At least Casper looked Mean.

Even though the fuel issue forced Pat to shut him down early

Yes, Big Block I even put a pic of me in there :rofl:

Big thanks to Johnny, Robert (& Jenn), Jeremy, Jason, & Scott I'm so bad with names Especially with 5 hours of sleep. We couldn't of done it without you guys.


The last 2 pic's is why I worry so much before Pat runs. There was a lose spot in the dirt and the bike lost it and went end over end. His helmet was cracked like an egg and the rider was life flighted out He was doing OK so we have been told.

Caspers does look mean. He may be just havin some growing pains right now. It's just a matter of time before all those new parts start workin together. Keep up the good work guys it will pay off.

Man Kat for someone who was just about yelling at me throught the Computer one day when I asked for a group pick. You sure seem to be a bit photogenic <(sp)

 

[Kat]

Well the good news was he did have traction prior to shutting him down. So the stuff they worked on did work

Whats the story behind the itty-bitty front tires?

Pat needs a Hawaiian-print firesuit to make his "look" complete. :rofl:

To get the truck on the ground and still rated for the MPH he wants to run. The frame is 3 inches off the ground.

Big Single for now. There was fuel leak in the valley, not sure of the exact source yet. Pat smelled fuel and shut him down.

 

[durallymax]

^^I know that smell, same thing happened to me friday night at the pull, i was big cloud of smoke at the end of my hook.

You wouldn't know it by looking at an after picture :baby:

Glad everything is in one piece still, Casper and Pat! A fuel leak is an easy fix, the question is..... how'd it feel before he shut down and what MPH did he shut down? Was he close to having it opened up?

Copied his post from the original thread

Truck had great traction, and handled like it was on rails. At the last event, it was an "E Ticket Ride", and I nearly spun the truck, so our attention was focused on making the truck more stable. But at roughly 150mph, the engine lost power, I popped it in neutral, the engine shut itself off, I smelled fuel, so I popped the chute just in case of fire. It went through the lights with engine off and chute open at 122.

The CP3 in the valley was spraying fuel out, and it wasn't from a hose or connection. We did not have the tools or time to pull it out there, so we called it a day. Autopsy tomorrow.

Big thanks out to:

Wish it would have have turned out better, but it was a good time, with good friends, and that's what is important to me.

Last but not least,
Kat, Tom, and Allison :hug:
For putting up with me.

I thought Pat was going to do some more research on that, as the lower you set the truck, the less downforce you actually got?

 

[lotsofmiles]

have to agree, truck and crew looking good!

darn pat you finally got rid of the onstar and xm antennas! I kinda liked them up there because how often do you see a fully loaded dmax going 170mph.

 

[whitetrash21]

Nice. Truck does look mean. So does Johnny.... Is that Fu Manchu I'm seeing there?!?! :rofl:
