I heard there were only 3 trucks per class this year PLUS Dmitri but it looks like Dmitri isnt going to make it. He isnt 100% sure yet but he is having issues. Last i heard is he was going to announce in X amount of days if he is going.

I cant wait! I will have several new goodies on the truck but i wont be going so crazy ill be worrying about it not running right.

Im very excited to have got chosen and just want the experience.

As far as trucks, i know myself, Owen Horst and Fidel Valasquez are going to back up the Dmax spots. I know Scott Linsey is going with his s510 TT Cummins too. I think he just put down close to 900hp on #2 at Gilletts dyno day.
 
David said something to me about me owning a shop and i explained we have only been open for about 3 weeks. He knows my truck is a daily driver and its going to be pretty much the same set up as when i was driving it out in the oil fields. I really wish i didnt get picked this year, im honestly broke and have no extra funds to put in my truck.

Here are all the names of whos competing: Fidel, Owen and myself for Dmaxs, Andy Parker and Shone Patel are 6.4L guys, Scott Lindsay, Dustin West and Will Underwood are Dodge guys.
 
I heard Andys truck is nasty but dont know specs.
 
Sweet. I hope so. It would suck if a bunch of under powered Tonka toys were going.

Its going to be a good time!
 
Its going to be tricky running at 5800ft and Bandimere usually has a DA of 8500
 
Thats awesome! 37"s to a 31 or 32" tire will help alot. Should run very good. I wish everyone luck. Im just happy to have a chance to go.
 
No were not pulling anywhere near Bandimer.
 
Yea it does but not sure what they have going on with that. Someone else probably had a better price on some land for the day.
 
Not sure what they called it. I just remember they said it was East of Denver.
 
yeah i didnt figure they were going to do it at the track, dirt is less that ideal, i figured they would do it at a fair grounds where the NSPA does some pulls during the reg season.


Time is ticking down you ready?
#### ya im ready.
 
Yes i have heard of a PBK lol

Talked to Dmitri this mornin and he is driving back to Utah from Florida and will be putting his race motor in his truck. He says hes going to make it to DPC.

I lived in Durango CO at 6800ft for 12 years. I know a little about nitrous. I daily drove on a s475.
 
None of that was really directed at you, i know your ready for it, some might not be ready is all i was saying.

So i was right that he hurt his motor????

Glad he is gunna make it
No biggie, i was just sayin..

Dmitri hurt his old motor months ago. He got the Duraflite in and is driving right now from Florida to Utah then hes going down to PPE in Cali. He sounds like he has a good game plan but he thinks he will break something this year.

Says hes going for broke and wants to beat all his old records.

Hes doing good and was in good spirits today.
 
I know i wont be close to 1500hp. Maybe if i ran 3250us and sprayed all three stages with no jets......

I would never do that though. My name is Newly, not Dmitri lol
 
I hope its not me :)
 
We will be at the reception!
 
Did you guys all get a call from Amsoil, Snow, XDP and Nitto? I never got a call from Nitto and was wondering why....
 
They are supposed to send all the competitors tires of there choice.

Ill have my truck all back together in a few days and start tuning it in. Ill be in Denver Sunday night and ill tune her in some more Monday then be ready to rock and roll Tuesday am.
