I have to tell

I have to tell this little story about DTT

OK here I go... It was the last time Muncie held the Diesel meet and what is now held in Indy

I was running my truck at the drags on Sunday and just seeing what I could get out of her. I lined her up and had the power max on 5 and no boost, Launched it off idle and let the trans shift normal and hit a 13.9

I came back got in line but this time I was just going to launch it at about 12 to 15 lbs of boost but when the light came down it was nothing but tire spin

in out in out of the throttle and ran a 15.4

I came back put the power max on 9 and launched it at just under 5 lbs of boost, It hooked great and when it hit 2nd I hit the lockup and she was grunting and moving. It was going great till about the 1,000 foot mark and then it happened boom no more input shaft

I got the truck on the return road before it came to a stop. I walked all the way back into the pit area where I came up on Bill Kondolay. He looked at me and he said what happened? I told him I broke the input shaft and before I could say anything else he was looking for a truck and a tow strap to help me back to the pits. He got me back to the pits and then proceeded to hand me a input shaft and then he told me where I could take the truck so I could get it fixed. Now that is costumer service if you ask me. That was the first time I ever got to meet the Kodolays and family and all I can say is they are great friendly people. I just thought I would share that and to say thanks again
