A lot!! I'm impressed, didn't think the turnout would be like this.
Not many fast trucks though, lots of farm boys blowing smoke running 15's

There are 11 sec trucks here and I'm sure 1 or 2 9's going to be out soon. Someone's dragster is here but I haven't seen it to tell whose
Yea that was me. Margin of victory .0032 AKA a bumper! I treed him but my truck didn't do it's job. Ran the slowest of the day 13.68. I was pissed! It's worse losing by a bumper than by a mile to me. But the guy was really cool and we had a blast! The guy who won is a buddy of mine and the guy who got third is also a friend who I work with. I let Austin (the winner) use my cordless impact and showed Jake (third place) how to set his truck up for the track. So I'm proud to say I had a hand in the winnings! Lol Derek's racing team did good.
I should have some video soon. You guys better look out at Ennis and Denton!
I'm still shocked at the turnout!
The boys running the dyno were a bit confused with the diesels, they were playing with % grade to simulate load and had some of the trucks only revving to 2500 rpms. Numbers were low HP and high torque.

Why didn't you run? I was looking for you. I wanted to see that twin turbo LMM run.
I had just got back in early that morning driving straight through from Colorado. I was still loaded with 40+ gallons of diesel, tools, parts, etc from the trip. Not quite prepared, so I just watched! Really didn't expect to be back in time to go at all.
A lot of trucks! I would say more than Denton. Fastest I saw was 11.07. That same flat black 4x4 dodge that is always in Ennis and Denton.
Dang! That's pretty good for there first annual diesel race. The extend cab dodge right? If so I think he is from San Antonio I talked to him at ennis. I don't think my truck will be ready for any races this year from the way the machine shop is looking, but that's okay gives me more time to build the twin kit how I want.
Yea the extended cab. That truck flies! Hope you can get everything together by Denton. I would like to see that thing run!
I'm gonna ship you a box of stinky warm brown goodness!!! Lol
That black truck that ran the 11.07 is the same flat black ext cab short bed 12v that has done well at Ennis every time I've seen him. Solid, smooth running truck with a consistent driver.
