[RacinDuallie]

:cheer:It was inquired about a Dyno Competition at this Season Opener. We are in the process of finding out some particulars with the tracks involved this season. Obviously we have a set in stone Dyno Competition at TI Dyno after the Thompson Dragway event.

So we just may end up with an all out Diesel Powered Event Fest up in the NorthEast after all.:woohoo:

Oh we have this one other issue to work on obtaining...............











*SLED PULLING........

[dzlfarmboy]

Well I've talked to Twisted Shifter when he inquired about bringing the Dyno down to MIR but nothing ever came of it??

[RacinDuallie]

Well I've talked to Twisted Shifter when he inquired about bringing the Dyno down to MIR but nothing ever came of it?? That's probably because you needed to inquire to the NorthEast Division 5 Director (me) LOL I spoke with Chris (c-hawk) via PM and on the phone today. Hopefully we can pull the nessesary strings to make this deal happen.:cheer:

I didn't ask him, he sent me a PM about what would it take for us to bring it to the MIR events......

[c-hawk]

RD,

Thanks for the call.

Hopefully we can get this going, I think it would be a good addition to the events.

Talk to you soon.

Chris

[crzycowboy]

:woohoo: now a possible dyno run....SWEET.....I'm gonna have to make sure I have anothe battery or a car charger for my video camera....

[RacinDuallie]

Hmmmm rumor has it a sweet show and shine competition is being planned with a sponsor.........:cheer:

[CumminNotRunnin]

If you can work out ur other issue of obtaining a sled pull and do have one i think this would be worth me coming down for ....

[crzycowboy]

Hmmmm rumor has it a sweet show and shine competition is being planned with a sponsor.........:cheer:


Funny...I heard the same thing....I may have to do some investagating this weekend to see if this is a true rumor....:evil

[crzycowboy]

If you can work out ur other issue of obtaining a sled pull and do have one i think this would be worth me coming down for ....

I'd like to see some sled pulls too...we'll have to see what 2009 will bring us though...I think....

[RacinDuallie]

I'd like to see some sled pulls too...we'll have to see what 2009 will bring us though...I think....

Believe me, I have been bombarded with Sled Pull requests. Seems like just 1 hour East of me is a large Sled Pull population ready to drag a sled......

We would need a Sled Pull Director that is very familliar with rules and specs for the multitude of classes, cause honestly, I'd rather race- it's more familliar to me. But, we will not rule Sled Pulling out. It's just a matter of finding the right people to help get that ball rolling....... I know it would take off like wild fire up here too.......:Cheer:

With speaking with Randy, he has a good idea. Most of the NHRDA guys are drag racers, not pullers. His idea was if there was a pulling orginazation that wanted to be affiliated with the NHRDA, that is the route he would consider taking. In other words, the NHRDA guys will be there running the drag race show, and the pulling orginazation would run the pulling aspect of it. They would supply their own tech guys, enforce rules...things of that nature. I've told Randy that when it comes to Ohio and PA, I can hook him up with well know pulling associations. I think before the end of the year, the 2009 season will be 5x bigger than this year for division 5....:evil

:cheer::Cheer: I have been getting calls too, people are excited about the new Division 5 Point Series. :rockwoot:We are hoping to structure this Division and cement it's foundations for years to come.:woohoo:

I also have heard of several trucks showing up at their local tracks for testing- so all our competitors better put their best race game face together.
This year should be an exciting kick off.:rockwoot::evil:evil

:tree:

[SKYNYRD]

i'll be down there for this one and hopefully a few more of the maryland DTR guys!

Duallie dont think im making it MIR had some issues with the truck this past weekend and dont think i have it running satisfactory for the event like i need it too.Plus fuel took a 25 cent hike in one week at all the stations around me and i personally dont think i can foot a 300 dollar fuel bill to come down and make three dyno runs and one day of fun... Money is getting tighter by the day.

[RAB 38]

[RAB 38]

From the hotels in Laplata it is about 25 minutes to the track. They are having what they call midnight madness, basically street car night. However they are having the real street cars there as well this friday, which is a real good show. These are low 8 and high 7 second street cars on a 10.5 inch tire.

Maybe we can meet up somewhere for some drinks and food then head to the track?

[massdiesel]

If all goes well we will be at the track staying in the truck and trailer and testing fri evening still have a few issues with a couple of componets.We are trying for this event

Going to be one crazy night! This Friday is the third Real Street race of the year! Witness these 7-second 190mph plus drag radial cars stand them on the rear bumper trying to get to the finish line first! Richie Stine has been unbeatable this year, and MIR has now placed a cash bounty on the notorious racer. Real Street drivers will be traveling up from Virginia and down from New York to take on Stine and the other MD/DC/VA Real Street racers in what could be a record setting night at MIR! Gates will open at 6:30pm, and trophy racing will start at 10 pm. Admission is only $10 to watch, or $20 to race your car or bike

[getblown5.9]

also know of a local guy who will be bring his average run of the mill looking foxbody mustang on 17" wheels with drag radials that looks like maybe a 12 sec car...except it runs 8's.

and RD, if you bring the viper truck, that mustang vs. fbody event has a truck class you can enter it in if you wanna try to win some cash.

