NPD Open House

[Ben@npd]

Hi everyone, It's that time of year again.
We finally made up our minds that we are going to do the open house this year. It wont be easy for us, but we have had a lot of inquiries and we think there is a bunch of people that look forward to it. So it's gonna happen.
We dont have the huge yard that we had at our old shop but we will make room for everyone.
The dates will be 6/7 and 6/8. check www.northeastperformancediesel.com for info.

Thank You everyone for your support during our time of need,
Ben:woohoo:

[Jim]

i cant wait to see that jim:Signal73: ...... if you need a place to crash friday night let me know, my brothers old room is unused since he moved out, and im 15 mins from bens shop:idea:

[Jim]

i cant wait to see that jim:Signal73: ...... if you need a place to crash friday night let me know, my brothers old room is unused since he moved out, and im 15 mins from bens shop:idea:

Thanks Dave:HoleShotHolset:
honestly I have no idea what its going to run Im not too good at the whole tree thing, so It will be more of a good time to hang and BS then be real competitive but maybe Ol :11secondDoug: can give me some tips!:smokin:

[97dodgectd]

its more of a trial and error thing.....im not by any means doug but heres one of the best tips anyone will ever give you. it helped me out a lot, let off the brake on the last yellow light on the tree and by the time you start to move the light should be green. :HoleShotHolset:

[DOUG]

The most important thing to remember is that your time doesn't start until you leave the line (break the staging beams). The only thing your launch affects is your reaction time, which has no effect on your ET.

Bottom line is...if your racing just to get your time, reaction time means nothing. If your racing to beat the guy next to you, then you have to leave on the last yellow light. :11secondDoug:

[killed300ex]

jim should be a good weekend lookin forward to seeing your truck run. anyone be up for a friday night get together after teh drags??? As long as I dont have to work will know better next week but id be up for having it at my house only problem is its 30 mins from the track and then 1.5 to bens shop.

Getting spooled on the line will be the toughest thing to learn I think. Only thing I have dragraced was my 06 and that has no fuel so a little brake stand and shes lit!

From what I see on track days pull up til the 1st staging lite is lit, get spooled and once spooled creep up to trip the second staging lite comes on, wait for the countdown and give it hell:woohoo:

That's right Jim....but don't wait for the green light, give it hell on the last yellow.

[killed300ex]

another helpfull tip is to let the other person stage first. That way once your spooled and staged the lights start.

[BelgianMagic]

I hope to run the track on fri, and stay over then open house on sat.:smokin:

I work 7 days a week...and I still ain't got NO $$$$$$:exactly::97DodgeCTD:

That's because you keep spending it on your truck...:97DodgeCTD:

[Jim]

That's because you keep spending it on your truck...:97DodgeCTD:

Technically not a bad thing!:exactly:

[onewhl750]

I'm coming up from Va to be there. Not sure if I am going to actually race the truck since I have to drive it 12 hours to get home, but I am looking forward to throwing it on the dyno and hopefully get some better numbers then the last time.

[killed300ex]

thats alotta driving for a weekend. Im hoping to go as long as the funds are still there after this weekend. Hopefully make the drags friday and then maybe saturdays dyno

[Jim]

those are my plans too evan is the open house still at the shop? I thought I heard it was elsewhere due to the size constraints of the lot.

[sooter]

so far so good for me going, i think i'm gonna go on saturday this time.

[Tooned]

thinkin about goin

[dracutrider]

is there somewhere i can park where my oil drip wont ruin the pavement?

[sooter]

usually the local VIP is a good spot for oil leaks:smilielol:

[Smokin']

:TqT: Unfortunately, (well, not really)I will be on my bike in Lake George, NY next weekend...I was looking forward to seeing everyone and dishing out my fair share of chit to all of you! I guess everyone will just have to pick on Flip or "Tom"...:stirthepot: :exactly:

[mmasuperman12]

i thikn i will try and make it to this one, finally meet some people in person

[96dodgectd]

I'm going as well.

[onewhl750]

thats alotta driving for a weekend.

Yea, I came up to see the 'rents and some friends so I am actually up for the week. Brought the boat and the fishing poles, and with some luck we will have some fun this week.

[killed300ex]

well im now not sure how much ill be around unfortunitly, leaving for georgia sometime friday or saturday for two weeks. Hopefully it will be saturday and ill be able to enjoy the drags friday night.

