Well constant bad luck all year and it all payed off tonight.

Quick recap of the season. My old 636ci TS engine new crank came wrong.... sent it back.... Went to use my 496ci for the first pull of season.... Rod let go and pretty much finished the engine.... Bought a much newer 640ci b1-TS engine.... First time out valve sticks, breaks ALOT!!!

Well after fixing that and playing with the alchy set up on it tonight we pulled a first place out of ten trucks!

Makes it all seem worth it

Nice going, congratulations on the WIN !

You put lots of work (and money) to get there. But your efforts did the trick.

Nice Job!!! It seems like truck pulls have lost their luster in the Detroit area over the last 15+ years. I use to love going and watching when they had them inside the Pontiac Siverdome!

Thanks for all the kind words!

I really does feel good after having such a rough star to the season!

We are the only Dodge puller in a sea of GM and FORDs. But boy does a Dodge turn head sometimes. I got asked twice if i had a GM engine under the hood! Was proud to point to the Big DODGE imprinted in the side of the TS heads

I might go to Essex Junction to a grand National event Monday and then its our last pull of the season with this club next Friday Saturday.

Way to go Doug. You really do deserve the win with all the struggles you have had the past 2 seasons.
