Paul, will you be attending the NHRDA event? All of us from Southern Jefferson State will hopefully be there if our trucks are running. We will at least be there with the dyno.

Don't forget about me :what: . I should be at this event as well. Still running that single Stage 2 or went to Duals finally? I think we can have a convoy from here on out if you want.

I heard Friday night parking/camping is free. Can anybody verify this?

I understand where you are coming from, but I have seen one of these trucks in person. They are Show, BUT they actually GO too :bang.. So cut these newbie's some slack Cole.


So when is your rig actually getting done Cole? I was looking forward to showing you my new sticker on my tailgate :evil . Well maybe we can look at each others window's and wave, since your rig is a sleeper with a hood stack and a timeslip of 11.6.

for the past month i've been calling and e-mailing that track and no one answers or replies...there is no event scheduled Friday night, so the gates may not open until 8am on Saturday...staying at the track Saturday night should be no problem..

I read in a thread or forum that Friday night parking was free and can camp out. But guess they don't want that many spectators or our money :bang .

Why would we PM Diesel Nut? If you have modified trucks then great, post what you have and numbers yourself. Or let us see at the track. I think it is great that you guys are comming out to Fallon but I also thought what Cole said was funny especially when you look at your sig. Don't think we are hating on you guys we are just stirrin the pot a little.:poke:

I said If you don't belive me pm him. I see why you guys would think that is funny, its cool. But its pretty damn sweet when you look at Rajs truck thinking its all show but then when he gets on it, it MOVES..lol. Out of the ridin high site only Raj and I will be going to this event. We are the only two guys out of the site that have a few little mods under the hood :D. I think its great that you guys will be going to Fallon as well. Hope to see you guys and your crew there too.

Still waiting for the duals, we'll see how things work out. I'll probably be leaving from the valley, just depends on how my schedule with work is going down here on base.

I'm going to be there with my toy hauler Friday, regardless if the gates are open or not...dry camping in or out of the gates doesn't matter to me...the track is 15 miles south of Fallon...

I got to see that Excursion in action, hopefully.

Zack, let me know what time you are going? So I can follow you or have a convoy or something like that okay? Since I think Sam will go with his rig as well. Wish Erick or Reb could go, but O well.

I can't wait for the dual pumps to get done. I need them badly, but you at least got that Stage 2 pump.

What happened to your rig Zack? I heard you were having problems and then when you took it to Brown's, the problem went away? Sounds like the truck got scared of the Brown Brothers and started running fine.

Wiring harness, we think. Update- don't think my trailer will be up for the trip yet, so we're hitting a hotel. Not sure when we are leaving yet, we might go a day early to visit friends in Monterey on the way.

brackets are standard brackets but i think there is a 12.0 cap , super street is heads up racing , pro tree , no time cap but has a min weight, DOT tires/slicks and no tube chassis but no time cap so fastest truck wins . not shure on pro street but its like 10 sec and better trucks .

I hear what you are saying Trent, the bar is being raised quickly for both Superstreet, and prostreet and the season is still young. We should rethink the classes in NHRDA after this season. Don't want too many classes or there are not enough entries in each class. Rob has no problem winning with a slow truck, hell he won both classes in Bremerton with a street tune. You decided where to go yet?

ya if your truck breaks i might have a fighting chance in super street :hehe:
still dont know what event , if i have to choose it will be Billings , but dont count me out yet for hitting both ! might stop by the shinny store to butter up the wife :Cheer:

i think a 11.50 or 11.00 index would be a good choice for super street , and kick the 10 sec guy's to pro street . but once again need to have enough trucks . but i think there are a ton of 11 sec dodges and duramaxes . who knows , i will race either way , with the kind of RT's most guys get on pro tree's i can compete with alot of guys running deep 11's . i saw alot of .3-.7 rt's before :hehe:

Looks like this is my Class. So I would need to bring my helmet as well,looks like. When they ask for us to dial between 12.00 and 19.99 second ET, what does that mean? I will have to tell them what I think I am going to run and be closest to that 1/4 time? I never ran my truck, so I have no clue what I will be running. Talk about an idiot going to this event, well here I am.

You will get two, sometimes three qualifying runs. You will be laddered (paired with another competitor) by your best reaction time. You are correct in that you must estimate what your 1/4 mile ET will be. Compare the ETs from your qualifying runs and and decide what your dial will be. I usually dial between .02 and .04 quicker than my best qual run but dialing that close comes with experience and lots of practice.

