ODRA/NADM Texas Diesel Roundup Oct 10

SO_ what's the parking area going to be like? There are a bunch of us in a group that want to come out but would prefer to crash there for the night (no drinking and driving you know). I want to bring my 5'er to make it nice and comfortable for the snoozing. Is there any problem with just bringing it in to the back of the parking area at this place or are they going to have a problem with it? Some places don't care and others have problems with overnighting in their parking lots after the event is over (that's why I am asking). I figure a lot of the racers and pullers will be staying over but may be in a different area than general parking and also want to know if there is a specific place to go if they want all the trailers in one place.
Thanks a lot for any straight answers...
 
Id call the track and ask if I were you; but the parking there for big meets or events is in a huge field off to the west side very simular to the parking at the Motorplex. Just hope for the grounds to be dry......

Any word on an open class at the end for sled pulling?

Three classes for sled pulling

Workstock - street
2.6
Super Street

No open class per say - teching and insurance restrictions keeps us from holding such a class.
 
Any word on the Payout for the pulling?

For you local guys there anything that us guys from a distance away can do for a few days to make a vacation out of it for the old lady's?

what are the rules to the super street? so with no open class your saying that even if your truck has the safety equipment for what the truck is, if it is not street legal you cannot compete?! i don't see the point in that b/c our guys trucks are nothing special. my brothers "sled truck" has a stock turbo on it with injectors and small chip, but isn't registered or inspected so he can't pull either? why not have say a "fun" class where there is no winnings to be had and the trucks still much have the safety equipment to match the truck, but let them run instead of maybe forcing an almost stock non street legal truck into super street or something... just saying i would try to fix up a class for it where it is still safe and anyone can go out and have fun
 
Link to the rules:National Association of Diesel Motorsports Click on large red button, left side of the page.

These are national rules, they are in place for a reason, one reason is so we don't have to negotiate rules at every event, in every state.

I will tell you, we wont be checking to see if the plates match the truck in Texas for this show.

What we will be checking are:

Exhaust UP
Crossbolts
U-joint shields
blankets
SFI clutch cards
SFI flex plate cards
Other safety where it applies, read the rules, make your truck comply.
 
I take it your work stock class is not really intended for stock or tune only type trucks?
 
NADM WS main rule is stock appearing turbo, no hanging weights.
Exhaust, intake, fuel type class.

Josh...unless I am missing something your dads dually should be good for the work stock class unless its different from Deleon...see the NADM rules posted on the runnadm.com site.

Your truck will need the shields, etc. just like it would need for the tttpa.

Unless I read the rules wrong, it looks like it would need cross bolts in the exhaust, u-joint shields, and exhaust pointing up. I hope none of that is needed because I'm sure either he or I would want to hook the truck to the sled, but I don't want to do all that to a truck that is primarily driven and used to tow/haul on the street.
 
Yes, we have spent the last several years writeing a rulebook, but don't enforce it????????

Work stock:Exhaust UP, NO hood stacks, if the cat and /or STOCK muffler have been removed, crossbolts MUST be installed.

Work Stock does not have U-joint shield requirements, 2.6 and up does.

I would suggest, to everyone, if you want to hook at an NADM event, quit complaining on the internet, and get to work making your truck safe to compete.

Safety is nation wide, it doesn't make it less dangerous because the truck is in Texas than Indiana.

cross bolts - $5.00 (Loews) and 15 min of time
*if your cat or stock muffler has been removed - work stock

Has not changed any performance on mine.

Silverline makes a turn up tip for most stock exhausts...on a local muffler shop could do it...
