Competition Tulare: Mitchell's Twins and Clutch RULE!

[Sled Puller]

BRANDON ROCKS!



Early word, Brandon put them all on the trailer, twice, including Powersnorter, no small feat, it actually shocked me.



Brandon has officially beat an eastern truck, and since he has Mitchell parts, he will get an honorary mention among the Easterners bs session at the next pull!



Way to go Brandon, and glad you had no carnage. Oo.

 

[StakeMan]

Any more news from Tulare?



Congrats Brandon.

 

[Rob Thomas]

Great to hear Brandon!



Later, Rob

 

[csutton7]

top three--both classes



Brandon

James Silva

Frank(powersnorter)



hopefully distances will be posted if someone got them----



way to go guys-----super congrats to Brandon... chris

 

[JoeyD]

How many diesel classes? I just read that someone else came in 1st, they did say 7500lb class though.

 

[LSMITH]

Way to go B!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep the other kids on the trailer too!!!

 

[csutton7]

i don't know if they had other classes--the intent was to have stock, modified and open---chris

 

[Sled Puller]

This is starting to bug me...



Lets do the math:

Keep in mind that Powersnorter has beaten Lorretta Mitchell several times this year.



Lorretta and Frank both have just ripped Cummins Strokin.



We know CS has dynoed well over 600hp, into the mid 700's with drugs.



Does this mean that Brandon is in the 600 perhaps 700 hp club on straight Diesel?



That will be enough Brandon, I think you better leave the truck alone now, no more improvements. :{ :{

Hey Sled Puller, didnt any one ever tell you that sled pulling is all about RPM and not real diesel horsepower Besides, since Brandon has not dynoed on the "correct" dyno, there is no way he could possibly be over 250, 300 tops



By the way, in the 7500 open, Brandon put 16 feet on powersnorter. James was 1 foot behind brandon in 8500, but i didnt catch the exact distances. I was too busy laughing at the guys in the stands behind me who had just gotten done telling their friend how a manual trans truck didnt stand a chance because they cant get enough ground speed up. You might want to take a note of that brandon, if you are going to get serious about this sled pulling thing, you better get a slushbox. At least thats what the xperts say T. L. P. forever Baby

 

[Sled Puller]

I get what you are saying, you are saying James has 600 hp also, right?



I may half to make a Cali trip next Oct. , to bring the Tulare Trophy back to Pennsylvania, this is just not right!

 

[rubberneck]

No, james is probably around 290 or so when he is all hopped up on the drugs. Darn punk, just cant stay clean and sober. I hope you come out next year, it would be nice to meet you. Brandon talks highly about you, but then again, he is nice to everybody

My point exactly

 

[Sled Puller]

Personaly, I would love to see the that Lock up TC on the line at 80#boost getting ready to launch 40,000 pounds out of the hole!







WARNING to any Automatic transmission company thinking about sponsoring Dave Mitchell:



Send a tractor trailer load of trannys, because he will need a new one every pull!

 

[TORQUS MAXIMUS]

I believe Brandon won at 278',just beating out James Silva at 277'. Congratulations Brandon.

 

[BigBadDodge]

We had a 7500lb street, 7500lb Exstream, and then 8500lb street, and 8500lb Exstream, and can't forget the two wheel drive class too. That was it for the classes.



Brandon ruled the track, it was a site seeing that properly valved, manual transmission out pull the compitition.



Gene you gotta get out here next year, maybe MayMadness even.



CONGRATES "B"
