Yep, there was one of them diesel dudes @ NH too. Dodge Ram. Funniest part
was the snorkel exhaust kit he, er, installed. Take that school bus
exhaust-dwarfing Cummins pipe and extend it up, yes, up the right rear light
and cant it back, up about 4 feet. Looked horrendous. During his brake
stand for the launch it would simply BILLOW out an enormous plume of black
smoke straight into the air like a smoke stack.
Funniest was that he burned like a 13.8 IIRC. Yeow.

Subject: 1/4 miles and clutches
Paul,
Sounds pretty familiar. What a wonderful smell. I can slip my clutch in
1st from launch if I drop it from above 3500 rpm. I bet your clutch has
lots of life left unless you keep doing the drag races. My car, 91 200,
with a Steve Eiche special chip and a garret T3/T4 hybrid turbo at 22 psi
can run 15.6s at Bandimare Speedway 7000' elevation. Trap speeds were 92
mph. I would like to know what it would do at sea level. Some people
claim a full second difference for NA cars from 7000' to sea level. The
most interesting car at the drag strip was a 7000+lb Ford F-250 diesel
running 15.0s. He had nitrous and propane injection very cool guy, must be
a cousin of Haps.

<<<Paul's car has the MTM Stage 1+ chip and a Stebro exhaust from the cat
back.
Same 17" Avus though with 255 tires vs. my 235s, so probably slightly more
rotational mass. As I recall, his last two runs were 15.13 and 15.15 sec
ET, with a trap speed of 97-98 mph. I'll let Paul describe the first run
when he gets back. I don't know. Something to do with clutch not engaging
until 3rd gear. It wasn't pretty.>>>