[DCreed]

what time do the drags start?
lets start a list and time for travel so maybe we can get a convoy goin!:HoleShotHolset:

[sooter]

i was told mike will be back friday night promising to be quicker than he was before (if they allow him to make a run) to be kicked off the track again. i'll definately be there at ned and at npd on sat.

[Jim]

[DOUG]

Im sure Doug will be along, he knows the track well.
If not give Ben a call to get the specifics.

Gates open at 5pm, racing starts @ 6pm. Tech opens @ 5pm, closes @ 8pm. NED closes @ 10pm.

You earn whatever they pay you to do that job! just watch out for peoples rear brake lines this time, eh?:stirthepot:

Gates open at 5pm, racing starts @ 6pm. Tech opens @ 5pm, closes @ 8pm. NED closes @ 10pm.
Basic safety equipment like boots, pants, helmet, longsleeve shirt, etc?

[Jim]

hey jim, almost 5k posts!!:Sig73:
this ones for you buddy:Signal73:

[wisslin6oh]

now that work is not an issue, I should be in Epping friday night, and looks like a day in Milford Saturday:smokin:

[97dodgectd]

Basic safety equipment like boots, pants, helmet, longsleeve shirt, etc?

im pretty sure just pants and a helmet are all you need, i could be wrong. i had no long sleeve shirts on when i used to go to ned on a weekly basis. just tell them you think your gonna run 14.50 or something and you'll get a tech card.

[wisslin6oh]

its been a while since ive been, but last i knew, a helmet was required under 14 secs. there was something else required but i dont think long sleeves were. full leathers and boots only required for bikes i believe
tried looking into their website, but it seems to not want to work at the moment

[onewhl750]

Helmets were only required if running under 14 secs. Seatbelts must work and be used. I didn't see anything about long sleeves, or pants. Long pants, boots, leather jacket, gloves and helmet were required for bikes.

[wisslin6oh]

NED Handbook (http://www.nedragway.com/html/home.php?dest=handbook), Click the link to street night, and all basics are covered:professor:

[dieselnomad]

:nutkick: DON'T FORGET, YOU MUST HAVE ALL OF YOUR LUG NUTS. WHAT A :nutkick: :falldownlaugh:

[DOUG]

Basic safety equipment like boots, pants, helmet, longsleeve shirt, etc?

Closed toe shoes (no sandals or flip-flops), pants, helmet for 13.99 or quicker, shirt with sleeves (long or short, no wife beaters or tanks).

Battery hold downs (no bungee cords), ALL lug nuts (thanks Art), neutral safety switch (starter must NOT engage with the trans. in drive), and of course seatbelts).

[Jim]

sounds good.

[wisslin6oh]

Forgot to check, what time do the festivities begin in Milford thru the weekend? I checked but didnt see anything, maybe i missed it:smokin:

[onewhl750]

ANyone know how much it costs to get in? Racing, watching?

[DOUG]

Racing is $20.00, watching is $10.00.

[dieselnomad]

Just to slightly enhance that (DOUG, correct me if I'm wrong :D) If i remember correctly, if you go and want to race it's 20. watching is included in that.. lol

[DCreed]

anyway it is still cheaper than the fuel to get there!!:wtf2:

[onewhl750]

Is that 10 bucks a person, or carload?

[dieselnomad]

anyway it is still cheaper than the fuel to get there!!:wtf2:

YA, that's why it's a select outting for me now... used to be whenever..

Is that 10 bucks a person, or carload?

Always alone so i don't know. I suspect for watching it's per person. BUT i am not sure on that.

[wisslin6oh]

Is that 10 bucks a person, or carload?
i want to say its $10/head if youre not running...i dont know how much has changed since the last time i was there 3 or 4 years ago

[96dodgectd]

what time do the drags start?
lets start a list and time for travel so maybe we can get a convoy goin!:HoleShotHolset:

so its getting close. that list should probably start forming :idea:

I'm going, don't know exactly when

[DOUG]

Just to slightly enhance that (DOUG, correct me if I'm wrong :D) If i remember correctly, if you go and want to race it's 20. watching is included in that.. lol

:smilielol: You are correct Art...the $20 for racing does include watching for the driver, for everyone else it's $10 per person.

[wisslin6oh]

everyone always sees convoys of hondas to the drags, but a convoy of diesels? havent seen one. id be +1 for picking a time everyone can do to get a big gathering. so i guess here goes haha

Chris - F350 - +1 passenger with video cam - no specific time to leave (yet)

PLEASE Remember to have a "MOMENT OF SILENCE SUNDAY" for all our lost Firefighters :professor::HoleShotHolset:

[ceno]

I'll be at the track Friday to watch and in Milford Sunday.:HoleShotHolset:

[Jim]

so its getting close. that list should probably start forming :idea:

I'm going, don't know exactly when
to the drags or dyno day?

