Indy Truck Bash Part Duex..sad pics included
Gang:
Just returned from attending the Indy Import and Truck Bash/ET Bracket Challenge at IRP with fellow F150 'poster L-Acious.
Two words best describe what I saw (not much) of the Import and truck bash....hydraulic pilaf.
RobG,
Sorry I missed you but I did hear some wooting after I layed a first-run-of-the-day Blue Oval Smack down on a C5 Vette. Was that you? Thank you if it was. What a great way to test the Diablo Chip and JL Pulley.
results... (me)
R/T .509
60' 2.030
1/8 8.590
mph 83.01
1000 11.154
1/4 13.404
mph 98.33
(him)
R/T .430
60' 2.124
1/8 5.882
mph 80.16
1000 11.613
1/4 13.870
mph 99.51
The reason my ET was slow and MPH even slower was I had some pinging at the top of 2nd gear and lifted to about 3/4 throttle and STILL handed Mr. Vette his ****. HEH HEH HEH.....NEXT!! Subsequent addition of four gallons of 104 remedied the ping then ran the following times:
Temp was mid 70's with a 10-15 mph crosswind. Truck was in full trim (sans only tailgate) with 25 lbs in the F1's.
run2
r/t .673
60' 1.895
1/8 8.418
mph 83.17
1/4 13.165
mph 103.11
run3
r/t .599
60' 1.922
1/8 8.423
mph 83.54
1/4 13.145
mph 103.80
Now for the not so good news. The fastest Gen 1 in the Central Indiana area (11.34 @ 117 BACKED UP) had some serious misfortune. The stock bottom end of his then Vortech enhanced, 600 hp 351 went KA-BOOM at around the 1/8th mile. Oil and parts everywhere.
He did manage to keep the truck off the wall though. Heads-up driving.

Bob,
I took off Saturday afternoon right before the rain hit. I guess it was a catastrophic weekend for TWO vehicles then because on Saturday some guys hooptie caught on fire as he was leaving the fairgrounds. Billowing smoke, fire truck's and a long *** line were
the result.

Ivan,
Thank goodness it wasn't my truck. Big Red is running great.
However, the Gen 1 was the unfortunate one. He is a real nice guy and was laughing and mumbling something to the effect of 408 stroker motor after they unloaded him in the pits.
