Exactly, no reason a "ford" can't compete on that level.. Just takes someone that is committed to taking things to the next level.

I hope the ford's do well in this, it's not always the biggest power that wins. Lavon is for sure gonna be hard to beat, if he wins he deserves it. He is doing some really cool stuff. I say good luck to everyone in this thing, lots of new ideas in all 3 brands being tried out for this competition, it's good for our sport all the way around.

6.7 or 6.4. Either motor is a good candidate for a proper competition chassis. The advantage of the 6.7 is it's lighter and has better heads. But the 6.4 is more stout in the bottom end.

Yep. I think either motor can be competitive in the middle weight classes.
Us diesel heads will never be taken too seriously while we continue to try and move 7000lbs plus down the 1/4 rather then build lighter weight platforms just like the gas cars do. We are getting past the smokey trails all the way down the track and have to now focus on the safety/liability of going 140mph+ in a heavy truck. There really should be max weight limits at certain speeds.

Yeah well Lavon is outrunning his cage cert and the track officials were definitely taking notice.
I think super street is going to have to turn into an 8.50 index, because there is no current SFI spec for a 4500lb truck going faster than 8.50

Other then ditching the remainder of his chassis rails I don't know where he would have room to gain with a truck configuration unless he went 2wd. 4wd will start to impose itself once speeds get much faster. Miss Misery was trying to deal with those impositions. I'm unaware if they ever got it so the back end wasn't trying to race the front end.
Imagine the H&S Lightning gutted like Lavons truck...

Don't own anything that would compete right now. I have 3 pulling trucks which is taking any spare time I may have.

It's tough to put your cards in a different hat when you are committed in other areas.
That is one way that is helping lavon for sure. There are a lot of great shops with amazing trucks in and it seems like only 2 or 3 from what I have seen are actually going for a podium in all three events. Whatever the outcome it is all good for the industry. You would think someone would fit a strong pulling rigs engine in a truck with a bulletproof 4 speed auto and a chassis like lavon or Derrick and have everything be modular so you could switch after you are done with the event in a few hours. If there is a second one I foresee a lot more of that. Maybe even a series of events?

That would be interesting, they have suspension stops on the rear but the front will still have the little dinky afco shocks valved and sprung for drag racing, I wonder how much load those things can take.. Or what they have planned for the front suspension to make it take more weight