Im still a tossup. If I have a boost leak Im not going, if I dont, Im in for the drags and DD on saturday.

Guess I better get to work on checking that leak eh?

[DCreed]

nothin like the last minute, eh!?
I just fixed my dang trans leak. hope to see ya there!!:HoleShotHolset:

[CTD735]

im a definate for the DD on sat. will be watching and hopefully meeting most of u guys in person.

[onewhl750]

So when do they decide whether or not the track is going to be open (due to the weather) and how do we find out about it?

[Jim]

good question :idea:

Looks like it should clear up by tonight.

[wisslin6oh]

looks to be clearing for the rest of the afternoon. was hoping to be there, better not get cancelled...
those who are going, are the majority of us coming up different ways and at different times, or are we going to attempt to get something together?

[onewhl750]

I hope it clears, I drove from Va. to go to this stuff, and really don't want to miss out due to rain. I will be coming out of Concord, but don't know what time. Trying to get in a good lobster dinner at the Weathervane since we don't have good lobster in Va.

[wisslin6oh]

I think theres only one still open if my memory serves me right, i know the one in merrimack closed...and i forget which other one.
in case you did not know

[DCreed]

:wtf2: is with this crappy weather ?!? How do you know BEFORE the 2-3hr drive if they'll be open????:poke:

[onewhl750]

I think theres only one still open if my memory serves me right, i know the one in merrimack closed...and i forget which other one.
in case you did not know

There is one just past Concord on Rt.4 and there is still one in Kittery Me. With diesel prices the way they are, I really hope I don't have to drive to Kittery, but I did drive from Va to go to NED, so crazier things have happened.

[sooter]

there are plenty of places with lobster in new england.

i believe the weather will clear up, i was just up in concord and the rain was stopped. i gotta see if i can get some mowing done today so i don't have ot do too much tomorrow morning so i can make NPD.

[CTD735]

is there anyone down my way in mass that would be up to convoy? we can meet up somewhere on the highway or sumthing.

[Jim]

Well after $18.63 in adapters from Home Depot to get the boost leak detector at the shop to mate up to my bottom turbo its for sure my intercooler took a dirt nap so I wont be at the races tonight.:oops:

By the look of the end tank I could have just started it up and sprayed soap on it and it would have shown..:smilielol:

There is a Weathervane in Salem NH right on rte28. If NED rains out, we should all meet there. Or maybe tomorrow after the Dyno.

Doubt it at this point, unless someone wants to car(truck)pool tomorrow.

Lowest h.p # went to Mark McCalveys 07 Team Losi LST with .15 h.p.

We want to thank everyone who helped and or attended. We hope to see all of you again next year, (or sooner).

[onewhl750]

Ben, Cathy and Diesel,

Thanks to you guys for opening up your shop for us to hang around and talk diesels. I had a great time and really appreciate the oppurtunity to talk to people, look at other trucks and get some ideas for my truck.

(Does kissing a** get me a discount on all my stuff? :crossfingers:)

Seriously thanks for still putting on the open house.

I've seen stacks like that before, I always think... :wtf2:

DOUG's truck looks really different with a cap on the back. Lookin' good though, a real sleeper... :HoleShotHolset:

We'll see how much of a sleeper it is....heading to the track in a few.:popcorn: I hope it doesn't slow the truck much...:smilielol:

[dieselnomad]

If it's a fiberglass unit like mine it probably weighs about 300lbs.. but, should help with the aerodynamics, right?

[DOUG]

I'm thinking it weighs less than that, only took two of us to move it and I'm not that strong...:smilielol:

Welded the clutches in my tranny tonight, towed home, another trip to Scotts coming soon :nutkick:

[killed300ex]

sorry to hear that Doug hard luck with the trans this season. Hopefully you will get the issues straightened out soon. You make any passes with the truck before the clutchs welded?
Either way good luck with the trans

[Jim]

Doug is that from staging?

[DOUG]

Doug is that from staging?

Yes it is...45K miles on the tranny, hundreds of passes at NED, it was due...

Dang it man why not?!?!? :lol: Take your time, we're not waiting or anything.... J/K, hopefully you got my truck in there and if not, then it will be cool to watch some of the trucks I didn't see after I left.

