You weren't joking. That is one hell of a buck during the shift. LoL... I wasn't expecting that one!

i think it was cause the truck spun through 3 gears, if you listen close it hits the rev limiter in the top of 2 gear, those tires were not holding, its time for some man slicks :rofl::happy2:

Converter didn't lock is why you hit the rev limiter.

i found a video of the race with the dynomite truck and my self does some one know how to bring the actual video over too?? im internet stupid:D [YOUTUBE]0TOiwcmUS3E[/YOUTUBE]

That Dodge truck is actually from Red Deer. Donovan is the driver. He owns Armor Inc which is the name on the bottom of the door. Helluva nice guy!! Consistant low to mid 10's is what it runs and this is it's first year on the strip so he's new to this kind of racing as well. I believe he won prostreet in Sac but I could be wrong.

Either way glad to see you got the trophy Dimitri!!

That truck, (Armor Inc) was at Mission BC the week before and one run the track didn't catch that the truck that ran previous to Donvan had blown a freeze plug, (good old cummins) and oiled down the track with coolant, Donvan hit it at about the 900 foot mark and went sideways, almost went into the wall and managed to save it. Damn fine piece of driving that is for sure. That a good bunch of guys with the Armor Inc crew. That truck will be in the 9's once they get all the bugs worked out.

Congrats man, All I have to say is this guy is all over the place. I was just out at the local track (that was rained out once again) I have never seen 4 tires changed out so fast in my life, pretty impresses one man pit crew. :rofl:

Tried to get Dimitri out here last night for the party . Thought I had him on the road .

Talked to him this morning .....

Called him .... where we going for breakfast brother ? I'll meet you before the party ... where'd you end up making it to .

Not !! crashed out at home .... to many things to do being on the road so much lately . Some TLC for the trucks is in order .

I tried .... thought I had him . :D
