great meeting you Dudgy, and glad we both could make it to the finals in super diesel. was CRAZY seeing your truck runaway right in front of us tho! hey at least you have a new name for your truck
and for both of our R/Ts you cutting a .013 to my .010 on the .4 pro tree!!
Ya was great meeting you and racing with you. Love your truck! Would've been a close race, wish I would've made it to the traps.

Hahaha it scared the crap out of me at first. Wasn't sure what was going on but as soon as I was out and lookin at it I knew lol. Then the guy was spraying into the wheelwells with the firehose. Showed him where to spray, straight onto the air filter. It worked he had it almost killed and then he went to spray the grille wtf!!! And it started revving up again lol. But they killed it little later. We'll see how much oil is left in the pan tomorrow
haha i know, he started to spray your exhaust
i was like wtf! BTW i like the name in the sig :thumb:
again great meeting you and hope we get to ran again!! your truck flat out amazed me :woott:
Thanks Ken!! This was my best raceday ever. I have never cut that many good lights in one day. And then to make it to both finals first time ever trying nitrous. I think I got the tree figured out lol can't wait for Edmonton. Hopefully have it running again and try it all over again hahaha. I was so stoked when I saw my light blink after racing you, and then when I got the slip I couldn't believe my RT and the 11.71@114. I was a little shocked
Sorry to hear, but it was bound to happen. Welcome to the club.
You didnt add windows and a screen door to the block when it ran away, did you?
NICE r/ts. Its not easy tree'ing Verlon and Ken.
No, it didn't run that fast, must have been the heavy engine oil, didn't sound over reved at all. He had the air filter on it and they sprayed water on that to kill it. Hopefully it didn't suck much into the engine. Sure put up one hell of a cloud of smoke.
Rony said he was going to pull the heads and check it out. Hopefully put another turbo on it and run it. Hard to say at this point how much damage was done. The mistake was trying to drive it back to the pits after the turbo blew. Anyone ever see a dmax or any common rail run away before?Ya it ran very smooth and not very high rpm. 5W-40 Amsoil. There's a lot of that fire extinguisher crap in my boost tubes and on my nitrous jets. I think lots of it went thru the engine. Ya it was a stupid idea to try to drive it back but i first thought i blew a boot, there was no smoke and no noises, ran good so i decided to drive it onto the return lane, bad idea, oh well lesson learned, if it ever happens again, shut er off and tow it back to the pits lol :thumb: I learned a lot on saturday. Just adds experience
I didn't see either, but I have heard of a couple. The guy that owned that black lowered LMM dually had one run away. He bought a rolled over LBZ that had, unbeknownst to him, filled the CAC with oil. When he started it, it ran away and scattered the top end.
We also had a customer at work that ran out of diesel in his LB7. He called us asking how to get it started. We told him to prime the filter, and it should fire right up. Unfortunately, his primer pump was not working, so he got the bright idea to remove the air filter and pour diesel directly into the turbo. I'm sure you can imagine what happened next. He had the same results as the previous. He ended up breaking some bridges and bending push rods.
Fixed it for ya! You didn't know you needed one of these...... I might have to make one for myself.

Yep air shutoff is going in, especially cuz i put another stock turbo back on and not taking off the bottles lol :happy2:
Might be a little overkill, but plumbing a shut off before the y bridge would be the safest place
