Well I live in Stanford, Ky and still pretty new to sled pulling. I want some predictions on whose going to come out on top in Workstock, Street, Prostreet and Modified in 2008. Lets hear who thinks will be the top dogs this year??

this year will be very interesting!

my vote goes to sleddy and his new toyota HD w/ the CR Perkins (1368 rwhp).

gonna clean up at the WS/ST/PS classes.

heck he may even be in the top five in mod class tooooooooo.

The Real question should be who is even going to be around in DHRA next year?

X2 Sure seems like you hear from alot of unhappy dhra pullers. Its gonna be to hard to tell at this point who is going to rise to the top. We know the dmax's will be on top but as to who....you never know. Alot of guys are doing engine builds this winter and making some tough pullers for each class. Just have to wait and see really :)

Well I personally wasn't talking about any particular pulling organization. I personally don't care what organization because I believe if you are a truck puller you will pull for the fun and sport of it. Thats why we pull. I believe in the mod class Erik Stacey is hard not to pick no matter what organization he's in. As far as the other classes I'm not sure. Tony Burkhard was strong in the Street class last year, will he be able to win it again at scheid's this coming year? I don't really care if its DHRA, FPP, Wide open pulling series. I just wanna know who you think will be on top.

O id say JNeal and the danville crew will be pretty tough in the workstock. Martin farms?? I think their called in the modified class with their reg cab dodge.

I wouldn't make any predictions as the price of fuel,associations being around,and burn out all may changes things as we know it in the sled pulling world.

I am sure that who ever is out running will give it there all and we can watch and enjoy!!!

Don't ask :D

Workstock should be dominated by the new Ford 6.4? twin charger truck if they can get the right tools.

haha i forgot bout your bro's truck. Mean machine!! Had the honor to meet him at the brazil pull! :) What about his gf's truck or wife to be or whatever she is lol. I think shes got one heck of a truck too dont she??

Yeah it will definantly be intersesting to see what they can do on the track, personally ive never seen one pull before.

I said that also McRat on a Ford forum yet to boot...what was I thinking. That dual turbo setup could work good till the newest duramax comes out.....from the picture I saw ......watch out.

Just figure out how to run the 6.4 with an LBZ computer and you've got one heck of a workstocker :D

Tony.. Jerrod.. I see you looking :D

That sounds nasty. Will this be in the street class? Or Pro-street?

I hear wesley kuntzlic is building a duramax mod truck. Im sure he will be up top somewhere.
I seen where Kent Crowder has been working on their 2006 black 3500 dodge cummins. The motor and trans has been out of it since Oct. All the seats have been removed other than the drivers seat. It will be in the street class Dan Scheid said.

Can somebody say uh oh!!:eek: I heard the turbo was going to be so big and bad it would suck small children in it going down the track!:rolleyes: Now thats gonna be some serious Pawr!

Well i dont know about that, lol But however Dan did say it would have an extreme charger on it and PROMISED that it would have lightning bolts all over it.

!

Sorry 07CRPawr I really thought you were kidding about Kent building a truck for the street class but I got on the website and seen it all I can say is wow!

i just bought a duramax and shes gettin ready to get dual cp3 pumps bigger turbo and a few other doo dads cant wait to break her out at the tampico summer pull and hopefully put those dodge boys to shame bahahahaha:iamwithst

.

Well what duramax is it? And where is tampeco?

You know I was looking in the diesel power mag and saw that Michael Tomac I believe is his name won the power challenge 2 years in a row. I'm not sure if I've ever watched that truck pull but sure it will be tough.

Wow, Scheid building a street class truck. that will be mean. I seen where Bo Layne and Brad Millers trucks are for sale so they probably got something going on.

Tampico is about an hour north of Louisville, KY and about 20mins west off of I-65.
Its really a beer drinking party with truck pulls going on. There should be some mean duramaxes and Cummins there this spring.

can't believe no one X2'd my sleddy comment, he's goin' to wipe up everyone w/ the new truck :D

If you have never heard of Tomac, You need to go to some DHRA pulls.

Work stock class Duramaxes took care of business at Tampico this year. ;) Twice! :eek:





that is the truth but I'm just ribbing with a few of them. It was a great pull and no one was a bad sport. Just some friendly ribbing since then. :D No doubt, the Cummins trucks there had more power, just didn't come out ahead either time.

Wow, Scheid building a street class truck. ....

But with the price of concrete skyrocketting, who can afford one?

:D

Well i pray them same two duramaxes come back this spring to tampico.

hey convoy the tampico i was refering to is in yakima county washington its just a little pull. out here on the west coast sled pullings startin grow in popularity but its no craze like it is other parts of the country

Thanks 05CRConvoy...The Smoknya team works hard we love the sport and the friends we've made from the sport....Let's all have a good 08 Pulling Season!

