Classic 'Trails behavior- just because we aren't nitro cars, they don't care. LaRue opens Friday, April 13th. We'll be sending some trucks up for the fun.

I went, waited and broke too. We got there at 2:30 and I got my only pass in at 5pm. I guess you could call it a pass since I made it 2 feet past the starting line. The wait is the same everytime we're at trails. :barf: There must be better places to race.

Sorry Vinny .

 

Yes, my car is RETARED when the cutout is open. I think I drowned out a lot of cars today .

LOL definately drowned out the turbo whistle on mine.

I had fun!! Thanks to all of the CR staff that made it possible. I had an electrical issue with the overdrive and had to pedal at half track to get the truck to shift.

That was my first time to Norwalk and I'd much rather drive there than 30 minutes to Trails anyday.

That was fun watching... kept wondering if every other person on the line had never been to a strip before. I was surprised that the rain didn't start until 930.

Huh??? I'm new here so I'll be nice. No, they do not have a 7.5 Cummins. They have a 5.9 common rail and an upcoming 6.7 (stroked 5.9). Ford had a 7.3 but went to the 6.0 (very bad move on Ford's part, so that engine is already being pulled off the line) and chevy has the 6.5.

"chevy has the 6.5." and more currently, the 6.6 Duramax.

There have always been questions floating around my head about diesel fuel.

 

If the stuff can withstand so much abuse without premature ignition, why is it not looked at for incredibly high horsepwer applications???

Some of the super stock methanol tractor pulling engines are around the 24:1 ratio. They've got more money in one engine than I've ever seen in my life tho.

Would diesel fuel be able to be ignited with say, a direct injection engine with a high compression ratio and turbocharger by use of a spark plug?

Diesel's notoriously hard to ignite. There are Natural gas pipeline pumps that run with spark plugs, but diesel doesn't appear to work that way.

Why are the outlets on Diesel turbo's so damn big compared to petrol engines??

They suck alot. Stock light truck applications push 20psi/650cfm daily. Modified apps run twice as much or more. Also, the diesel's biggest enemy is exhaust temp. Generally the bigger the exhaust housing is, the lower the EGT's you can run towing a heavy load.
