DPM Final Season - Competition Diesel.Com

DavidTD · 01-31-2011, 07:52 PM

Well guys, Mike and I have discussed it and our 9th season will be the last.

We will be limited in events this year, but are scheduled to be at TS Performance and Schied Diesel. We'll be at Rudy's Diesel in Durham in early march and we'll keep the website updated with events scheduled, but I don't expect any outside of my area other than those noted.

I can speak for both Mike and I when I say we appreciate all of you that supported us over the years. I am honored you trust us to beat every last pony out of your trucks year after year. I've had a great time watching good HP numbers go from 400 to over 1000, learned a ton, and will be looking to seeing you all during the year.

Got Smoke? · 01-31-2011, 08:27 PM

No no no....this isn't good. I seriously doubt my motor will be back together before the end of the year.

You can't quit yet David/Mike....my 97 never broke 500HP on your dyno!

Now in all seriousness....I understand why you guys are hanging it up, and you've given us 9 great years! Thanks for the memories and I will definately be seeing you at some events this year!

Sorry to hear this Dave although, I can see why. You guys did some busting a$$ over the years.

for helping to start the diesel movement years ago... it's come a long way thanks to you guys !

haloman · 02-02-2011, 08:35 AM

Thank you guys for all the work over the years. You guys were a big part of the events.

DavidTD · 02-02-2011, 07:22 PM

Thanks everyone.

Now I get to sit on the sidelines and critique everything for a while.

Seriously, best part has been the great friends I have made during this process. Truly a great ride.

I'll look forward to watching this industry grow into the future.

95-12valve · 02-02-2011, 09:44 PM

Dave, you're the only man I trust to drive my truck on a dyno besides myself. You've become a great friend over the years. I completely understand wanting to step aside though. You, Mike and the DPM dyno will be greatly missed my friend! Lookin' forward to seeing you at the events relaxing not working!!! Thanks for everything Dave!!!

Got Smoke? · 02-02-2011, 09:58 PM

I got to thinking about how long I've known you today David, and WOW.... 3 words will surfice Black Mountain Diesel

That's the first time I met you, Eric McBride, Justin Williams, Wesley Wade, Aaron Ireton, etc, etc....wow its just hard to believe its been that long! Its been one helluva ride though buddy! I will get the Tow pig on the DPM dyno before the years out though!

m_b · 02-02-2011, 11:31 PM

Well Folks,as David has said it's been a great ride.

I never would of thought we would of had this success when we did our first event at Black Mountain Diesel 9 years ago.It has really been amazing watch the trucks grow over the years.All the support we have recieved from the diesel community over the years has been greatly appreciated.

I do look forward to seeing as many of you as i can this final year.Maybe next year i can get back to being a spectator or taking part in an event instead of working.

Thank you all,

Mike
