TONS of PICS... Pismo Dunes Memorial Day

[Ryan B.]

YO RYAN awesome pics dude ......by far the blue crew cab pic is the best.. ha ha....i was talking to your dad over there in pismo, my name luis im the owner of the blue crew cab. talking about your sand toys with some friends they led me here after decribing the monster paddles... small world.... check out.... thefew4x4.com also youtube.com/4x4lou.. what was your website???

Yah hey luis whats up!
Thats funny ive been talking about slapping a crew cab body on my dually flatbed k30 chassis, and doing something stubby on the back, maybe even a shortbed.. then you pulled up. i had to point out your truck to all my friends.
Sorry i didn't really come over and talk to you, though i wanted to.. my dad told me you wanted to follow us when we went out so i drove by and asked if you wanted to go romp around with us.. not sure if it was you but i thought someone said big blue was only 2wd at that point? maybe just holding up two fingers saying "peace", i donno. haha.
When you guys were leaving i came over and checked out the crew cab and talked with your brother. hes a cool dude.

 

[Ryan B.]

Cool. I wish I had more time to talk with you guys Saturday night. It looked like you guys had fun.

yah, was good to see ya out there again this year man.
that blazer is a freakin beast now!!! i could tell it sounded meaner when you pulled up.
i think you scared most everyone away when you started racing up the hill.. haha.
After you made some laps up the hill i didn't see you anymore.. we went and lined up and raced a good 8 or 10 times and then i realized my oil pan was cracked, so that was it for sat. night...

I don't know if you met the other couple guys out there, the guy with the yellow '72 496 truck that taco'd the rear suspension sat. night.. then on sunday i seen nick with the supercharged 383 orange first gen blazer and white hard top.. had the hood up out in the dunes sunday afternoon.. i blast over there and he tells me how he popped the engine. fired it up and it was like ClankClankClank. Dead cylinder and probably a broken rod. Said he'd spin it to 8,000 the whole weekend and has hit the 8500 rev limiter.

awesome pics... got anymore

 

[JDNobodi]

Yeah, that was my fault. I was waiting for Braddon to race.(the guy with the orange and black shortbed.) By the time we lined up on the hill, he was having motor problems. (loose spark plug wire.) By time he got that fixed, the Rangers showed up and we didn't want "too loud" tickets for running open headers. We got a chance to race the next day.

 

[Ryan B.]

whats the specs on the orange/black truck? i drove by when he was unloading it on the beach.. that was one of the burliest sounding trucks out there.
i'm sure it had a huge cam and a lot of compression!

 

[JDNobodi]

Yup, it is a high compression 468 with ported factory aluminum "snowflake" heads with a big cam on NOS. He only beat me once on Sunday when he used the bottle. I beat him when we ran motor to motor. I will be faster overall when I hook up my NOS.

The thing is, the motor isn't his and he is going to give the motor back to it owner after this last outing. The motor is going to a Chevelle.

Supposedly, Brandon is building a 396 that came out of a boat to replace the 468.

Oh yeah, the truck has a 12bolt, dana 44 with 3.73 or 4.11 gears. I can't remember which. A Th350, NP205 combo.

 

[Ryan B.]

kevin with the white blazer has an LS2 6.0L, it was running neck and neck with my cam'd LQ9 6.0L.. thought we were quick out at the flats with our 400-500 hp trucks, until a grey '73ish shortbed on paddles was trying to line up but we didn't see him so we left early.. he caught up and pulled 3 or 4 truck lengths on us.
kevin said something like "yah he ain't toting around a dana 60 and 14 bolt in that thing though.. haha."




...Heres some pictures from last year since ya asked for more...

want to go back there so bad! NJ sucks

 

[JDNobodi]

That '73 grey short bed is a guy named karlin. He is one of our main competion. He has a 498 ci bbc with 11:1 and a solid roller camshaft. Its pretty impressive and makes somewhere around 600hp. It has a dana 44 with a Sf 14 bolt ,np205, t350, and 4.10 gears. We have some videos of us racing him. He used to beat us, but memorial day we were beating him by about three trucks at the flats and a truck on the hill.
