I'm kinda young @ 27, but DAM&! This made me feel old, that you had to "read up" on Pat's stuff. That truck is a freakin legend, and reminds me of being a teenager when this stuff when starting to get a little exposure.

Thanks! By today's standards it's not currently competitive. But it has seen it's share of action over the years. Should start running it again soon. No more Bonneville though. Just drags and sled pulling.

I'm not much under you, I'm 24, I just must have missed it somehow.

The fact that it's that well rounded is pretty impressive to me. Not many trucks could be successful in all three areas like yours was.

If you say so hoss.


I have wondered if they have maybe addressed the lubricity issues with alcohol in a conventional diesel fuel system.

"blown smoke" looks like it will be crazy. At first I thought the facebook page was the creation of a professional troll. Too crazy to be real is what I thought at least.

Hi Phil, we should be able to start going to events again in the next year of so. Allison turns 16 in July but can't drive her brother until she has her license for a year. She's in the IB program, so she can't miss school so it's limited our racing for the past couple of years.

Hope you and yours are doing well :hug:

Sounds convenient to call out only when you're ready and ride the pine for years in between...

Until the last year or so there wasn't any competition for them to run against. It would have been better for the sport for them to run every season, but I'm sure it gets a little old spending that kind of money to compete against a stop watch.
