Whats up doc! What a fricken dweeb. Reminds off the dude jumping his truck . Are you OK Kyle? :roflmao:
I do know if my truck was on fire I'd be running around like a chicken with his head cut off trying to put it out. I did have a diesel shop pm me today and say they sold a built motor to a new customer who had planned on buying it from Kyle before he read the thread. That makes me extra happy.
You would think so wouldn't ya. Even IF they had rules about not exiting the truck a fire is a fire. But look at him he looks like a deer in the headlights.
Track official: Can you tell us what happened?
Kyle: Um NO. I'm still waiting for the red flag to wave. Now FU and peace out. :roflmao:
It takes me about 20+ seconds to get out of Casper when I'm strapped in. Shut down, release 5-pt, remove wrist straps, release door net, open door, crawl out.
When I thought I was on fire (engine grenaded, smoke filled cab), I found the time required is MUCH shorter.

X2 on the above :thumb: I learned that the hard way but thankfully I had a (Working) fire extinguisher in the truck and did not sit there like a jack a$$ waiting for someone else to put it out
Im by no means sticking up for Kyle for what he did, that is bullshit, and im sure it would work out for the better for Dave cause that truck would only be good for a 3.0 or unlimited single class with a stock drivetrain rule and the stock transfer case back in it... i believe the rear end is strong enough to handle with the upgrades available, but thats no odl truck.. With that being said, if someone came up to me with a camera after my truck had caught fire at a national event to make fun of me, i would probably say the same thing! My truck has caught fire many of times, and i never ran away crying... it happens, especially in sled pulling. Im not saying Kyle is a good guy, or he runs a good business, but i would hardly call him an idiot when it comes to the duramax... he has gave me a lot of good info, and he was pulling at a 3.0/pro street level when most were just trying to figure out how to mount aftermarket chargers... Im pretty sure he was the first to run 2 cp3s long before ppe and ATS came out with the kit. Now Dave, im not sticking up for kyle or trying to ruin your thread, what he did to you is bs, and it needed to be heard... but like i said, you were better off.
General rule of thumb for all internal combustion automotive devices, especially competition vehicles:
When you are on fire, or see people with fire extinguishers running up to you, get the fk out of the vehicle. Staring blindly off into space just makes more work for the emergency crew.

I think most people agree with you on Kyle knowing his stuff, the problem is when you run a business you should follow a code of ethics. I did not take any offence to your post. It takes alot of time to earn respect and a very short time to loose it.
What goes around comes around. Word of mouth is worth its weight in gold.
