Team Thailand at the NHRDA World Finals

They said 1200-1250kg, which would be about 2650-2750. There's a lot of tubing on that thing.

Damn, using a calculator and their 8.22 pass they are "theoretically" making more hp per ci than 1500hp on a 5.9

I think that's only accurate to 11sec trucks? At least what I remember anyways. They make more power than the calc says.

They also said something blocked the nitrous nozzle part way down the track.


These guys are incredibly smart when it comes to running this truck. I has truly been an honor to help and watch them work.

Impressive crew. Congrats.

Wonder what it would cost to have them bring me an engine next time they come over here...

You can buy them here, the Isuzu NPR delivery trucks use the same engine. 4JJ1 is the model. :rockwoot:

Are they done making passes? No chance of another?

We should be making the first pass of the day tomorrow, they will be going all out to go as fast as possible

Had no idea, that was the power plant. Driving the NPR would be much more tolerable with the kind of power there making.

Had a chance to hang around all these guys we couldn't say **** to each other but it was way cool to meet them and point at ****. Very nice guys.

From them... Our truck sound like rat your truck sound like cat.

though this was the new I4 2.5L dmax ? it sounded like it had a 5 speed transmission.

there it is .. second video wasn't working for me

 

[TheSmokinStroke]

Very cool to see these guys come all that way. Very good show of talent on their part too to be able to build a truck that fast and for it to perform that well.

Yup, somebody didn't have an NHRDA race in Thailand.

Well we all know now what happened, grudge race didn't happen mainly due to the bad weather and the postponing of the eliminations till today. The little Thai truck ran great considering the limited time frame and number of passes it ran. It was hoping for a 7 second pass this morning but could only make 8.50. What was really cool was to see all the people from Thailand on the Motormania feed over 15,000 at one point. Too bad it had to rain yesterday, spoiled what was a very good event. As usual many of the trucks broke.

It's probably a good thing they didn't have a heads up race. I heard they aren't used to racing each other over there. More just racing the clock and reaction times don't matter. Maybe they can start doing some racing like that over there and be ready next year!

 

[SHughes]

Would sure like to see Pliska make a pass in it.

Only thing Michael could do gooder would be cutting a light
