Summary
Todd poached a purse and the diesel community is not happy about it. He showed up to a Blue Collar class drag race in Phoenix with a high mileage Cummins truck, a nitrous setup thrown together the night before from used shop parts, and no real plan to win. Then he won. Now there are posts. Now there are opinions. And now Todd, Will, and Myer are here to talk about it. The truck was not purpose built for the class. It fit the rules close enough to enter and that was the whole strategy. A 62mm turbo, a 52 jet, and a flat foot launch that just happened to hook. No PDD resources, no race prep, no endless planning. The guys break down the full story, get into the spirit vs. letter of the rules debate that followed, walk through exactly what was on the truck, and dig into whether nitrous should be banned from the class or just opened up to everyone with a standardized jet.