[DOUG]

any #s or video? its been near a week, were the #s that bad??:stirthepot:

You should have made the trip up....:nutkick:

[DCreed]

I was going to race @NEdrag then hop over there ,but...RAIN!:TqT: Also I got a TC that cant hold over 435hp so thats as high as she'll go on the dyno. Hope to fix that soon and be more enthused about running!:)

[CTD735]

im pretty sure i got your truck. its blue right?

[onewhl750]

im pretty sure i got your truck. its blue right?

Yea, I was the fourth truck on the dyno I think.

[Jim]

who was the 700+ duramax fella? Is his the white truck that runs 11's?:popcorn:

[Jim]

Cathy should be posting results on our website tonight. I can say that the winner was Jay Lehtonens 02 Duramax with 680.22/1033.5 on fuel and 772.3/1206 on drugs.

Lowest h.p # went to Mark McCalveys 07 Team Losi LST with .15 h.p.

We want to thank everyone who helped and or attended. We hope to see all of you again next year, (or sooner).


Ben, Cathy, and Diesel

:HoleShotHolset:
I missed out on a good time cause of truck issues but yeah there is always next year. I hope Dave had a good trip both ways this year also, the trip to NH always seems to jinx him with some kinda equipment trouble:dunno:

[killed300ex]

who was the 700+ duramax fella? Is his the white truck that runs 11's?:popcorn:

you taking about the jet concrete truck? Its white? I dunno as I wasnt there but the first name is right. Im sure Dave or Doug could tell us.

[wisslin6oh]

his old truck was pretty effin sweet...used to work for a pool company that he did our concrete work for. havent seen him in a few years, but if its the same jay as before, those are close to the numbers he used to mention when i asked him what the truck was capable of:crazy:

[DOUG]

Yup, that's him. I haven't seen him at NED this year...yet.

[killed300ex]

Yup, that's him. I haven't seen him at NED this year...yet.

What did he end up doing to the truck over the winter? Did he end up puting a cage and twins like he had talked about?

[sooter]

so mike from ohio didn't dyno? any new info with his truck or his pumps?

i'm still PO'd that i didn't make it!

[NHRedneck]

What did he end up doing to the truck over the winter? Did he end up puting a cage and twins like he had talked about?
well he put in a lowering kit that puts the truck lower than a stock 2wd truck, yet hes still running 4wd. no cage yet, and no twins just yet either.

so mike from ohio didn't dyno? any new info with his truck or his pumps?

i'm still PO'd that i didn't make it!

mike from ohio didnt make it to the event, but if you want info about his pumps then just call ben, he knows how to get in touch with him. why would you care bout his pumps ne ways? did he start doing modded cp3's?

[sooter]

no, i was just curious since when they first started coming out there were problems with the reliability. now i see a lot more trucks running monster vp44's.

[NHRedneck]

What did he end up doing to the truck over the winter? Did he end up puting a cage and twins like he had talked about?

CORRECTION the motor is still together, just internal failure of some sort like a melted piston. guess my souce didnt get all the details to me, MY BAD

[DOUG]

so i heard through the grapevine that jay ran this weekend @ NED and that things didnt go to well. only got in 2 passes down the track on nitrous then spread the motor across the track.... :nutkick: guess he just needs to drop a cummins in that thing :stirthepot: :Signal73:

Yeah...but how were the two passes he made?

[Ben@npd]

Not true, Maybe a melted piston. It runs, just a little rough.

[NHRedneck]

Not true, Maybe a melted piston. It runs, just a little rough.

yep, you got the right info ben, my source didnt get all the details to me. i got the whole update later on today. already corrected the prev post.

[BelgianMagic]

i see john d still has the uber gay stacks:yankyank:

I thought those were Rod holders for "Trolling" in the pickle parks:ptown:

[killed300ex]

that what I was talkin about

[DOUG]

omg, you can't just put some new clutches in it?

Nope, it took the intermediate shaft and converter with it, as well as some other parts. Scott was able to save the billet input shaft.

[Jim]

Seems to be par for the course for the DTT's with some miles on them.

[killed300ex]

jim you gotten your truck up to scott yet for your trans noise?

[DOUG]

Seems to be par for the course for the DTT's with some miles on them.

I wonder how some of the others would have held up to the abuse I've put this one through...:dunno:

[Jim]

jim you gotten your truck up to scott yet for your trans noise?

Not yet, when the M. Falcon is eventually finished it will be swapped out in its place.
