Ryan Tucker Diesel Dragster Update
When we last spoke with Ryan, he had plans to compete over this past weekend. I checked in to see how it went for him.
"Right off the trailer, I made my quickest pass to date, and it was on diesel fuel only. On the next pass I decided to wheel open the bottle and make an effert to run my first 4 second pass. I left harder than I ever had before but the input shaft was having none of it and let go. It was the super high dollar 300M shaft as well! I'm looking forward to the world finals in Sept. for sure! I really believe in these ARP Custom Age 625's so far. The reason for the new better E.T.'s is putting a stronger tune up in the car that I couldn't before due to head gasket failure. injection timing is everything in making power and I've had to really limit myself on total boost pressure and static timing in the past. I'm slowly dialing her up, as long as the studs hold and there's no gasket failure, there's LOTS left in the car. Give a big thanks again for me to the whole ARP family!! A 5.46 @ 126 on just diesel made my day!

How's This for Something Different?!
After 18 years of drag racing, Ryan Tucker of Terrell Texas was looking for something a little different. I think he found it! He runs in NHRDA. Congratulations on your success and thanks for letting us be a part!
1,600 Horsepower Duramax Diesel Kit from PPE
At ARP's Open House in June of 2010, PPE brought several of their show motors, including this Twin Turbo Duramax diesel kit that utilizes a lot of ARP hardware. It makes 1,600 horsepower and PPE only uses ARP fasteners to hold everything together. Eric Sempson of PPE gives Chris Raschke from ARP an overview of this powerful engine package.
Ron Main Presents Bonneville Hot Rod Trophy to Mike Holzapfel of ARP
At the recent ARP Open House, Ron Main presented a replica of the Hot Rod Trophy the Speed Demon team won at the most recent Bonneville Speed Weeks, to Mike Holzapfel, president of ARP. Speed Demon set a new record of over 435 MPH to become the world's fastest piston engine vehicle. ARP has worked with the team for the past several years to provide all of the critical fasteners that hold the car together.

FASS Diesel Nationals, O'Reilly Raceway Park, Indianapolis, IN
This was the PRO-MOD Sled Pull Class Win.
Since Curt Haisley was busy with his wife, having a baby and couldn't run his truck- his father Van Haisley took the truck and made a winning run.
