Muncie was great.........

[jwilliams3]

Thunder in Muncie this year was a great event to say the least.
Attendance along with the weather was great.
It is always great to see a half mile or mile long line to get into a event especially when they are all Diesel pickup's!

Friday night at Lee's in was a blast, alot of familiar faces along with MUNCIE GONE WILD!!
There was the burnout show. This included Kirk Kannard losing a rear end in his Dually equipped with huge drag slicks.
Multiple burnouts from other smoker trucks, along with law enforcement making their presence to calm the shenanigans for the time being.
The highlight was Jake Scharosch of ATS Diesel doing a Piers style burnout in front of Lee's Inn. This included spinning in circles and laying monster smoke out.
To top this all off. Jake not concerned with fuel mileage began to accelerate down the street shooting a 1' flame out of his full exhaust pipe for about 300 feet.

Saturday started early with the qualifying sled pulls.
The top 25 trucks out of the street class qualifications were allowed to pull in the event finals.

I don't have a list of who pulled what footage.
It seemed that almost every Duramax that ran would make almost a full pull.
Mostly Cummins trucks as usual made it to the finals...Even one Ford made it.
I ended up pulling 282' in the qual's which was about 15' short of making the night time pull.

The Dyno....Well I didnt watch a single dyno run.
I was busy running around with my head cutoff for the pulls.
Many vendors were present....
ATS Diesel Performance, TST products, Scheid Diesel, Edge Products, Haisley Machine, Direct Injection, DPP, BD Power, Piers Diesel Research, North West Customs, TS Performance etc, Garmons Diesel Performance, David Dunbar Dynojet etc.

Sundays race was nice, once again the dyno was running along with some very fast trucks.
I witnessed a practice race between 2 of the fastest Cummins trucks around. One was one of the Garmon Diesel Performance 12v's the other was the TS performance 24v.
Both of these trucks ran in the 11's if I remember correctly.
One word FAST!!!
The Cummins Diesel/Scott Bentz Dragster ran low 9's (and broke into the 8's!) if memory serves right....AWESOME!

Many familiar faces and friends at Muncie.
Good to see all of you!!!

Thanks to Eric Mcbride and DieselSport Promotions for the great event.
