Dmitri goes 9.50@143 Fuel Only

Just got off the phone with Dmitri, he ran a 9.50@143 blowing an intercooler boot at the 1000' mark. Bottle was not turned on Fuel only. Truck usually goes 150 in the quarter, so it should be excited to see what it does when the boot holds together. He blew boots on 5 of 7 passes.

60' 1.50
330' 4.050
660' 6.141
MPH: 118.15
1000' 7.938
1320' 9.50
MPH: 143.34

Looks like a nitrous back half to me the mamba ran a 9.15 on a 1.36 60 and 5.83 1/8th and the mph was 146 just saying

Went to Muncie myself not allot of trucks there but some were flying for sure.Congrats to Dimitri and H&S on there passes.

Wade was there as well forgot what the fastest pass was for him,sounded like he had some tire shake on some passes.
 
A lot of people (including me) like to give Dmitri crap about spraying nitrous, but in all reality I believe he's just spraying his low pressure kit, a small stage, or none at all. I was at the dyno day at Drake's where Ron Allen made 1218rwhp, and Dmitri must have spent like 4-5 dyno runs tinkering with EFILive trying to beat him. In the end, he "only" made 1134rwhp on fuel. Since he made 1633 on nitrous (these are uncorrected numbers) one could assume if he wanted to cheat he could have just sprayed a tiny amount, enough to beat Ron. After all, who wants to get beat by an old Dinosaur engine? ;)

Here's the pass where he was spraying the snot out of his red truck, and ran a 9.99 with it. Pretty much looks like the Banks truck....

Here's a shot of his 149mph pass at TS....pretty good haze, especially on the top end:

As for why the truck backhalfs so hard, it looks to me in the second video that the large charger doesn't really light until second gear. He went pretty big on turbos and pretty tight on the stall, so I think with most tracks he can't leave with everything on full kill or else it will break the tires loose.

Just my $.02
 
Great job Demitri! Raced two trucks and has no help! That guy works hard.

He was in my trailer so much during the day, i almost gave him a crew shirt to wear....:lolly:

Muncie was fun with several very fast trucks there. Weather was great too. low 80's IIRC. Lots of realy nice folks out there, it was nice to meet everyone.

What?

Im allways on nitrous, no question there.

BTW demitri's third pass ran a 1.50 60' 3.92 330' on fuel.....aborted early cause he blew a boot.

Where were you?
 
Damn I thought is was nice and peaceful this weekend with Wade gone away at the track having tire shake with his 5000hp single CP3
 
Ugh....can we not have another Wade thread?

Congrats Brian Parker on the fast time as well. There, does that work?
 
Glad to hear Parker getting the truck lined out! I heard there was some extra power thats been hiding in the truck for some time now.
 
Congrats on the fast time. I really don't believe dimitri ran any fuel only passes though! He likes the sauce way to much!
 
we helped them with a couple extra cameras for the filming for that video, it was on youtube by sat morning lol

Demitri was hustling driving 2 trucks in 2 different class's and having to fix a different boot every round on the race truck
