No----BUT SHOULD HAVE!!!!!!!Sitting in cheap a$$ hotel at the Iowa/Nebraska line looking for the shortest way around Denver as the damn roads are closed and they are getting 24 to 36 inches of snow from now to 6 pm thursday night.Looks like it will cost me another 6 hours-------and the log book uuuggghhhh!
I have competed with some of the top trucks in the country (Bigfoot,Bounty hunter,Iron outlaw exc.)The rules do not allow it at alot of venues.The truck will pass tech,but they have no idea on how to tech a diesel engine.I have (along with N.A.D.M)sat through M.T.R.A. meetings and we have been put on a board with Dan Patrick to come up with a set of rules-----so it is coming.1300 hp. is enough but in the diesel world 1300 horse has alot of lag compared to 1800 horse on alcohol.So it is a learning curve.8.3 or 8.9 has alot more weight.This is a little off topic, but why don’t you compete with the truck? Or have you started by now? I saw the truck in Indy last year and you just ran an exhibition. My uncle runs Nitemare and War Wagon and for a few years now I have wanted to build and compete with a diesel monster truck. As far as I now the rules would allow it right?
Is it just not going to be reliable enough at the power required? I know most trucks are making 1800-2000hp but 1,300hp with diesel torque should be enough. Also those engines are all over 500 CI. So that means why not go with a 8.3 or 8.9 Cummins or similar engine?
Do you ever plan on competing?
detour because of snow-------400 extra miles
fuel bill from detour--------------------$350.

the look on a cabbies face when your ready to drag your trailer over his cab when your swinging wide to make a right turn on the "Vegas Strip" with a semi---------------F%&#$ing PRICELESS.
