Not sure?? His exhaust was in pieces when he got to the end of the track, Elite claimed the only damage was a blown up turbo. Thats just info i heard from others...

OT- But how did the TS truck run with the new Danco trans? Looks like that pass it had problems?

I seen its posted on the powerstroke forum, but nobody will do anything but talk smack, they don't seem to know what happend yet. Maybe they're mad the dmax crowd found out before they did lol. I just want some pictures of whatever it was that broke :D

Wholly CRAP! Damn! That was nasty!

As loud as it was at the camera, I woulda needed a new change of shorts! And pants and truck seat:spit:

You can see it pop out the stack and then when it blew the exhaust and flashed under it!

I dont think exhaust crossbolts would do any good in a scenario like that :eek:

The bang on the Elite truck was infact from nitrous. Heard he had FOUR stages......

The TS dodge ran good. I saw him run a 10.0 but looked like he was struggling all day with trans.

wowsers!

that wasn't even close to full potential of the TS truck. didn't know he did a new trans, last time i saw it they were battling some boost issues and it still ran a low 10.

It still ran good! Cmae out of the hole kind of soft but once it hit second it was gone. He made a 10.0 pass at 5,600ft this past weekend.

Looked like that Ford couldn't get his turbo/s? to light. Other truck just kind of dogged down the track the entire way, getting on and off the throttle. Hardly any people in the stands at all, I thought this was supposed to be a big event?

?? There were a crap load of people there! The stands on the other side were directly in the sun so not to many people were over there. Lots of people walking around vendor row, watching the rock crawling and other events going on at the same time too....

None of Elites trucks ran very good IMO. Not sure why everyone takes their Furd to them :confused: I saw a turbo wheel come out the stack so I'm guesing the turbo went even if N20 was the cause of it.

I thought it was kinda a poor turnout for the event when compared to past years. I've only been one year before but I thought it's be packed and it wasn't. I never saw any well known D-Max's there. The TS truck and the Scheid truck {I think} had more potential for sure.
