That shit was horrible. we got hung up in the parking lot, the last truck didn't pull till 5am and Dennis said he wrote the last check at 6am. that was a long ass night. Any way,, we'll be there hopefully with two trucks.

Should be getting Ed's old nozzles soon once I get my return :hug: need to find an lbz pump too. I got a small nitrous kit for cheap but idk when it's going on...mainly just for messing around at edgewater unless I'm at a pull where they let that punk with the cclb commonrail that sprays pull workstock...:rolleyes:

The main thing I need to do is get a DD though

Hell yeah, I think i'm going to take a little trip to see Brayden when it gets a little warmer out and have him work on my big tune....only time i use it is pulling so might as well go for broke!

you know some guy up there who has a red slightly lifted d-max, chrome wheels, stacks and pulls some? He comes this way every now and then talks how bad his truck is on a stock trans no lift pump, drives it to all the pulls. wins and never breaks?? I've seen him at TS and local pulls here but never saw him pull,,,,,, till late last year lol.

Lol, sounds about right....I did 473 on Dunbar's and both times i've pulled against him i beat him. Once by like 30 feet and the other time by like a foot.:thumb: When I beat him by a foot he wasn't real happy, it was for 3rd and I went home with a pocket full of cash.:woott:

It was -9 here this morning according to the truck. But it went up to -8 when I snapped the picture on my iphone. This was at 8am mind you.

For the guy's with aftermarket intake manifolds,

What are you using for the high pressure fuel lines? Is there a good aftermarket source for un-bent lines in various lengths or anything? Or is everyone just re-bending some of there stock lines?

Nothing real fantastic around me anyways, but it all depends on the turnout....one of the fair pulls workstock 1st place was like 300 bucks or something, that pull is when i got 3rd and got 120 bucks or something like that....not to bad for going out not looking to do any good and come home with money! I only hit the fair pulls, nothing major.....

We have one at Lanesville IN that pulls 2.6 and open that paid $500 to win both nights and this year I'm hoping to round up a couple more sponsors, add a class and bump pay up to $750-$1000 to win. Its the second weekend of Sept. Always a good turnout for it. And we have a fair pull thats just 8000 open and pays $500 to win with a good track and crowd. Gonna try to get two classes at least there this year too and get the pay upped. Its the last weekend in July or the first weekend of aug every year. They're are others around but these two I sponsor and pay the best of our little local pulls. Like i said though good turnout. JT comes, Matt Sparkman, some other strong IN trucks I can't think of right now, some boys from BOB show up and some strong local trucks. both are a good time but Lanesville is more fun I think. Track is a little short (280') there too. Both have great dirt and Lanesville is done by the local track builder, Fast track, which is owned by a tractor puller Dan Christiani.

That is what has held up my intake. I have several sets of factory lines and was going to try to concoct something for my new intake but have put it on the back burner. The LB7 junction block was my biggest hangup.

I know Rob and Tim have made some changes to work with the Banks setup so maybe he can post some info.

x2 its always a good turnout. I've heard rumors that Tampico is going up the payout quite a bit this year and are goign to allow hoodstacks and hanging weight