Subman631
05-22-2009, 06:06 PM
As Jim stated, you run your truck all out in the qualifying heats then you write on your window what you think the truck will do in the elimination rounds. Say your truck runs a 13.5, 13. 7 and 13.4 in the qualifying heats. You want to choice a dial in that will allow you to go all out, but not be faster than your dial in time that you write that on your window. In this case you might want to dial a 13.3 and see how it goes. If you are too fast and go faster than your dial, then you lose unless the person you race breaks out too, (that's what they call it when you go too fast) then it's whoever broke out the least advances. As you get more experience you can start dialing it in in the 100th of a second as Jim stated, starting out it's difficult to be consistent enough on the launch to dial that tight.

You can also red light and lose. Again if you both happen to dial the same time and both red light, the person who leaves the closest to the green wins. If you are racing a slower truck and they red light while you are still waiting you automatically win. The difference in the dials is the head start the slower truck gets. In theory, if you both dial perfectly and you both had identical reaction times you should cross the finish line in a dead heat. That seldom if ever happens.

Ladders are made by reaction time. the best against the worst and second best against second worst and so on. As you progress through the rounds, the reaction time from the previous rounds are used to build the new ladder. If there is an odd number of trucks, the person with the best reaction time from the previous round gets the by.

Brackets level the field, don't need a fast truck to win, just need a great reaction time and a truck that runs very consistent so you know exactly what it will run. You have to anticipate the light. If you wait till it turns green odds are pretty good you will lose. Takes a ton of practice, try leaving when the third light turns yellow, that usually works pretty well for these big trucks.

By the way old Jim in the great white racing 2x4 dodge is very good at it. If your truck is 4x4 air down your tires to aboout 25 psi in the back and 30 in the front, and do a boosted launch in 4x4. If your tranny is built you can leave with more boost. If not then maybe leave with less boost. Have fun.

Thanks you so much for clearing everything up. I was a little confused about everything, but now you have made everything clear.

I have a full billet tranny and 4x4. Wish my Dual CP3's were done :bang , but I will have to run with the Stock CP3 for now. I should be a 12.5-12.8, so lets see what it actually does. Whats the temperature like in Fallon, NV? Looks like I will have to run a Water/Meth kit and pour some windshield fluid and ice into it.

By the way old Jim in the great white racing 2x4 dodge is very good at it. If your truck is 4x4 air down your tires to aboout 25 psi in the back and 30 in the front, and do a boosted launch in 4x4. If your tranny is built you can leave with more boost. If not then maybe leave with less boost. Have fun.

Thanks a lot for the great info:Cheer:

with the kind of RT's most guys get on pro tree's i can compete with alot of guys running deep 11's . i saw alot of .3-.7 rt's before :hehe:

On a .400 pro tree, I'm happy with a .1xx.

Funny how a 12.0 truck can win in Super street and pro street if the luck is there, but happens quite a bit. Getting to the finals without breaking is the biggest thing when running trucks in the 11 second and faster range.

I'd also like the see a class for the 11.5-12.5 trucks(and diesel cars). Needs to be 11.5 and slower for the everyday drivers without a roll bar, IMHO.

Trent, the Billings event is a blast, I highly recommend it. The Boise event that is the same week of Fallon is nothing compared to a NHRDA event.

I heard if you have a 13 second or below truck.You can't run unless you have a driveshaft loop. That is what NHDRA rules say. That is of course on street tires. I don't have any drive shaft loops yet.

So does that mean I won't be able to compete?

I believe that is a mistake. Street tires and loops not required until 11.5 IIRC

I believe Rob is correct. The only exception might be if you are running slicks. I don't have access to an NHRA rule book so I can't say for sure. I run DOT slicks and have loops, more for safety than anything else. I've never been asked at tech if I have loops.

Ken and I thrashed on the Max'd Out truck all this week to get it ready for this event. I have to be at home and Nathan will be running the controls.

I can't wait to see if all this hard work pays off while running on street tires.

The truck should tear the old S.S. record apart.

Interesting but short day for Max'd Out at Fallon. Tried a middle tune that Rob built to test new suspension and try to dial it in. Nathan ran a 10.38 on the new Street MT drag radials, 132.84. Kind of hot lapped and came around launching soft and went 10.80, 131. Something was rattling bad when we got the truck back to the pits. It's something in the drive train, think we have a pretty good idea, but won't speak out till we know for sure. Don't think it is too serious, will have to see when we get it tore down.

I thought it would have been a bigger event, but it was still fun. The elevation killed most of us Cali guys. Raj couldn't even boost his dang turbo and I could only build 30 psi and net a 12.5.

Zack eliminated me and then later broke out himself. But best thing, we all showed up and had fun.

Damn, you make it sound so bad, the bottom end just needed some air, thats all, $.02 its actually kinda cool to get guys on both sides of the truck and look at each other through the block.:bang this would have never happened to the mighty 6.4:blahblah1: *bdh*
