anybody heard any times from today?? or did the rain get them.?.....several in the 11.4 range yesterdayEdited by: sdaver

Just heard Tomac took 3rd in the top gun shootouthttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif. 1st went to Jeff Garmon and 2nd was ts performance's truck. Awesome showing from Tomac and the dmaxhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif as 1st and 2nd have alot more invested and more resources available to them. Looks like the dmax is clipping the heals of the cummins, won't be long now. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

Dodge in first place?

For that race yes. Could change at any time for upcoming events though. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

The purse was over 7k I believe? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif Congrads to all the winners.

What were the times?

Winner was 11.43, second was 11.46, 3rd tomac no time posted, 4th ford 7.3 with a 13 second flat run. If Tomac ran like he did last weekend he's only .5 second behind the 2 dodges. Not bad, considering the 2 that beat him are diesel performance business built trucks that probably have unlimited resources and funds, not an average joe truck that has nothing to do with the diesel performance industry. Congrats to the winners too, great times, and congrats to Tomac for hanging close to the big boys.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif

If you guys are serious my email address for my paypal account is mtomac@centurytel.net

When I win the next race I'll be sure to thank the DieselPlace.com members for putting me the Duramax in the winners circle.
http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

I have video of the event, I'll post it tomorrow. DuramaxRacing.com has 5GB of bandwith for May, so I'll be able to host the video.

BTW, I towed a 32' enclosed gooseneck trailer to the event, unhooked the "race truck" from the trailer, took 2nd in the Pro Street heads up class, 3rd in the shootout, then hooked the trailer back up and drove home.

Tomac- what were your times??? and mph???

my best run was a 12.05@112.XX in the PS finals

In the shootout I launched too hard and spun all 4 tires. I had my worst 60' time of the day and ran a 12.16

I swear, I hate weld wheels so bad. They made me miss saturday. I wanna pull my freakin hear out so bad. It's ok though. I finally got my wheels saturday and the truck is lifted and rollin HIGH. I'll be at Muncie this year. So, hopefully it'll make up for it. Congrates to all the winners.


-Chad-

mtomac- Very impressive times. Wish I would have made it here in time to see the races. I missed it by half a day. I was counting on rain Sat. If there is any way we can help you out, let me know.

mtomac ran impressively ALL DAY!!! And he did tow is BIG trailer there AND home. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif If any of you have not seen his truck run, you are missing out.


One thing to clear up. The truck that won was privately owned. Darren Morrison is the owner and the only person "paying" to go fast. He came to Jeff Garmon to make it that way, so give Darren credit for a job well done. Darren actually built the motor himself based on specs Jeff provided and then when it was in, he brought it to Jeff to tune on my Dyno. I was very proud for Darren, just as I was for every other truck that ran down the track... Do'ers, not talkers. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif

Some bad a$$ trucks come from that Garmon stable. In case I missed it, It was a dodge right? You say, built the motor. what was done to it?

Eric,


It was a 12V Dodge. The same one that I have the video of on my site from the last shop/dyno day. The truck belongs to Darren. Darren has spent the money and built the truck. It was tuned by Jeff Garmon and Darren on David's dyno. It has a custom pump, injectors, twins, etc. His power was all #2. It is not an unlimited funds truck either. Darren is just another dieselhead like the rest of us so the privateer thing that some others brought up before does not wash. Jeff Garmon really knows how to setup a Cummins to run.


That truck makes serious power for sure and they deserved the win after all the hard work that was put into making it run. I would have loved for a Duramax to win and I would have enjoyed being there to run too but it was not in the cards. Tomac made a strong showing for sure and CONGRATS to everybody who ran.


All I know is that Garmon's diesel makes a great contribution to the diesel performance sport for all of us. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif

With your racing skills Brandon, you would have come home with some extra cash for sure. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif


I agree, not too many people recognize what Jeff does. I'd bet he makes more HP per dollar than anyone on a 12v.


Eric - Darrens motor was re-built just because it had a ton of miles on it. He is running special piston's Jeff made to de-compress a bit. Other than that it is stock internally. The intention was to give him a high 11 second power and get him accustomed to that level. Then to low-mid 11's, then shoot for the 10's. We'll see what happens...


I put Darrens time slip on my site. www.dieselperformancemotorsports.com (http://www.dieselperformancemotorsports.com)


I've added a download link to Jeff's 10.22 video.Edited by: DavidTD

Thanks Brandon and Dave. Not that it matters, but what kind of Dyno #'s does Darrens truck make?

Eric - that was the best part of the weekend for me personally. Both Jeff and Darrens trucks were tuned on the dyno. After they came off, I estimated what they would run and was almost spot on. Kind of a "validation" for me on the dyno.


Darren ran 666hp on the dyno at 13xx something torque. Race weight is 5820. His 118.69 mph was what we "expected" and calculates to 660hp. Jeff's truck ran what we expected too for mph. Need to get the suspension set-up and he'll be in the 9's for sure.

I had every intention to help out on Mtomac`s truck until I read where he couldn`t even break the 11.9`shttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif


And all winter many on this site was saying wait til this spring we will be seeing low 11`s out of that truck and other duramax trucks. I say not this year! Maybe, just maybe one will make 11.4`s (I am not talking about those weekly races, I mean in a real race where it counts) I have read about the 11.36 but it don`t count unless it`s a real race, with witness`. (I could get my bud at the drag race to make me up a really nice run! maybe 10`s or 11`s. and no one would be the wiser, unless I fessed up! Who knows, maybe that is what the 11.36 is.)http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif


I want to know what in carnation happened?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif

Just so someone don`t get upset. I am on paid leave from work, and I am bored, so I am just havin some fun.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gifEdited by: hdmax

Doesn't seem like 12.00 is very far from 11.95. Seem to me like Mike is picking up right where he left off.

