Default 10k tq in the southwest is done!

Well it was a total success!!! over 60 truck showed, we rolled 39 and raised well over $2000! (still have 2 more donations to collect that will hopefully bring us over the $3k mark!)

We had a big HP megacab that laid down 948 hp 1919 tq and broke the strap on a pull! (that was scary)

lots of people, lots of music, smoke and good times!

thank you to all that came

Team XLR8R (Farmersville Texas)
RowJ from Oklahoma
Wildcat (Phoenix)


We also had a dealer shootout (Melloy Dodge, Don Chalmers Ford and Galles Chevrolet) Well the big Dodge took the trophy home at 269hp (12 more than GM and 47 more than Ford). These were bone stock off the show room trucks still with dealers stickers all over them and we put them on the rollers to get real life numbers! It was fun runnin the Dodge on the rollers, that 6.7 does pull pretty good and I even thought about sellin ol black and gettin a new one!

Many others from out of state and thank you for coming!

Flash Automotive is already talking about hosting next years event!

Thanks Wildcat for all your help and You too ANDY!! I could not have done it without your help!

We also had a nice bomb party at my place before and after the event. good times!!!
