Nice meeting you again Dave! Seems like everyone has matching white GMC's now LOL.
I had a blast. I was on the verge of packing everything up Friday night. We had 2 trailer tires take a crap, decided to get all 4 new tires halfway to ABQ, 118* temps messing with James' AC and coolant/oil temps, and among other things, my fuel limiters messing with the truck. Didn't give up and Kory helped figure out the problem and we went from 14.3 to 12.77 in one night and 5 passes.
I got booted the first round of 12.50 index because I raced Garrett's 75/106mm LB7 and lost by a mile :roflmao:
Ran test and tune for the rest of the night and it kept getting .2-.3 faster with zero tuning changes.
I also made a huge mistake and put a 1.10 AR on the 75mm when I put the engine back in.

Great to meet you too Blake! Good times out there for sure! I think I had more fun at the challenge of getting Brian's truck running right than I would have racing. Have 30 min to make changes and throw him back up in line makes for some fun in the pits
Can I be part of the cummins smoke club?
DA was 9218 when we got to the track... yay for turbo lag

I do Brian. Garett already text me about getting the video up. I will try and get Garett's up as well as Blake Vs Ben (Dmaxmafia) 12:5 final run
We had a great time last night!
I'd like to thank Damian and his family for the awesome hospitality at the bbq! You made us all feel welcome at your home and at the track.
I have videos of Myself, Brian, Garrett, and Blake as soon as I figure out how to get them off of an i phone and onto the forum.
I do have a few pics of the crew in front of the nasty dust storm.
A few more at the line.

I met up with Sean this morning. I had his spare tire and tools in my truck.
I did win some cash for being runner up in the 12.5 class.
Ben it was great having you and the rest! Next year we will try and plan a bigger party so we can all hang out more and get to know eachother. I appreciated my folks letting me use their house because my house is smaller and doesn't have near as much of a yard. That dust storm sucked lol. Was relieved the weather turned out perfect in time for the races to start:thumb: I hope you will bring the crew next year and I promise to race with you guys next time!
Had a great time out there! Thanks for the BBQ on Saturday Damian, had a good time hanging out and talking diesels. Good pics of the trucks at the house too. Tell your parents thanks for letting us take over their yard (and driveway).
I had the external mic located right under Brians intake filter, way whistly lol. Need to get another one now and place it right by the exhaust for that sweet sexy Duramax exhaust sound.

Lol, Brian asked me like 3 times the night of for the video. Again the next morning and called me as we were getting home to ask for it again. I almost wanted to tell him I accidentally deleted it already... hahaha

My folks don't know jack about diesels but they had fun too. Next year ill send em out of town and well REALLY take over haha. Was great to meet you. Your truck is well modded I should have gotten pics under your hood. I guess we found the humble one of the bunch. Tell your buddy John Sara from Dmaxforum to come race with us next year
He just wants to watch himself on YouTube while prancing around in whitey tighties listening to Kesha.:roflmao: JK BRI Bri:hug:
Sad part is your probably not far off. I'm pretty sure he told me like 10 times about how he loved that damn go pro video.
Next time I'm bringing swim trunks, that water looked way too inviting lol
It's always the quite ones you gotta worry about
lol. Well till the truck starts whistling like a mo foYeah I agree, he probably made himself a large cosmopolitan and watched it all night after i sent him the link lol.

Speaking of, how'd it sound when I passed you guys getting off the freeway that night? Lol

Funny you say that....my folks were like "how come your friends aren't swimming" lmao. I forgot to tell everyone to bring pool gear to be honest.
And also.... I didn't know if 20 guys swimming together was a little gay or not lol.
Here's a few more pics from yesterday...I will do my best to get videos up here today or tomorrow.