The Vipertruck is shined up and ready to roll...... damned timeclock... I'll be on the road in about 2 hours.

[getblown5.9]

I'll see you folks tomorrow...will I be able to park in the pit area or wherever the tents will be? my buddy said that parking at MIR is nuts and that i'll have to park like a half mile away and walk in to the track

[RAB 38]

It shouldn't be too bad for parking tomorrow, if you want to park in the pits you probably just have to pay more to do it.

[RacinDuallie]

It was great to meet new friends and see old friends at M.I.R... Skynard, RobertP, RAB 38, C-Hawk and the guys from TNT Dyno, Metalman, Wade, TJ, Karl and Josh, Scott, CTD8999 and everyone else I might have missed. It was a great time for those who braved the holiday traffic and the holiday fuel prices gouge at the pump. Each event is another learning experience for me, it's something that I enjoy learning upon. Royce Miller has a quality track there and his facilities there is first rate. We are discussing our seasons points finals event already and the purse up for grabs will be a great attaction for Division 5 members.

Treesmasher had a great time at the event and he finally was able to see Metalman's lil Chebbie Rat Rod Smoker. I knew he would just fall over when he seen it and when he first spotted Doug pulling into tech he was hooked. Doug built that lil hot rod in his shop just for the hell of it and that lil 6.5 Chebbie smoker is stupid reliable, and consistent!!!!! ( I think Doug will listen to me the next time on the dial in- LOL I was dead on saying he should change that 3 to a 5:lolly:) At the first meet last year, in Jersey I told Doug he needs to get a turbo on that ratty, he said he would love to but finding an affordable one is the task, I donated a HX 35 just to get him going, what a suprise it was to see he had that puppy installed and his times improved!! Now I have my eye out for a lil better turbo for him. hehehe that lil rod is damned cool.

One of the guys from TNT snapped his output shaft off the line. It was a cringing moment to hear that snap when the shaft let go. I know that snap all too well and knew it wasn't a driveshaft like the announcers were calling it, I radio-ed the correction to them as we were running up to push the wounded Dodge off the line.

From the danged Holiday traffic to being raped at the pump, and the burned clutches and broken transmissions, I would like to personally thank those who came out to the event to brave those conditions. These great members we have are the reason why I volunteer my time on helping to build this Northeast Division. Meeting the new people and making new friends who share the same passion for diesel performance is very rewarding in itself. I move on to the next scheduled event with even more passion for growth. And it's folks like the one who showed up that help drive this.

Thanks to ALL who came out !

See y-all at the next one!! On to Ohio- June 28 !!!:woohoo:

[RacinDuallie]

Also a helmut is required if riding with Racing Duallie:what: Looks like you left your helmet back in WashingtonLOLLOL When going for breakfast before the event, Randy jumped in the Vipertruck for the ride:badidea::evil:evil:evil:evil


Josh has video, and I won't admit to any shenanigans on the streets of La Plata, Maryland........:stab:

Treesmasher lived up to his name as he tree'd me at the stoplight-WITH A MINIVAN!!!:owned: but I ripped by him with the tires in protest:lolly:

[Twisted Shifter]

Good Deal ............ Sounds like everyone had a great time ...........*nx*:ft::nos:

[crzycowboy]

Good times for sure...I also got a pro-mod I belive on tape running 6.35 @ 220+ MPH! I'll post some video's shortly.

[RacinDuallie]

Those Pro Mods sure had a hard time all day hooking up. It was great to finally see one of em hook and stay hooked all the way down the track.

My all time favorite class.

Yeah those Pro Mods had some issues. Good thing I got that one on tape...:evil. I wonder how well the race went on Sunday for MIR.

[Signal 73]

them viper trucks are no joke!

[BigB82789]

That minivan was no joke, it took that viper forever to catch him!

[RacinDuallie]

That minivan was no joke, it took that viper forever to catch him!LOL The Viper likes to put on smoke shows off the line......

[RacinDuallie]

them viper trucks are no joke! Off the line, it's hard to get her to hook, I suspect a rear axle housing change with smaller rotors is in order for drag racing, the smaller rotors would enable 16" wheels to fit ( I think there is 14" rotors there now and I'd have to grind the chit outta the calipers to even make 19's fit....).

