The h&s truck is nice as well, but that chevy is nice all over. I have painted cars all my life and that thing is pristine. its hard to find a paint job that you cant pick to death, but thats one of them. I have no idea how they keep it so slick and scratch free while working on it.

The crazy thing Ashley is that they painted it like 10 years ago or something like that!!! I was blown away by that when I did the feature article on it...
 
Congrats Bret ! That truck is scary fast ! I watched it at Thunder in Muncie , he let out of it three times on that 9.5 run because it was sideways . I knew it would go 8's and was just a matter of time before he got it there. It is a beautiful truck , I love those old chevys !

Thanks!! My dad painted it 16 years ago when my grandpa gave me the truck. I take a lot of pride into the paint job and try my hardest to keep it clean. I use 3mm thick collision rap on it any time I work on it. Thats the same stuff I cover the rear fenders with when I race. The stuff works awesome.

Thanks!! Yeah that was a fun ride. I knew I should let out when the guys against the wall started running away from it. LOL

I was impressed with the time that you ran that night . I even got crossed up to look at the walls a couple times in my truck and that don't happen that often.
 
Awesome looking truck/craftsmanship in person! Didn't get a chance to talk to Brent today but congratulations on the win at the world finals WITH an e.t. record with an 8.81! Just awesome
 
Congrats Brett on an amazing accomplishment and thanks for not giving up during the hard times as it would have been easy to do! You deserve all the success and thank you for dragging me along for the ride!
 
Thanks guys and girls!!! I could not have done it without my Dad and sponsors. We had an electrical problem ever since I put the motor back together and in the truck a couple weeks ago. The engine would only start about once every ten times. I was getting a cam crank correlation code. We checked all the wires and powers and grounds. No one had any sensors around me so we loaded the truck up and headed for Texas. We stopped at a dealer in Missouri. Got to the track Friday afternoon and put new cam and crank sensors in the truck and it didn't help. Now the truck would not start at all. We cut the wire harness apart and ran new wires to the cam and crank sensors, still no luck. I had scope with me so I scoped the sensors out and the cam sen was no putting out a signal. I looked at the reluctor wheel and it looked to be OK the best I could tell looking threw the little hole. We put some grease on the end of the cam sensor and it didn't hit the reluctor wheel. Some how the tooth on the wheel had gotten bent back into the cam gear. We didn't want to break the tooth off so instead of bending the tooth we sanded the sensor base down so it would sit deeper into the hole. We cranked it over and it fired right up. We thought all was good but now I didn't have a tach signal. The trans will not shift without a tach signal so I was going to have to manually shift it with no tach or shift light. After pulling all the wiring apart again we found if you held the c1 plug on the ecm to the side the tach would work. We took some pull ties and used them to pull the plug sideways and the tach worked. At this point it was about 2am Saturday morning. We drove right down the street to our hotel and check in. We to up to our room and there are already people sleeping in the room. Go to the front desk and she says sorry we sold your room because we didn't think you were coming. We are all sold out and have no more rooms left, but our other hotel 30 miles down the road has rooms left. We get to that hotel and sleep for about an hour and get back to the track because I had a photo shoot at 8am. I go to start the truck and #7 inj is dead. We ohm it out at the ficm and it was good. So once again we start playing with the plugs and found are problem. At that point it was time for qualifying. The rest of the day could have not gone better.

Thanks to my dad for being by my side no matter what.
Thanks to Danville Performance for all the help along the way. Mark next day me a ECM with all my tuning already loaded onto it so I could rule that out of my problems. I call Mark and Matt (Danville's eng builder) at all times of the night and morning and they always answer and do everything they can to help.
HSP Diesel for fab work that I have never seen anyone come close too. Joe and Dave are great guys to work with. They listened to what I wanted with the kit and came up with thing I would have never thought to do and molded pipes together to give me the most room possible. After everything was all installed on the truck I realized I needed wastegates. Joe came in and worked all weekend fabing up wastegates so I could make it to the race.

Wagler Competition. Jeremy's heads are fairly new a d it the beginning we had some issues mostly with the copper head gasket we were trying to use. I went threw 3 sets of copper gaskets and after one pass the motor would pressurize the coolant system. Instead of giving up I would add more water and make another pass. Well I got the heads so hot it worped them and melted valves. Jeremy worked over night a couple times to get me new heads or fix my heads. We finally just went back to the grade c gasket and it with Jeremy's new heads have been working great.
Bullseye Power for the great turbo's. I have not got the pleasure to personally meet David or any of the guys from Bullseye but if Mark thinks so highly of there turbo's and support then I'm on board with using them.
BTS unfortunately I am no longer using the 4r100 transmission. But I still think very highly of Brian and his transmissions. I just could not get a converter to live.

Sorry so long guys but I'm in the car on the way home and have nothing better to do.

Thanks again guys and wish us luck at Rudy's.
 
Im so happy for you, Brett. You're good people and deserve all the recognition you're getting for your hard work and dedication. ;)
 
Good luck Brett, man you earned every bit of the win and championship. Chasing those electrical problems can be a nightmare. What tranny are you running now?
 
Thanks!!
I'm running a Rossler turbo 400 lockup without overdrive.
