Matt Kauffmans mega cab is in for voting and it'd be nice to know if it's gonna be in thin air or in Bowling Green.

Theres a local MN guy in the mix too
i am gonna try for next year and be the first 2wd truck
only rule exception i want is a tire change for the either the drag race or sled pulling, i wouldn't even complain about pulling with the sled set up for 4wd's
i do think they need to have the trucks driven to the event and not trailered, the MPG test is great but it needs to be about twice as long
i think a diesel drag week kinda thing would also be awesome, see just how many trucks can handle a week of beating on them everyday
I also think that the trucks need to be driven not towed to the competition.

So you like the idea of driving a 1000+hp truck to a an event that half the events aren't in any other competition (Lots of strain on the trucks) and be 20+hrs away from from? Makes perfect sense. I mean I'm pretty sure I saw John Force drive his funny car into a race one time... :nail:

Do they also hook up to a sled? What about drag race with twice their weight behind them? Since when did this become the Diesel Power Daily Driver Challenge?driving a 1000+HP truck on the street isnt that bad, unless its a 12V and then its just more tuning for driveablilty. we did 1300 miles this summer in our caged duramax and got around 15mpg with a 14gal fuel cell. drove just fine
last i checked John Force didn't have licence plates on it either.
so your saying the low 8sec (couple high 7's) passes and 1400 miles the gassers did in street legal vehicles is worse than the DPC for diesel trucks? op:
being that its only drag racing, many weekend warriors would show up just to watch and/or run with some of the faster trucks. many of the cars are purpose built for "drag week" same as for the DPC.

I have thought about this a lot.
I would do a 2wd crew cab long bed Ford or Chevy with a Cummins, a Road ranger double OD trans .62 final gear, F106 with a 6.20 ring gear, and 445/50R22.5 Super singles in the back. Same gearing as the NV4500, 4.10s, and 33" tires.
Now you have many gears to to choose from when pulling. And cheaper dual disk options... If a crazy Canuck can click off 12's in a semi with a couple gear changes, then so should a Cummins pickup.
