Scheid 09 Photos and Vids

Here are the pics I took from scheids, just got back and it was a great time, got to meat some other forum members and just had a good time all around. there were a ton of people there. Cant wait til next year.

Now my bad luck with trucks did fail on the drive down, I couldnt drive my truck down due to my oil pan issues and the leak so my buddy was gonna drive us down in his OBS. So we get about 15 miles down the road and start feeling a slight vibration in the front end, all the sudden the truck slams to the ground as the drivers side front tire comes off the truck, all the lug nuts sheared off. We were goin about 55 and it went into oncoming traffic and hit a car depolying their air bags, had to have the cops, fire department, paramedics, etc. come out, the driver of the other car had broke his thumb and there was a pregnant girl in the car so they had to take them to the hospital.

The best part was that for the 2 and a half hours we were on the side of the road it was pouring rain, one of my good friends then was nice enough to drive from scheids up to purdue to pick us up and drive us down there last night, so I owe him big time. Here are two pics of our little incident

The wheel that came off, it kind of exploded and seperated from the tire

and after being towed

That Ohio CAT truck is so badazz. I have seen it pull 4 times and it won my double digit feel at every on of those pulls.

Thanks, if the dyno operator knew how to actually operate it he wouldnt have had such an innacurate reading, he didnt load it or anything so doug only made 387hp but 800 torque
