2 Az Tdr Meeting

We had a Bob from LE discuss oils and lubrication. Then Rob from Justice Brothers demonstrated radiator sealant, we testes a number of different oils. This was a unique test, only to find Rottella didn't fair to well and Delo was a rather decent. Then we tested with engine oil treatment, some did quit well before lockup. I will post official results when completely done.

The big news was 12 diesels at drag strip 10 Dodges, 1 Ford, 1 Duramax, great night of racing, but it was hot, Phoenix was 111 and at 10:30 pm it was still 102. Ben, was the fastest diesel of the night running a 13.84

Just for the heck of it after meeting we decided to take K-45 turbo off a 03 Dodge and put a stocker on. Then we went to race. WOW- Jim Obyrnes truck ran a 13.54 while temp was 109 hot. EGT's were out of control. Just wanted to see results. Next we will try quick spool B-1/ machined stock turbo with HX 40 internals.

Thank you to all that participated in racing/meeting. A special thanks to vendor's and Ben at A-Z Diesel, for donation of time food and facility.
