At the WFC this year there is a class for the Diesel. There will be a few 8000# trucks running in the 11's.
Black smoke everywhere

 

I had a friend with an old lifted power wagon that would spit oil out of his side pipes when he floored it. Nobody wanted to race him. He could slime on command.

 

Swofford,,
cut that waistgate lever down a quarter inch and it wakes up the big powerstroke. My friends 350 dually chewed a 350 Z71. It left 4 blackies across the intersection!

 

I knew what you were going to say as soon as I read "diesel" ---LOL

Well written.

LOL right on, for a moment there I thought I had upset the balance or something here. Was the first lightning Ive seen on the road so I had to mess with the guy. He was great laughed as he shot past me.

 

Reminds me of when a Silverado with Nashville Electric Service markings and a couple of extension ladders lashed to the bed pulled alongside my L downtown. We were at the foot of a bridge headed toward the interstate. He revved his engine and jumped ahead a couple of inches. I looked over at him and laughed it off in a friendly way, and he gave me a thumbs-up. I thought the silly interaction had ended right there.

When the light turned green, he brake-torqued that thing and shot off the line like a scalded cat, nearly losing one of his ladders. I was so entertained by the clumsy spectacle I forgot to blow past him.

I love the South. I wasn't born here, but I came as fast as I could.

 

Swofford - Great thread... LOL I remember back in the day I had a Caddy with a Diesel (POS). Well in Miami the people love their damn horns. Light turns green... 1/10 sec and horns blow. Well I would floor that Caddy and it would lay down a smoke screen your would not believe. So bad the people behind me couldn't see and would have to stop until I got out of the immediate area. I really enjoyed doing that. Of course, the Caddy was so slow a VW bug had faster pickup. The new PS is pretty darn fast. Again thanks for the great post.

 

SWOFFORD I liked the story. I'm down with the Spokane humor but i'm from renton so George Straight would have been changed to Snoop Dogg and it wouldn't have been a diesel truck it would have been a 86 monte carlo with 10" 100 spokes on it. LOL

 

I thought it was pretty funny, too. Reminds me of the day that I got my Swanson chip, and I following my buddy home to his place in Manhattan Beach. He is driving his old clapped out fwd Plymouth (yes, Plymouth) minivan. We're headed west on Rosecrans, and get stuck at the light at Sepulveda. I had lane choice, naturally, and picked the left one, but when we got to the limit line I can see I picked the wrong one. They are doing some kind of roadwork on Sepulveda, and the left lane is just full of torn-up asphalt and lots of marbles. The light turns green, and as soon as I gas it on the marbles with all the new-found power I just sit there and spin, while my pal motors off in his minivan. Well, eventually I hook up, and 100 yards down the road I fly by at a high rate of speed. My friend is laughing his head off, and he will never, ever let me forget about the time that he "smoked" my truck with his Plymouth.

 

SWOFFORD,
great story, next time you are on the west side of the state
BRING IT ON and we'll see who smokes who dammit you'll probably get written up for pollution....LOL.......JR

 

Im actually from Texas only been here a few months because of my wife. So George is the norm on the stereo for me.

 

lmao.. quality little thread Swofford

 

Nice Post. I thought it was extremly funny. Love this forum.

 

You have to be careful with some of those deisels, there's a Ram that runs in the 11's. Apparently runs very high boost.
