take that to the bs thread, this is for updates only

speaking of which, do we have anything for placement, even assumptions of placement for all other prior events? I saw some stuff, but nothing compiled. They must be getting close to done with the "economy test" drive. How's the weather at the track anyway? Last year's mud bog pull was cool and all, but I want to see traction/carnage on something other than the sled test truck LOL

Not sure where the sled track is but it rained a good bit on the east part of town. Not sure if they got hit over where the events are being held. Still cloudy out too looks like it could rain anytime.

Sled track looks good from the picture diesel power magazine just posted.

From the info I can gather Ryan is about the only one with a prayer and it seems like he needs to do very well in the mileage and place almost at the top in sled pulling.... I dont think his truck will fare well in the mileage test, but he will probably do pretty well in front of the sled.

Beech is out without a miracle

Howard is out even with a miracle from the looks of the current standings.

Ford cannot win. It's over. Hopefully Ryan wins the sled pull like the fords usually do.

Honestly from what i saw yesterday. Levon or Dannick maybe Kauffman but sadly, most likely a dodge. But hey, they were holding together and not making many mistakes. If Dannick didn't sleep on the tree he would have had Kauffman. But that was about the only mistake I saw from them. Levon went to fast if that was a mistake. Lol

Lavon looked pretty tough to beat yesterday. Seemed to have a driver's edge over Kaufman. I don't see Danick having a shot either. Shilo has placed well in all events as well.

TyCorr · May 8, 2014

Levons truck is ridiculous. Good on him! It looks well built.

Six_Sloww · May 8, 2014

Hasn't Levon been top 3 in just about every event?

Saw on instagram they are down to 7 trucks. Didn't say which truck broke but had a picture a bit before that of the white reg cab dmax blowing a ton of white smoke. And a caption saying "damn" or something along them lines.

HOOV3R · May 8, 2014

So who else is out now? They said they're down to 7.

Six_Sloww · May 8, 2014

If shilo wins there will be a lot of people eating crow.. Myself included

Josh@DirtyDiesels · May 8, 2014

At this point I feel like Lavon or Matt will win. Seeing their trucks makes me want another stupid dodge. Lavon's truck seems to really run well, and it looks killer too.

Troy's truck has been white smoking the whole event. Looks like it's just fuel... Tuning would probably fix it.
