Some pics

I was literally the first site. Lol



Nates rig on the way home.



Waiting for the police escort to the drag strip. I followed Kevin and the traffic was hot and stop all the way there. I was so freaked that if lose vacuum/brakes and plow into the back of him! Luckily that didn't happen!



Clay hooked up some baby swag



Nates fly by vid


I didn't take many photos. I know Thomas did. I'm sure he will upload when he catches up! Lol

And YES! THE MISTRESS! Pictures definatly do not do it justice. Incredible ride.

Definatly somthing I won't forget. I have pics too I'm going to try and get up after a while.

One of my favorite things was just sitting around chewing the fat with everyone.

I was very happy with the way my truck performed on this trip, pulling the 5er. This was my longest pulling trip to date. When we got home, We unloaded the 5er, went up to the house and backed in the driveway. Hit the brake and it was hard as a rock! Opened the hood and heard the vacuum pump making this wierd noise. Yep, you guessed it.... vacuum pump shot! Looks like the good Lord was watching over us on our trip! He tends to do that when we least expect it.

My number one favorite part about coming was finally being able to meet some of you guys. Now when I read posts on here, I imagine the persons voice talking lol.

Not to give one person precedence over anyone else, but my 2nd favorite part: The Mistress. I knew Kevin had a nice truck, but as Todd said, pictures just cannot do it justice. Iv seen less clean trucks with >10 miles on them! That is a drop dead gorgeous truck. It made me nervous to assist with the seat rebuild lol. And a big congrats on Best of Show!

My two least favorite parts were the stupidity involved with the dyno and my fuel mileage... Both of which couldn't be avoided. The dyno crew was a joke (and NOT Clays fault).

On a side note, my truck runs 11.79 in the 1/8th mile

My girlfriend and I took several pics and plan on posting them up ASAP!

There is a huge list of stuff I could talk about but I'm not going to take up an entire page and bore you guys lol. Thanks for a fricken awesome time guys! Hope to see you ALL next year!


Thanks JP this weekend was great finally got to meet Todd,Aaron,Nate,Gabe,Thomas,JP,Brian and there family's. We go to a lot of shows but this is my favorite of all. We had a great time hanging out with all of you. I am ready for next year.

Here is a convoy pic. If you look closely, between Aaron and Tyler is little Toyota Yaris. After the event, we were making fun of the guy for getting stuck in the convoy. Kevin's wife Angie starts cracking up and proceeds to tell us that his DD is a Yaris! LMAO!! I guess when you have a truck as bad azz as the mistress, it doesn't matter what your other ride is! Lol



My buddy just got this for me. Going in the babies room!



Sounds like we both got lucky with break downs Brian!

I was having so much fun I did not take many pics but here it what I got.













This is the trophy for best paint. I did not get the trophy for the overall win because Clay is going to laser etch a pic of the Mistress on it. This is the nicest trophy I have ever got just what you expect for Riffraff Diesel.Thanks Clay

This is how I save money to work on the Mistress and you did not have to tell everyone my secret Todd LOL.

Glad you guys had a good time and good to hear you are coming back next year. I didn't get to meet you all but enjoyed meeting the ones of you I did. Be sure and share your photos and videos on the Face Book page we have set up and anyone here that wants to view it, just ask to join and we will make it happen. Already have a lot of good pictures loaded.
