I'm currently working on details with the track manager to actually hold a Diesel ET class that day, since it will be a regular race day. The dragster will be making exhabition passes through out the day, and available for pictures, and or questions if you have any!

I'll keep this thread up to date once I get more information about the Diesel ET class.

Hope to see everyone out there!!

I'm waiting for a call from him...hopefully it was this past weekend. Either way, his quickest pass was 8.10 at TS, and he's certain there is 7 seconds in there...once he turns it up...:evil
 
Is this a day race? I didnt see it on their site.
I have a wedding that late eve i can be late for.
 
Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh claiming sevens when it's only gone 8.10 blah blah blah de blah! Good luck bud and be safe!
 
First off, let me say sorry for not keeping up on this thread...got pretty busy at work, and home. Anyways...I did speak with the track manager, and there will be a ALL Diesel ET class that day!! Depending on how many trucks register to race, will reflect the payout. TRP will use their payment structure for the class.

Well the gates open at 11am, and the actual racing doesn't start until 4pm. The dragster will make passes through out the day...so come on out before you hit the wedding.

I know that's my bad Cliff. Although I haven't talked to Jeff yet today, but he told me last week he was hitting his local tracks weekend event this past Saturday. He got his data logger, and was excited to see what the issue was.

I'll post up the event flier when I'm finished with it...should be later tonight...I'm going to the track this Wednesday to post them up, and hand some out. The track has about 14-15 diesel trucks that come out on a regular basis on Wednesday's, and I was told the quickest one out there is like 13-14 seconds...

If you can make it on out, come out and have fun running the All Diesel Bracket class! And meet Jeff Dean, and check out his awesome dragster.

I also have a sponsor for the quickest RT: TI Dyno has donated to the person who has the quickest RT from the day will get $50 cash, and a 2 hour dyno voucher!!

I'm still lookin for sponsors for the "Quickest ET", "Fastest MPH", and "Best Package"! I'll keep the threads up to date with info as I get them.

Hope to see you guys out there!!
 
I think what Josh is saying is that everyone can stay at his house.
 
Rained Out

Well it got REAL damp there at Thompson this past Saturday. The good news is...they track will allow the all diesel bracket class back at another Saturday event, and if Jeff is able, he is free to come back as well, and make some more exhibition passes too!

Jeff only got 2 passes in this past Saturday...1 @ 1/4mile, and due to high cross winds...the track changed to 1/8 mile passes. Here is his 1/4mile pass, you can see the dragster get a little loose on him, so he lifted. He did put down a 5.00 @ 1/8...so he was moving pretty good before he had to let up.

Once I get the rain date set, I'll let everyone know...
 
Rain check day set!!

Well folks...it looks like September 22nd will be the make up day for the rained out event! Jeff emailed me this morning, and said he is good to go for that weekend, and so, he will return to Thompson with the dragster. If you missed it the first time...now's your chance to come out and meet Jeff, and see the dragster make some passes!!
 
Jeff ran a 7.96 @ the trails on sunday.