Well i pray them same two duramaxes come back this spring to tampico.

gonna try and get there earlier in the day this time so we aren't rushing to get setup like last time and maybe do a little drankin of our own. I'll be honest, we were pumped. That was the first win in the truck and the way the announcer played it up as Dodge vs. Chevy, it was just a blast. Anyway, on the way home, we stopped off in L-ville for a little celebrating. :D

c-yall around.

We gotta get to ALOT of pulls earlier next year, Mitch! :D

Has anybody set dates for the Tampico pulls?

The guy that drove the red dodge 03 daully that pulled at tampico told us boys that its always like the last saturday of the month. Maybe someone else will chime in. I believe he is a member on this site

Cool. I keep a look out for a date in the spring? Are you hooking the '07? Hopefully I can make both pulls this year. I read somewhere that the some of the OH pullers are adopting 2.6" as a "street class" (over the 2.5"). Any truth in this? It would be nice to get a more "standardized" set of rules. (at least the major "core" rules)

I might pull the 05CR. Dont know yet, i still owe Dan, Kent, and Brad some money still

Full Pull Productions went to 2.6 in St. Legal class. Enterprise Engine rules, which are used in much of Ohio, remains at 2.5

My pick is Wes "The Kid" Kus.........whatheverthehellitis. The kid has a lot of drive and will do whatever it takes to be on top. I'd watch out for him.

Yea I watched him pull at the end of the season and the truck was really screaming. I'd say he will be hard to get ahold of next season as welll Bobo.

I hope dale calendar steps up a class, and if so he'll be one to beat. At shelbyville pull he was thinking about it. He has nothing left to prove in the workstock class, being the back to back point champion in 06 and 07.

Well ya know, He may just do that. Dale told me he still likes using the truck on the farm and needed the truck for the farm ya know. He just didnt wanna loose the farm truck just right yet.

oh, it's a farm truck.... thanks for clearing that up.

Thats what he titled it, Even DHRA titled it as a FARM TRUCK

maybe a famr sponsored truck, but it ain't no working farm truck. My guess is that it does one of two things... pull or sit waiting to pull. :D I'd expect to see him in the 2.5 class next year and I'd imagine he'll probably still be tough.

The 2.5 class is not gonna be measly. It'll take some real effort to be at the top. It'll take more than just slapping a charge on what you already had last year IMO. I'd expect the top trucks to be on the north side 600rwhp and capable of fairly efficiently transfering that to the ground.

The 2.8/3.0 class is just going to be nuts considering what it was a couple years ago. Drivelines will likely be limiting factors IMO.

Of course, the Super Street and Mod classes are already insane and completely awesome!!



I hear there are some new faces about to show up in the mod class behind a Duramax plus some fresh builds for the mod and Super Street classes. So it's really hard to say who will be a top of any class. Always so much change. That said, if Chris Watson gets back at it this year coming year, I'd say he'll be at or near the top like when he left. I'd also expect most people to be behind the Double Overtime Powerstroke powered mod truck. hopefully Kyle/Climax got something together this year and winter after breaking to do some damage in the super street class.

I really wouldn't even know who to guess for the 2.5 and 2.8/3.0 class. There are so many trucks and so many that may show up that it's just too hard to even guess. Tony Burkhardt will be tough. I'd expect to see some more CR Cummins trucks doing something impressive in these classes as well.


Well, that is way more than enough babbling on for me so there is my two $&its worth. :D


C-ya

I look for chris to come back in a dodge/cummins

The common rail cummins isnt going to be no slouch in the 2.5 and 2.8 class....the engines reliability will make it a pullers choice IMHO....Most 2.5 and above dmaxes that will want to compete will most likely have to be Built engines

Whoever has the most $ to spend is who will be on top in any class

But with the price of concrete skyrocketting, who can afford one?

:D
Where can I get some of this concrete that adds HP your always referring to?:iamwithst

Where can I get some of this concrete that adds HP your always referring to?:iamwithst

doesn't every town have a concrete plant, let your fingers do the walking :D

Ya I didn't understand what McRat was trying to get at. The only thing concrete is used for is to keep the cylinders from moving under a lot of rpm's. It has nothing to do with horsepower, its just cheap insurance. Thats an old pulling secret from years ago:)

My comments were directed at his DHRA rules comments where he feels that adding concrete to a block is in some way an advantage in a 3" single charger class. (everyone knows 3" single charger trucks break blocks :rolleyes:) Where he was called out on how dumb that comment was and now I see he did it again with this comment reguarding a STREET CLASS TRUCK!!!
But with the price of concrete skyrocketting, who can afford one?(p.s. adding a smiley face doesn't make your comments seem any less idiotic)

I know the whole cummins performance thing is completely out of your relm however there are MANY cummins powered trucks running close to 150psi of boost WITHOUT CONCRETE. In fact I know of one that ran several runs over 100psi before the headgasket finally let go and didn't even have the head o-ringed.