Out on the open road lookout though cause she flat hauls. I won't admit to any shenanigans, but the roads on the trip were prime time awesome for high speed blasts..... Saturday nite on the trip home Treesmasher and I were boogying through traffic and I had some open real estate in front of me so I slammed the skinny pedal- I was roughly 1 mile ahead Treesmasher and he radioed me saying he could still hear the exhaust screaming:rockwoot::hehe::hehe:

[TKC2000]

It was nice meeting everyone there at MIR. I'm glad I was talked into running instead of dyno'ing. I had more fun that way. First time out and I come away with a win....might have been the only one in the bracket but a win is a win :rockwoot:

And I don't care what ya'll say about Jimbo, anyone that likes Guiness is OK with me. :Cheer:

What bracket were you in?

[CumminNotRunnin]

What was the highest horsepower put down out there?

[ctd8999]

Highest # put down ???? It was a pretty poor turn - out. The TnT guys dynoed -------- ONE -------- CAR !!!! The DRAG RACE end was almost as BAD. I seen more DIESEL TRUCKS at a fuel stop along the way. It may have been fun but when you drive unteen miles if an event with no turn out it kinda SUCKS. Just my $.02. Steve B.

[SKYNYRD]

well it was memorial day weekend so alot of people had plans and parties
already.

[crzycowboy]

well it was memorial day weekend so alot of people had plans and parties
already.

This is true. I think we all would've liked to seen more trucks, but giving the weekend it was, the first time the NHRDA was there, it doesn't surprise me the turn out we had. Especially since there is a big rig diesel race this coming weekend there. Each event will get better, an I'm sure the final event which is a national event, with double points awarded, will be a better turn out!

[RacinDuallie]

I seen more DIESEL TRUCKS at a fuel stop along the way. It may have been fun but when you drive unteen miles if an event with no turn out it kinda SUCKS. Just my $.02. Steve B. Steve, I along with the other NHRDA volunteers drove down from Jersey sat in that danged holiday traffic and helped put on the event, on our own dime mind you, no matter how many trucks showed up ! Steve- would I have loved for a huge turnout?- you bet your azz I woulda ! Look at the "special" Holiday pricing at the fuel pumps= GOUGE ! The Holiday itself, many people plan that day to be with the most important part of their lives, that being their families, so it is very understandable to me the low numbers for the turnout that we had. That was the day that M.I.R. had available for us- do we take a chance or refuse that day? We took a chance, and for the trucks and racers that DID show up we were there to give them racing. To say it wasn't a learning experience would be putting it mildly. Josh and Karl drove all the way in from Ohio to set up their display, TNT Dyno dragged in their dyno (2 hour drive) Randy flew in from Washington State, so we were all collectively rolling the dice with the anticipation of a good turnout..... The racers that ran collected their points for the Points Series, collected any Contingencies, and were awarded really nice trophies- and we move on to the next event ( which is NOT on a Holiday )...... The NHRDA is not abandoning the North East, we are building this Division for the long term. With each event we learn.......:Cheer:

[massdiesel]

Nice Post:cheer::Cheer:

:clap::clap: Well said Jeff. Carl (spelled with a "C" not a "K" Jeff) an I drove over 7 hours hoping for a good day. It was sunny and 70* out....that was a good day. Like I said before, an I know Randy and Jeff both feel the same way, each event will get a little bigger, and better. Sooner or later it will be just as big as the Division 1 races IMO. At any rate, it was nice to meet some new people, and see you again Steve, I still think you have one of the quickest Dodges around us in your class.

[TKC2000]

Congrats on your win :rockwoot:

What bracket were you in?

I was in the Pro 2 . Nobody else showed :). Lucky for me I guess.

[c-hawk]

I hear ya... next time i hope i don't break, but if i do i want to at least be competing when it happens. :hehe:

Will's truck broke a stock output leaving the line, and by the time we drug the dyno home, picked up a gooseneck and came back to get it, we didn't get home until 4 in the morning. Sunday was a recovery day for me. :doh:

[RacinDuallie]

Sunday was recovery day for me also.:bang

[Robertp]

[crabbelle]

chris you guys should have called me i would have ran down and picked up wills truck, all i did was drop my truck off at the farm then went to the ocean

[TURBOLVR]

Sorry , If they want any real turnout IN new england the NHRDA will have to give us POINTS RACES up here and not just 6-10hrs away!!!!! with fuel as high as it is folks have to work a little more and plan trips. 3 of the 7 events are close enough to me yet NONE are for points?!? So why go? Epping NH doesnt even list NHRDA on the calendar.:what:

The event in NH and Lebannon Valley is a DDRA/NHRDA joined forces event. Basically we joined forces to have a fun event with both the associations. This will not be a points event for NHRDA.
