It happened at August Blackout 2008, in Edmonton. I'll let Alex tell the gory details, but apparently the injector rack hung open. He was trying to shut it down while slamming on the brakes as hard as he could, even popped the chute, but ended up launching airborne off the end of the track. Somewhere I have a photo I shot right after they brought the truck back, and he had bent the brake pedal trying to stop the thing.
Regards,
Michael Pliska

I suspect the pedal was bent after it stuffed the tundra after the shutdown area.....
Damn, that's a bit of work there but it looks to be progressing.
Alex- you guys gonna compete with her again or is she now dedicated to show duty?

I'm actually really surprised, I figured that you'll would cut the body off the chassis and throw it away and start over, good to see it come together.

It doesnt look that far back. I know someone who has moved their motor back about 16 inches and droped it 8 inches. They can almost touch the pump will siting in the drivers seat.

Charlie wanted to move it back only 4 or 6 inches. So, that isn't much at all.

New Pictures
Its coming back together now. We were invited to come to the American Drag Racing League (ADRL) race at Houston Motorsports Park March 6th & 7th and put on a show for them. It's 1/8th mile Pro Mods on a 10.5 tire, awesome to watch! They always have at least 50,000 spectators. We have HUGE box of free tickets also, if you want any just PM me or email Alex@drperformance.com Email will be the faster response.
Yeah thats same hood as before, just a little fiberglass and bondo work.
This is our other Bickel Pro Stock truck which is going have a common rail 5.9L in it. It is the Diesel Power Specialties truck and it's open to new sponsors. Below is what it will look like.

The truck looks good..but let me clarify something.
1...Pro Mods do not run on a 10.5 tire...not even a W. Also...in ADRL it's called Pro Extreme...not Pro Mod.
2...HMP seats 5000...Not 50,000. There will be SRO tickets...probably be 10,000 or so there...but not 50,000. But...ADRL is running at Houston Raceway Park this year...which will have probably 80,000 people there.
Look for my brother there...he's on Todd Moyer's XTF team.