The only thing concrete is used for is to keep the cylinders from moving under a lot of rpm's. It has nothing to do with horsepower, its just cheap insurance. Thats an old pulling secret from years ago:)

I believe it's more about Cylinder pressure than rpm's (although cylinder pressures ramp more quickly at higher rpm's). Gassers/alcohol engines have had to do this when running high compression pistons and/or super/turbo chargers. Diesels are starting to run much bigger chargers, more boost, and much more fuel, water/meth, etc. and it can distort the cylinder walls as cylinder pressures increase. The block fill is used to keep the walls from distorting under these stresses which not only keep the cylinder wall more stable, but allows less deformation of the piston, rod, and crank.

go look in the DHRA rules thread.....Pat is making fun of them about the rule saying you cant run concreted blocks in the street classes......

clearly some don't know how to, or are so caught up with proving something, that they can't see the sarcasm. There is an advantage to running block fillers otherwise IT WOULDN'T BE USED. Is it insta-horsepower? Of course not and any one with half a mind knows that. And contrary to some's belief, Pat isn't stupid and also knows this.

If I may quote the great Tombstone.... "Don't pay no mind to him. He's only funnin' about." ;)


Get a grip folks. :rolleyes:

Pat isn't stupid

clearly some don't know how to, or are so caught up with proving something, that they can't see the sarcasm.


It took me awhile to read between the lines! Funny chit man!!!

Has anybody set dates for the Tampico pulls?

The dates are not set for the Tampico pull yet. The rule of thumb is that the spring pull is the last weekend in June. That may change this year because PPL scheduled Pro-Stock tractors to be at a Champions Tour event in Wheatland, MO the last weekend in June. Pro-Stocks are the biggest attraction to the crowd in Tampico so the date could possibly be moved up a weekend. It will be either June 20/21 or June 27/28. Thanks to everyone who came to pull last year! Look foward to seeing more trucks in '08!

It took me awhile to read between the lines! Funny chit man!!!

and the comedian checks in.... Welcome Ass! How you been? :D

Pro-Stocks are the biggest attraction to the crowd in Tampico

Maybe several years ago....Anymore the Diesel pick-ups rule the roost.

Maybe several years ago....Anymore the Diesel pick-ups rule the roost.

I think I'd have to disagree. Don'e get me wrong, you know I like diesel pick-ups as much as anyone, but when Masterson's, Boyd's, Little's, etc... roll in town they are the "main attraction" for most of the crowd. The Fire Dept. knows this, and thats the reason there may be a date change.

I go to watch the duramaxes win, in my opinion that's the main attraction.:hail::chevy:

I hear wesley kuntzlic is building a duramax mod truck. Im sure he will be up top somewhere.

I also heard that terry martins new not sure sure what yr 05 reg cab truck will be in the street class next year. You can bet them guys will be up towards the top next yr. Maybe all the duramax talk fired these guys up. Should make for some good competition.

Dan didnt say anything about Terrys 06reg cab when i was on the phone with him. Kent Crowder did say they did a bunch of head work to Terrys street truck but that was about it.
Hey Scott Teipen I heard a guy that works with you is building a street class truck? isnt word on this?

Brian Parker of IKTdiesel in Milton KY is putting together a 12V for next year.

Brian Parker of IKTdiesel in Milton KY is putting together a 12V for next year.
I havent talked to Brain in awhile. What is he going to do with his 3rd gen?
Craig still pullin his 3rd gen dodge?

Scott, Thanks for the info! I hope to get there early enough to see the smoker tractors hook this year.

Brian traded his 3rd gen white truck for a 3rd gen black one, which has gave him nothing but problems. When he gets runnin again it will be his "street" truck. I don't know how much pulling Craig will be doing next year but the ones he pulls at will be in his 3rd gen.

Brains truck (white one) seemed to run good.
I love Craigs 3rd gen

2008 year of the Duramax.

My pick is Wes "The Kid" Kus.........whatheverthehellitis. The kid has a lot of drive and will do whatever it takes to be on top. I'd watch out for him.

I agree with Bob Wes's trucks should be on or near the top of the standings this year For the DHRA.
As for the WI pullers I know Mark Huckstorf is building his motor before the begining of the season and Is shooting for the moon on HP, Also Smith 6.6 will be up there with his compound setup he has, Dmaxlover should do well it ran sweet last year for him,Bobo when he has spare time to goof off on weekends will be tough:D. I know there are more trucks out there but only time will tell how this year will play out cause it was along cold winter Come on SPING
