Ive never had the opportunity to race anyone, nor do I think I would cause I'm only stock, but these posts are by far the most fun ones to read. I wonder if those guys on the powerjoke site are readin this stuff?

I always get a kick out of having to slow down on a big or long grade because I've got a rice burner in front of me not wanting to exceed 70 or move over. This is with my TT strapped to the hitch. I saw a lot of that on my last trip. What sucks is slowing down and having to downshift.

Makes me think of the Dodge Durango commercial where they come up behind a sports car on a twisty grade and say "Not another one"as if they are coming up behind an overloaded 18 wheeler. To top it off they've got a trailer behind them.

I have a hard time finding people to play with around here. I do get a chance every now and then here and there... . most of my playing is on the highway... ...

 

[98rammer]

i can't find anyone to race around here either. the diesel guys just don't seem to care at all. i'm stock too so i wouldn't even attempt trying to outrun a duramax. gimme a couple years... Oo.

D Max's are the best to spank. Fords are pretty cocky out here. Big lifts and Banks stickers everywhere. They just love the cloud that comes from my exhaust.

Got that problem here to

For some reason the poor guys see my gauges on the A-pillar and think it's modified or something. From what a hear from my friends I've kinda built a reputation around here for being the truck to leave alone. You win 2 Truck pulls and spank a few Furds and your labeled a bad guy. I just don't understand it. Can't even get my best friend to race me with his new DMax. :{ :{ He just says "wait till I get my Juice Box, then I'll race ya" I told him if he wants I got a couple juice boxes in the house for the neices and neffews.



I know some were there's a truck that will race me, and might even beat me. That's why I need that new clutch and bigger injectors and a Comp box. :-laf :-laf



It's never fast enough.

I've had a few 'encounters' lately... .



I had a guy I know pull beside me at a light in his '98 Jeep TJ (5 speed)... . he asked me "Hey, you think that thing is fast?"... . I said: "Um, no it does weigh over 3 tons... . it's slow. "



He took off as if he expected me to race from the light... . I just went slow and easy. As I was approaching the next light I was now on his left and I popped her into 4x4. While I was waiting for the light to turn green he was laughing..... I built some boost and let her rip once the go light lit up. The launch was pretty violent... . it made my girlfriend's keys that were sitting on the dash hit her... and put both of us hard against the seat. I had at least 5 truck lengths on him once I lifted at about 60mph. He had his top off... . I bet he was just so excited from all the smoke he was inhaling!! My GF loved the race... and now has a new respect for the `ole Cummins.....



The other incidents were on highway... .



One was a Volvo wagon... . Fred and I don't like these cars... .

He suddenly slowed down so I naturally got a little closer to him... . he slammed on the brakes because he didn't like my headlights burning his retinas. So I got in the passing lane... put my tailpipe right by his 1/2 open driver's window and blew a HUGE cloud of soot right at him. He stayed WAY back behind me after that... .



The other was a Saab... . he thought I was gonna merge over because his lane was ending... . we were the only two vehicles on this stretch of highway. He put on the highbeams... . so I slowed down to about 45mph and hit the soot pedal... . he got so frightened that he cut the wheel really quick and almost went off the road.



Hey NETDP guys!! Remember the caravan from Mike Dez Racing over to the park??!! "Ahhhh... . these rabid bees are attacking me!!" I feel REALLY bad for any pedestrian that was walking along any road that we traveled on. :-laf



Just thought I'd share a few of my stories... .

When my son and I were on our way to Maryland for the Big Rig Nationals, we were on th interstate in West Virginia. I saw a black Duramax dually coming up fast in my mirror. I let them get even with my door, before I punched it. No need to reach down and "up" the box, I run with my TST PM3 on max all the time. I don't see how some of y'all can stand to turn it back down.

Anyways, I pulled away from them, and left it on 115mph for a few mileposts, no traffic. They caught up after I backed off, then took the next exit. The driver's window, which was tinted, slid down, and a pretty blonde waved at us. That was sweet. One haulin' mama not afraid to drop the hammer. Truck had a Wyoming tag on it.

The Duramaxes have top end, lots of it..... no surprise there.

Wyoming , if you're reading this, bring the truck to Thunder in Muncie, June 8th & 9th. See you there!

You didn't follow her why?Oo.

A couple quickies...

On my way to work and a co-worker in his Cobra pulls up beside me going 55 on the highway... he wants to play. A quick nod, he downshifts and floors it, I apply a nice amount of throttle and pull away from him. When we get to work he starts making excuses about which gear he dropped into. I said he should have just left it in 5th like I did... very nice.



I tried to get a Ford to play one day and he just wouldn't so I just blew by him. He had his window down and I think the considerable noise really annoyed him. I went to pull off the next exit and he comes flying around me and blocks the exit! He gets out of his truck, I get out of mine to discuss the weather with him and then he suddenly jumps back into his truck and leaves... go figure. Maybe there is something to those car alarms mysteriously going off in parking lots when I drive by.



Driving in town one day, gave some serious throttle at low boost and put out so much smoke that not only did I stop traffic but made one guy pull off the road. I think he thought my truck blew up. I try to be more careful about that now... best to save the smoke for the tailgaters.



Finally, I pull up behind a co-worker stopped at a light in his Alpha Romeo convertible (top down). I really hadn't used my air horns in a while so I figured it was about time to make sure they still worked. He just about jumps out of his seat (which probably needed a cleaning at that point). The traffic around us is looking at him like he did something wrong. It must have looked great because he was laughing and proudly displaying the finger out the top of the alpha.



These trucks are just way too much fun.
