Looks like Brandon is doing some footwork since I told him I would tow him out:D

Chris

[RacinDuallie]

^Do I need to list the taco bell locations for the sombrero boy?? LOL LOL

[Signature600]

I'll bet he's already found them!

Chris

[RacinDuallie]

I'm gonna put a 10 dollar bounty on the sombrero-LOL LOL LOL LOL

[joefarmer]

I'm gonna put a 10 dollar bounty on the sombrero-LOL LOL LOL LOL
Allentown it is.

LOL I was offered $50 at Indy for it and I still have it.

[RacinDuallie]

LOL LOL Better bring your running shoes- or put a chinstrap on that sombrero then LOL LOL LOL

[Signature600]

LOL LOL LOLLOL LOL LOLLOL LOL LOLLOL LOL LOL

Brandon, Run?? You have a better shot at getting me to run!


My advice would be to pay someone off to take it while he sleeps...anyone up before Noon should be able to pull it off!

Chris

[RacinDuallie]

Well, well, well..... I spoke to Wade Moody last night- he has his new tune with glitches removed- said he is interested in coming out to play. Looks like the NGM Ram might make the show......

[RacinDuallie]

Awaiting a confirmation on the fast rig from the MASS Diesel Gang also! ( Scott- I hope you make it!)

[joefarmer]

Eh. We have a problem. Apparently I'm testing a new two-piece shaft turbo. :doh: Is it a problem to have turbo parts sticking out of the air filter? Can I still pass tech with those?

[RacinDuallie]

Damn Brandon........... That sucks!

[Signature600]

You should donate your B1 to the project Jeff:D

Chris

[RacinDuallie]

Ummmm ahhhhh..........LOL LOL LOL LOL

[Signature600]

C'mon...we won't hurt it:D

Chris

[RacinDuallie]

:blahblah1: :doh: :doh: :doh:

[massdiesel]

We are trying will no later in the day we will only make two or three hits and they will be half passes having some braking issues

[RacinDuallie]

*dial *dial *dial.....

[joefarmer]

B1's are built to be indestructible, right? :hehe:

[RacinDuallie]

B1's are built to be indestructible, right? :hehe: Didnt You or Chris have a steroid -1 between ya?

I have a hx35 you can use for the event?:hehe: :hehe:

[Signature600]

No...I used to have a B1 like yours...without all the fancy smancy coatings:D

Chris

[joefarmer]

Didnt You or Chris have a steroid -1 between ya?

I have a hx35 you can use for the event?:hehe: :hehe:
LOL I'm afraid the hx35 would die sooner than the 50' mark the current setup did. We did have a steroid B1. It went on Mikes truck and lasted ~5 months before it popped. I guess that's pretty good for us.

[RacinDuallie]

hmmmm wish there was more time to work this out- I woulda liked to see a test session with a certain 80mm hot huffer... I wouldnt have time to do a proper testing session with this event ( gotta make sure event goes smoothly and cannot be preoccupied )

[Signature600]

Speaking of that...when do you want me to get ahold of you about the tranny...I assume after everything's over?

Chris

[RacinDuallie]

Na, stop by the EZ up when ever you are ready, if you are running I'll keep it in my truck for safe keeping- tech wont allow a tranny strapped into beds for passes LOL LOL LOL LOL.

[Signature600]

I'm driving Dad's 08 Chevy Gasser...so I don't think I'll make any passes:D

Chris

[RacinDuallie]

If its a pick-em up truckster- you can make passes- LOL :evil:

[Signature600]

Hmm...Dad said he wanted to break it in. I'll bet I could make some bracket passes in it:D

Do you allow flatbeds?
Chris :D :D

[RacinDuallie]

It's an ALL TRUCK EVENT........:evil:

[Signature600]

Man...I wish I hadn't bent a valve on the VW...it would have been more fun!

Chris

[RacinDuallie]

Wait til ya see the 34 Chivvey with the naturally aspirated 6.5- not fast but cool as hell! I was trying to talk him into a huffer addition on it LOL

[Signature600]

Put a blower on it:D
Chris

[RacinDuallie]

Racin Duallie had a great time today... thanks alot for talking me into coming. Although dropping a shaft isnt the best of days couldnt have had more fun and seeing some sweet a$$ trucks. That will make a good inspiration on the rest of my diesel career. Thanks again to everyone that helped out with the event and every one that participated. Everyone was glad to see a new face on the track and more then willing to give me a few points... Hope to see u at island next year if not before. RacinDuallie if u get a chance can u post a link of the results, video and pics when u recieve them.

[CumminNotRunnin]

Everyone was a big help and had no problem given a new guy a couple pointers. PLus it was awesome coming out and seeing some of the Sick A$$ trucks they had there. Again thank you again to all the fellow particpants and all the event staff especially racinduallie. Glad to be a NHRDA member!!!! Finally Joined. cant wait to see the sled pulls at island!!!!

[CumminNotRunnin]

For those not there-(the after event festivities)- we went on a backroad blast after the event with me leading in my Vipertruck, Angelo was behind me with his Phat Shaft screaming and the smoke rolling across our leaders rental vehicle:hehe: :hehe: (Randy Cole was behind Angelo) with the rest of the convoy following closely behind.... I am not one to drive slow:drive: and Randy informed our group later on that in the pub LOL so every time I heard Angelo's Phat Shaft spoolin up I mashed the pedal and blasted forward with our group playin catch up LOL- I L-ed MAO everytime I seen the coal get thrown at poor Randy in his lil sport utlly :st: LOL

Yea we hit that traffic too- I got fed up-had to take an exit and do the backroad boogie again.....

[Signature600]

Good time...Glad we made the drive out...but wish Brandon would quit tearing stuff so we could have raced something. Looking back, I should have grabbed a helmet and made some passes in Dad's 08 Chevy:D

Nice meeting you Jeff...once again, Thanks...and we'll try to come back out again:D It a bit of a drive, but I think we could do it in 9 hours if we tried...we would have made it home in 9 hours had we not talked to Jetpilot for about 45 minutes:D

Chris

[RacinDuallie]

Chris,

Ya shoulda called me when ya got there- I woulda hooked ya up- Wade needed a SFI fire jacket and I gladly let him borrow mine- (it was a little large for him-LOL but enough for him to pass tech and make runs all day) - I had a helmet behind the seat:doh:

Nice flatbed btw!

[Signature600]

I asked the woman at the gate if helmets were required...she said yes...if she had told me I could rent/borrow one from the concession stand, I would have...but I didn't really think about it after that. I had a good time spectating:D
