did ask me if I had a recall tach at the end of the pull. I heard that Harness got DQ'd on saturday for 4600.

Curt Haisley? The orange and silver 'Off Constantley' Dodge out of Haisley Machine. About 245'?



Kent Crowder. Scheid Black 3500 Dodge with Lightening Bolts all over it. 300 even?

Yes, there was teching of rpm. Many warnings were handed out to get recalls, and two were thrown out.



Consider asking you for a recall a warning.



Most were 4200 and down.



one 4499.

One 4600, one 4999. It sounded gooodddddd!





Do you Street guys who pushed so hard for the limit,think the rule is working out? Yes or no?

Hey Gene, I got a comment:

Lighten the sled up a bit, makes for a better show if we can pull it a bit faster/farther and its not so hard on the trucks... . that way nobody breaks their truck in half trying to get down the track! Every other puller I talked to said they preferred a little lighter said as well as myself.



Flame away!

Jeremy Straley - Razor's Edge

 

[ThrottleJockey]

Dave Radzeirez and Jeremy Straley.



Thanks guys. I couldn't hear the announcer. I'm sittin' closer next pull I go to.

 

[Sled Puller]

I never met a puller that didn't want a light sled. :-laf



2wks before, you may remember Ray having trouble getting you guys whoed at Gaston. He went home and freshened up his grouser bars.



The sled was plenty light, it just drug realllll hard when the steel hit the ground.

Nobody had trouble shaking it loose-except the hero gear boys.



Remember, there should only be a few trucks around 300.

 

[JerrodGlover]

I will be the first to say the old sleddy was right, the RPM limit made the street class a bore to watch. Lets all hope for 2. 8 no bushing and let them sing next year.

I believe Darren Smiths truck is no longer stage 2, but a stage 3... . and yes it's blue--not sure about the EDGE sticker though, as he was running a REDLINE for RPMS ... ... .



congrats Justin... ... . chris

Still a Stage 2 last I heard. Truck was pretty impressive to watch.

 

[csutton7]

When I talked to Rick a couple of weeks ago he said they were upgrading it specifically for Indy---but maybe they didn't get it done---but it sure did run good and that's the bottom line---chris

 

[AFarmer]

It did do a fine job that's for sure.

[DRadzierez]

It was not my weekend. Very poor set-up on sat. Sleddys track kicked my tail!!!!!Then on sunday I had a much better set-up but lost the front ring and pinion around 225'. But Im getting used to ring and pinions at IRP-last year it was the rear r&p. Straleys kickin butt,hell get his set dialed in-and remember he was pulling on DOT's. The other mod were on top of there game. The super streets kick but this year and some of the street trucks are tearin it up also.

 

[Bpostel]

Any video of the mod trucks?
