How many of you guys are still running your stock frame rails under the driver and passenger seats of you vehicles?
 
Ok I guess I need to explain a little more, or should I say ask a better question.

How many of you guys that are 4500lbs and under, would like the chance to run Heads up 1/8th mile and for at the very least a $1,000 purse?

The only rules would be:

- Stock Frame rails under the drivers compartment
- must run on diesel


Dr. Performance is looking at putting a new class in our "Diesel Play Day" called Pro Extreme Street,this is an idea that has been thrown around the shop for a while. We are wanting to create a race where "the guy that just doesn't fit" can come to a few times a year and not have to worry about what class he fits in.

In short.......... You guys want a place to race and we want to give it to Ya'll

:rockwoot:

Can you spray N2O also?

Yes, Nitrous, Propane, Water/Meth, heck even a combination of all 3 if you are feeling froggy.

In all seriousness we will not be limiting power adder/s, tire size, suspension, tranny type in this class.

I doubt I'll have funds to make a Texas race this year, but I think it would be fun! The less rules, the better!

Oh yeah, thanks to a dedicated crew that doesn't sleep nights, I have one of them 'hood' thingies AND I'M MEAN ENOUGH TO RUB IT IN!! LOL

Now thats a hood, for sure. Have you had any track time yet Brandon? I hope you took my comment the right way about those rear tires, you never commented back, It would be super cool if you could make it work but I dont see it ever happening through the road Ive be down. I was just saying to be careful tuning it in, look for tire spin at ever gear change. Im running crazy pinion angles all the trick suspension set ups and a big tire and still have issues once in a while, nature of the beast I suppose. Again great looking truck.

Well this is just a feeler to see who all would be interested. If we get enough interests this might be a once or maybe twice a year thing.


..... oh and YES I did quote the picture for the reasons yall are thinking, hood ornaments like that should be admired in more than one post.....:evil

I saw the post and wasn't sure what to say. It won't be up to speed for awhile, I'm getting some seat time in it right now to get a feel for how it handles. The only time it's lost traction unintentionally is down shifting with the manual VB. It stays straight and planted on all shifts at full power, even on surface streets.

I'm getting a new converter again the first of next week, my combination didn't work for the second try either. It's gonna be a long trial & error.

When your acually not running through them its a diff. world. My first dozen convertors were a flop so dont feel bad, you'll fiqure out what your combo wants in time.
 
I need to go on about a 700+ lb diet!
Still not sure if I could compete with you guys. Would be fun though.
