OK, SEMA and the Optima OUSCI. Boy did we see some cool $h!t. Cloud9, Snakebit, and many many more. Getting to meet some of these guys was a treat. So many great stories. The HRIA - a division of SEMA, the Hot Rod Industry Aliance, covers the Hot Rod and Restoration market. At their dinner, they made the announcement that the 'commercial sector' (trucks) was the fastest growing and strongest market. - nice.
Yes, we finaly got an Optima ticket!!!! There were 6 trucks at Optima this year. A clean 29 roadster p/u from Hollywood Hot Rods, that was non-competitive, and 5 C10's.

We kicked ass. There are 56 competetive entries. The slowest truck placed 24th overall. Trucks finished 12th, 15th, 16th, 22nd, and 24th. Congrats to all of the competitors, they did a great job. I know that StreetTrucks will be covering this event hard core, so keep your eyes open.

In Pleasanton we finished 2nd in the pro class. I had some tuning help from Mike Maier, who won the pro class in his 66 mustang with a 29.647. I ran a 29.941 for second, beating Brian Hobaugh's 70 Wilwood Camaro 30.140. Mike had been driving the truck as well and on his last lap of the day, after competetive timing, he ran a 29.430 in the truck, making it un-officially the fasted lap of the weekend.

Last weekend in Scottsdale, a three way battle developed in the pro class. RideTech's 33 ford, Roger Burman's 'Crusher' camaro, and our Hellboy C10. When the dust settled, we walked away with the overall win. The lead swapped many times. We ran a 30.341, Burman 30.645, RideTech 30.687. A few C10's were there in the truck class, which was won by the Schwatz chassis 51 chevy.

Our win in Scottsdale nets us 11 pro class points, and sows up the championship in Pro Truck. Third time in a row, No Limit takes the National Championship.
