Its back!!! And we'll be back, next year. Thunder in Muncie lives on!!
Thanks to Pure Diesel Power, the many other sponsors, the pullers, fans, The Lions Club, NADM staff, Jackson farms and about 100 other people and organizations that helped bring this show back.
Many ,many stories and Diesel nostalgia unfolded. Wade Wright, the 1st TiM Mod Champion was back, 10 years later in a Chevy, something unheard of in 2001.
Wayne Grier won in Resurrected Ram, which debuted at that pull as Van Haisleys Rock Hard Ram the year before the switch to Indy.
And something else happened, a rare occurrence- Garret Shields went down the track with authority in SS ,came up with a 3rd place finish, and the truck was in one piece at the end!! Nicest hook of the year.
I would like to apologize to the 3.0 class. I reset the sled too heavy-by 8 feet. 292 won the class. My goal for each class is the winner at 300, especially on a short run off area. I missed it.
