Diesel Power Challenge 2013; Who's in?

[Spatel23]

I can still go back if needbe.

We have way too much fun spectating. lol

 

[F250stroker08]

Oh man... Doesn't look nearly as stacked as last year.

I feel like this is going to be a continuing trend for the dpc

 

[Powerstroked162]

Guess I need to throw a transfer case and front axle in Capone if that's how competition is gonna be. Crazy that a 6.0 with 190's is gonna be up against 1000-1200hp trucks.

Maybe next year we can enter Craig's truck again for some competition

Just curious why you didn't this year...

 

[Mike@MPD]

Couldn't get it ready in time. We hopefully will try next year. I'm sure Craig has some outrageous plan for it

Just be sure to not advertise with the magazine, or be associated with someone who is, and you'll more than likely get in. It shouldn't be too hard to make it when stock fuel, and drop-in batmo's will make it to the top 10 :lame: One thing I've learned about Craig is that he doesn't hold back in competition, so it would be a good show despite the outcome. I bet you're wishing right now that your truck could make another attempt at it considering the lack of worthy competitors.uke: With so many solid trucks whose owners would love to compete, it's a shame that the pickings are so slim. It's a good thing Erik's truck is a shoe-in, and there's a couple of other good ones we can vote for.

Didn't expect these results... Especially with some of the builds that have been completed since last DPC. Oh well, good luck guys!

 

[Mike@MPD]

I would love to be able to do it again lol ballz to the wall again and not a care. I could see a rebuild for Craig's truck after if he got in lol.

I wonder if there is a legitimate explanation for my above stated question. It's probably a political thing that will get swept under the rug, or skirted around if the illogical reasoning is what I'm thinking it is. Are there any fummins in the running?

Maybe because it's in denver again they may think you have an unfair advantage with Elite...who knows...

That OBS looks beast on paper though!

 

[bluedevilslax]

Just from reading the past couple of pages and not have the magazine in front of me. Other then the dodge camp it really sounds like Erik isn't going to have a whole lot of competition this year from the other teams.

I agree with the statements made about how last years DPC was one of the best since there is minimal breakdowns and all of the truck were pretty much daily drivers with proven set-ups.

I do also have the same concern as Dustin with Erik going to triples. I know that he is very good hands over at Elite and that they are going to build that truck almost be fail proof. But that is what happened to Godzilla last year and had to withdraw the day before the competition.

Not doubting anyone just saying.

Looking forward to getting the issue in front of me and making the votes for myself.

Yeah Mike he does but I think last year they were allowing shop trucks in to get the popularity back up for the event so that the shops that got trucks in would promote DPC and more people would buy the magazine and DVD to follow along and see what happened.

But the fact the he does advertise might also be the reason that they blurred out all of the Rudys shirts and hats that he was wearing since he wasn't a direct sponsor of DPC.

 

[stroker57]

Not trying to start anything here but I would like to see a ford win again. With that said I think the set-up that I have could represent the blue oval well

 

[Built 6.7]

I would just like to say that when I sent my paper in 5 to 6 months ago I sent what the truck was at that current time. When I found out I was one of the 10 ford's to pick from for diesel power challenge I knew my current setup wasn't going to be good enough. So I contacted Snyder performance to help build a competitive truck for diesel power challenge.

 

[powerstrokedkid87]

what issue is this in? been looking but cant seem to find it

 

[01PSD]

i think what worries me most is some of these trucks aren't even close to being ready..

David at DI pulled the engine out of my truck and rebuilt it while a truck was waiting to bring it to the challenge, and that turned out just fi..... oh wait. LOL
