this sounds like a load of fun. hopefully i have high speed internet by the time this vs video comes to an internet equipped computer near me!

 

You've been listening to too many Steve Coles. Not one of your statements are even remotely true. Once again, go do your homework before your open your mouth. One other thing, I didnt say anything about the DHRA record so are your going to start putting words in my mouth? Nevertheless, no one has gone as fast as Sidewinder has so at the next DHRA event I'm sure he'll be there to ESTABLISH what he already showed the world he can do. Never ceases to amaze me at how many of you boys come out of the woodwork to nay say what Gale accomplishes.

 

hey dangerous, maybe you should learn how to be a little nicer to our younger generation man, this last post you made was quite a ripping, though im sure phil has one to come back right up his sleeve, at least when he has time to post again before you rip him another, seeing as how he is a high school student and all......

oh, and i must say, screw banks, screw all the performance companies, the best trucks come from those who really know what in the hell they are doing, using components from any and every company that will get them the best combination to win wether it is on the drag strip, the pulling dirt, or the dyno.

thanks.

 

Guys just relax a little bit, OK. This fight is between Banks and Charlie Stewart. All the "bench racing" and "smack talking" in the world won't prove a single thing so let's just wait it out and let the track do the talking. There's no sense in taking shots at each other and getting hard feelings over something like this.

 

A ripping is always in order when someone trys to put words in my mouth and make up fabrications. Maybe the younger generation needs to learn to be more professional and only deal with facts. But, maybe I was a little harsh. No offense to you Phil because I dont know you personally so dont take it as a personal attack.


Nevertheless, what Gale has done is show that he's already has broken the 7 second mark in private testing. Bringing the truck out with the road race motor, after season, in an NHRA event and running quicker than any other diesel powered truck has run is just a precurser and a teaser if you will. Those that have been following the battle for the last 20 years between Gale, Charlie, and the Brit's will see this tactic used back and forth by all camps. This is effective marketing and no different than any other company does to try and apply pressure to the competition. I'm about to release a new product in about 6 months into the Oil/Gas business that blows our competition out of the water. We've leaked just a little bit of info giving a teaser as to what we found in testing to try and apply pressure to the competition. So far it's working because two of our biggest competitors are quickly trying to move into market regions with their existing equipment that we have a hold on which is exactly what we wanted them to do. It's the same ol battle just like between Ford, Dodge, and Chevrolet camps and it's this type of competition and rivalry that breeds marketing techniques and TV commercials. It's all good fella's. Healthy competition is good for all. That is why we race isnt it?

 

Okay I'll do my best to keep this civil. But you accuse me of putting words into your mouth.
Well when I said about him having the fastest land speed diesel was I putting words into your mouth? No. You left the statement very open all that tells me is any world record and seeing as to how this thread pertains to the Dmax typeD then I went on the assumption as that is what you were talking about. But that's neither here nor there right now. I never nay sayed what he did. I never said something to down his run. Yay yippy skippy his making a good statement for diesel drag racing, running a low 8 second run smokeless is great. But I like to look at the way Pat McSwain looks at it. Gas is so easy to get to run faster. You can get a gas engine tube car in the eights with so much less money than banks did the dmax typeR that makes those not in the "inner circle" of diesel competition sports think that it's not worth it to try to run fast. But if they Keating, Charlie Stewart, or the owners of DirtyMax had such great publicity as Gale Banks does then maybe it wouldn't be so bad. But as it is now with as much money as has gone into the project the thing should have come out running sevens. I love how whenever somebody goes against Banks and the way they bash other guys going fast that there is always one person who will stick up for them. But I guess that is the wonderful nature of this great nation. There will always be Catholics and Protestants, Democrats and Republicans, Dodge drivers and Chevy drivers, Coors drinkers and Bud drinkers. And no matter what you do things will always be that way. So in closing I say congratulations to Gale Banks and his gobs of money project. Give that money to me and I bet I can run sevens with a twelve valve, buy a tow rig and make it run a quick time at the track, hook back up and still pay for a tank of fuel to pull the "fast truck" back home.

 

Well, I'm done here. You chose to start a fight and it will only continue to worsen as we will never see eye to eye so the boom box is now off. Let the timeslips speak for themselves at the start of the new season. Good luck to all who are involved on all the teams running in the 8's and to those who are moving our sport forward.

 

A wise man once stated that you could walk up on a sane person and an idiot arguing and never know who the idiot is. So on the accord I will gracefully bow out. I have better things to do than quibble over such things that have no effect to your or myself financially. We gain nothing by carrying anybodies flag. But my parting comment, congrats to Banks.

 

Let me make something perfectly clear. I engage in healthy debate and have no problem with someone disagreeing with me. I address issues and dont attack people which is a big part of how I have gotten to where I am today. How boring would the world be if we all thought the same, talked the same and agreed on the same issues. If you want to lower yourself to personal attacks your going to find yourself in trouble. Once someone begins using such tactic they have lost the entire essence of the debate and intended purpose. I wont personally attack you and would expect that you want the same respect back from . Ponder the statement you made and re-evaluate your position.
