LMM: Duramax at Kennedale today

[3 1/2 tons of fun]

Greetings! I'm new here, long time performancetrucks.net member. How do I upload the slip? Ran a [email protected] 1/8 th mi. Bone stock 09 ECSB 2wd + PPE 160 tune. Couldn't leave hard at all but still liked the result. I believe it's got an 8.90 in it. I figured someone may benefit from the info.

Thanks! Yeah I was on the 245/16s so 2.18 was all I could get out of it. Love your setup.

I like redline,but I'm 10 min from that track,plus redline is sticky. Slicks and wheel new will be a grand,you can do some m and h 275 55 16 radials on factory 16 inch wheels for 255 a tire. That's what I ran until the other day when I bought my slicks. Good luck

Nice. We need to get together sometime and go to kennadale. I've been to that track about 8 times but mainly go to Denton.

Is Redline in Denton? Yeah I'm 10 min from Kennedale lol. Thanks for the DR tip. Probably look for some used ones. I'm an A/C contractor and money is in short supply until April.

Sounds good. My nephew goes most Sundays.

I'm gonna try to go before march 9th which is the Texas diesel nationals in Denton. And Denton isn't redline, it's North Star dragway. Where is redline anyways? 1/8th mile?

 

[matt78]

Redline is on I-30 east of rockwall past roysecity a mile or two,tech caddo mills. Yes it is 1/8 mile.

Sweet man, I'm in Fort Worth at 30 and Hulen. We all need to get together some time. There's a big race, sled pull and dyno event in Denton on March 9. I'm getting a group together to convoy up there if you guys want to join up.

Already had planned on going to Denton. Lol go every year to race.

I have been doing a bit of work to the south on 205. Maybe I should check it out. And Denton sounds like fun. I could learn a lot!

Yeah, I knew you were going. I was mostly talking to the other two guys. As soon as I figure out where we are all going to meet, quinton, I will post it in the thread in the Texas section. Hopefully we can get a pretty big group together and maybe get some pictures.

I've been to most of the tracks in the DFW area. I haven't been to Kennedale for a few years, but it is a decent little 1/8 mile track. I've been to North Star in Denton quite a few times since they have the NADM/ODRA races there now. I also go to Dallas Raceway quite a bit since they're the closest track to me, and it's a 1/4 mile track. The Motorplex is always good, but I usually only go out there for the NHRDA races. I've been to Redline a few times as well, and like Matt said, they usually have it prepped pretty well. I'm hoping to do more actual racing this year than I did last. I mostly did test and tune last year, but I may see about racing with some gassers somewhere this year in one of their classes. I'm also looking forward to the points races North Star will be having for the diesels this year. They were supposed to do it last year, but it never really worked out. Maybe if they can get more attendance this year...

Ill be going to Denton as much as possible this year.

Were you there any last year? If so, did we meet? I think I made just about every diesel race they had.

Yes I was in oct. No we didn't meet but I watched you run in your van and saw you bust your rear end. Talked to your dad for a minute along with the guy that owned the riviera. (don't remember his name but I'm sure you know em) I ran in the bracket class. I'm pretty sure that's right? Lol might be talking about someone else. I think I was the only duramax in bracket class other than the red single cab that busted his tie rod, which I don't even think he got to race. Think it happened during qualifying rounds. I'd like to put on some stockers and see if I can run in the 7.70 class with a little nitrous. Idk though.
