:whs: When David Kennedy started this whole thing, the point was to gather the best of the best, and see how far the industry has come, and give it a reason to push harder. If you want to pit the best against the best, you can't be selective on your sources. Not like every day joe blow can buy a $30-70K truck, then put another $60K into it, just to risk blowing it up. That alone makes it appeal to only a select group; the same group they're ostracizing. There's just no way to have a magazine promoted event where an everyday reader can compete successfully. Maybe they can do the DPC with bone stock brand new trucks to fight out whose is best, kind of like the king of the hill challenge, but otherwise it's pointless.
I just really enjoyed watching this year's competition because despite a couple weak non-ford trucks, the competition was really stiff. Everybody I cared to watch had their stuff together, came prepared, and pushed their trucks to the limit. Thanks to all you guys who competed for putting on such a great show. If nothing else, we learned that 6.0's can't idle in the cold, and rocker arm upgrades are sorely needed LOL
