Seth's Truck...
« on: August 04, 2009, 09:36:10 AM »
Can anybody here tell me what model of Seth Burn's C/PP record holding truck?  He set the record March 07, before I had ever heard of the ECTA and doesn't appear to have run since.  I'm just curious as to who/what I'm up against here.

"9487 C/PP Seth's Truck Seth Burns Mar-07 128.283"

Daniel, I did a little research in the record books and it looks like 'ole Seth came to Maxton in March 2007 with his truck, ran a 126.41337 MPH in the C/PP category that had a previous record of 117.54718 MPH.
He subsequently ran a 126.50044 MPH and 128.28371 MPH.  Three records that day.

He must have done what he came to do, because no one has even run in the C/PP category since then, so I'd say you are just chasing an old record, not competing with an active team in that class.

Good luck

Thanks guys.  I figured it was probably a HEMI due to the speed and the engine break.  It looks like there really just hasn't been much interest in the PP side of the house lately.  I woulda figured C/PP would be the most commonly entered since it represents most stock engines but what do I know.  Oh well it's still sure to be a fun adventure noe the less. 8-)

Daniel --

Production Pickup doesn't mean (at least in the SCTA) stock engine.  Take a look at the PP records in the SCTA Rule Book and you'll see what I mean.

In motorcycles, I understand, their Production bikes' engines have to LOOK stock.  But that is not the rule for cars.

Forgive me, I meant to type stock displacement engines.  My brain is moving faster than my fingers I guess.  The first thing I did was get a copy of the rule book and read it, several times.

If I remember right, wasn't that a black truck with some custom interior doodads?  I seem to remember a late model dodge out there running that event