Darn I missed David's Dyno. MAn that stinks.

I went to the race and was greeted with a bunch of BS.. I lined up for my first round of eliminations and got screwed.. The other guys light never came down and they disqualified me saying when I passed the lights I smoked them out, so he had no light.. As I argued with the official they kept running the race. He said that's just the way it is.. That was until I pointed out that my competitor was dialed in a half second slower than I was.. There was no way possible I could have passed his light with my exhaust when he was supposed to have left a half second sooner than me.. The official then apologized and said he would refund my money.. I had drivin there from Florida for this race.. A refund was BS.. They finally told me I could race for 3rd place against the 3rd place finisher.. They guaranteed him $150 wether he won or lost.. I won the race and cut a .01 light... They wouldn't allow me to race for 2nd or 1st... In all I was pretty upset with the whole situation, even though they tried to "somewhat" let me compete in the end. I didn't travel there to have a 3rd place finish be the best I was allowed to recieve.. I hate to bitXh, though getting disqualified for a track's light failure is a crock.. Being "allowed" the chance to race for 3rd and nothing higher is messed up as well.... They tried to say Gorman's truck smoked his competitors light as well, and Gorman had a single exhaust pointing straight up... BS is all I can say....

hdmax, I can only run 12.00 in competition without a rollbar

The DHRA is in a tough spot when it comes to smoking out the beams/lights. Many of these trucks smoke alot on the line spooling up the turbo. When the wind and conditions are just right the lights can get messed up by the smoke. The rules say if you smoke out the lights you're DQ'ed. What should they do? DQ the smoker or the guy that got smoked out? Eric did mention using fans in front of the beams and reflectors to keep the smoke away next time conditions are like it was in BG.

My bad, i read that it was Garmons truck, didn't mention privately owned. Either way there was some good competion at the race by the sounds of things.


The dmax will come. You figure Tomac isn't into hard motor parts or turbo or injectors that i know of, and cummins are. When that stuff is available to us, look out http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif

here's the video from the Pro Street final (http://www.duramaxracing.com/TomacDuramax12.05@112.21.mpg)

http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/uploads/84D_TomacDuramax12.05@112.21.jpg

Hey Mike is a .000 a perfect lite or were u running on a different reaction time?


A holeshot and u could have beat him http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

.000 is a perfect light

In my first test-n-tune pass down the track I redlighted with a -.014 RT and I never recovered the rest of the day. I was too scared of redlighting again.

You came out harder than him going by the incrementals. He caught up ET wise at the 1/8, then ran harder out the back end. I like your 60 and 330 ft numbers! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif

If you had cut a light close to .000 you would have won!

Actually .047 light or better would have won. I know that's a tall order, but it is possible.

You can't help but like to watch Mike's truck run. No dramatic's, it just goes out and takes care of business. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif

I especially like the lack of smoke. The nitrous sure does a good job, no wasted fuel!

Look what I found on the DHRA website http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

Good Showing Mike .....

I thought at first to your left was your trophy for second place .... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

I have the trophy in my hand but it's glass and hard to see

Uh oh, Angel is gonna get mad!


LOL


Mike, we need to get some stickers on that truck for your next showing at Muncie.....

Obviously they did not have a "must be taller than Snoopy" board at the track entry...http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif





Congrat's on a strong run Michael! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Thumbs Up.gif


When do you and Eric start fabbing a roll cage???

Good news!! I just found a couple hunks of some exhaust pipes we took off for warranty. I think if we cut out the mufflers and cats we got something. Then we could get some donated stock 3.5 " systems and use them where strength is more critical......


Hmmmm. Maybe we better farm it outhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Geek.gif

Look for some good 409 SS so it can get nice and purty orange like the tailpipe on a 6.0 Ford!

The girl in the photo with Tomac is Emily. She works here at TS Performance and volunteered to be the trophy girl.


Tomac,


You've got the baddest Duramax I've ever seen. Congrats on your run and it was good getting to meet you.

Hey Dennis the mence, Did you drive a truck in the comp race, or do you still hire a professional driver???

Where were you? Oh I forgot you don't have a fast truckhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif. Our drivers all work here at TS. When you get a fast truck then I will get back in one of the 4 trucks.

Why don't you just say it? It's too hard keeping that booster seat upright during hard launches.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif But I do have an idea?.......My son has a car-seat 5 point harness and all. Maybe he would arm wrestle you for it?.........No that just wouldn't be fair he's 3 1/2..........I'll just let his little brother do it!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif As for a fast truck I guess we'll see? Who knows maybe TIM?(I'll bring the seat)http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Thumbs Up.gif


As always stay sweet.


Later your pal

SORRRY TO HAVE RUFFLED YOUR FEATHERS!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif Edited by: JRmac

JRSmack,


If you don't watch you step....you will be seeing me again!


I set the Street Diesel Record last year in my car seathttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif. Now we have added the 5 point harness to my car seat because we have already been 11.46 @ 119.57. It's not my fault your acomplishments in life have been smallhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif


Your jokes are weak. Get some practice and we will try this again later.


Would you like me to send you an autographed copy of the magizine that the TS Performance Dodge was on the front cover last month?


Dennis
