Competition West Coast White Ram/World record

[Rhondasway]

Sunday I happened to be at NHRA track Pacific Raceway (was Seattle International Raceway) in Kent WA, and witnessed a white 2WD Cummins throw down an 11. 12 @ 127mph with 1. 9 60' (and . 005 R/T). Not bad for the first run of the year.

Looks like there's a new top "dog"...

Always the quiet ones.

 

[HOSS]

I heard something about that :--)

 

[Bob Wagner]

It was nice to hear the sounds again

OK jim



what does the mph convert to in hp, just rough numbers?? I suppose it kinda matters on the weight of the truck too? or not so. Inform this guy who plays in the dirt!!

So was that on just diesel? or did he have to use drugs?

 

[Rhondasway]

#2 only. No tank in the rig.

 

[DRAG DIESEL]

Oooooh, i wanna come out and play!

His truck and Joe Hellman's should be about the same give or take a bit, Joe does 120 MPH with 660 HP... ..... I'd say that White truck is past me..... or were I was... ... I never tell all.

[MMiller]

That's cool Jim, I just thought there was an equation, certain speed, and it comes to roughly a HP. I understand not telling all, it is sometimes more fun to leave to the imagination, and let others just wonder!!

World Record

So I take it we are talking about Mr. Bill Fletcher. Great Job to who did that.



Just to clear the air and to stop the emails coming into the DHRA, this is not a DHRA record. Richard still holds the speed and ET records.



To set the record in that area Geoff Thomas can be contacted at -- email address removed --.

 

[Bob Wagner]

Is the amish proctologist going to post his time slip ?



congrat's Bill

 

[rholcom2]

WOW... ... ... ... ... . are there pics, or a video.



Whenever I see anything cool, I always miss it.

 

[Sled Puller]

Is there anyone east of the Big Muddy that knows how to dragrace?

Anyone?

Anyone?

 

[HOSS]

This is ONLY the beginning!!!!!



You can expect a lot more of that from the great northwest in the near future!!!

 

[HoleshotHolset]

127mph is enough to run a high 10...



Get the short time down just a smidge and it'll break into the 10's = NICE!

[Gary - K7GLD]

ALL the east-coasters know we here in the west pad our performance numbers by at least 20% - right Gene?

 

[Sled Puller]

Dyno numbers, yes Gary. 20% at least.



I think the dragstrips all down hill out there. My local strip is uphill.



Last year for pulling, maybe, time to drag, since noone else is.
