D&D and Staff - Total Class Act!

I personally believe it's only fitting to begin this story with showing our clients, readers and friends, an email that was just sent to Dale Roes in thanks for today

Dale

Just settling in here with a beer and about to work on todays promo . I
cannot thank you enough for the way we were treated today. I'm just glad a buddy was along for the ride and was there to witness what a classy/helpful and fun guy you are.

Can't wait to test the sled.. wanted to today on the way home but waited, I know the suspension's not right yet, so thanks for your tips on that as well! Dave did very well at Goose Bay, and we ran into Stan again.... think he's a "spy" from Yammi

All your staff were just Excellent, even the 'hitman' from Rhode Island
L!
Will work away here on the promo and pics and shoot you a link soon!

Again, thanks allot for your support of our project sled.... it's greatly appreciated! They can't say we have an F8 - F9 now! L!

Cheers and Continued Success!
Spenc [/color]

In saying that, I want to add, it's our privelege to meet so many people in the performance industry for everything from ATV's to TOP FUEL DRAG RACING. Having the opportunity to meet Dale Roes, his Brothers and all their Staff today and to witness the professionalism and excellence of their business 'first hand'.. it really blew us away!

Dale went out of his way to help us today, to show us all the different aspect of their respected business, give us tips on improving our success with the project sled.... even providing lunch!! Amazing! simply wicked people

Big Thumbs Up 2 You Dale

Oh.... look what "Hurricane Dave" is drawn to.... a sled right in line of what he's been running lately

Come away from that Dave before someone gets hurt! And yes, our project sled would make dog meat of that, so don't even think about beating us with our own 'kind'

That's unless Dale has had 'his' mitts into it... if that's the case WE WANT "NO" PART OF IT

Ok, Dale's been found, and after a quick assembly of some of the troops it's time for WORK .... yes Dale.... pull yourself away from that darn phone and show us your 'magic' !

Actually this was shot at noon when Dale 'ordered' us to eat freshly sent in PIZZA HUT..... sooooooweet! Only mistake is... He didn't know "Hurricane Dave's" appetite

Thanks allot Dale... didn't expect that!

There she be..... the D&D "Lie DETECTOR" and we've been just 'itchn' to get a piece of that! .... like since last years 124mph run on Graham lake in trail form that sent B.S flags flying faster than flea's off a drowning ducks back!

Strapped down and preparing for dyno, Dale HARPOONS our Project Sled through the belly pan. Yes, it hurt to witness, but We'll work on a plug for that later???

No... we're not filming HELLRAISER 7 ( "pinhead in Lowville" ), that's just a whole lotta 'stuff' needed to get this ride ready for the DYNO pass. Dale is like Christopher Loyd in 'Back 2 The Future' at this point... a mid-evil GO FAST Surgeon if you will We'll be over here lost in 'awe-ness' Dale... tell us when to pull'er ova!

"Hurricane Dave".... actually with 'Kahoona's' enough to be dawning SKI-DOO attire looks on in bewilderment outside the D&D DYNO CONTROL MODULE ..... murmors were heard from Machzzzz on the intercom " I can't believe they're actually going to make this F7 Faster!

"One more quick adjustment" ... Ok, whatever you say Dale, but from our angle???

I know we've just met Bro, but whatever is going on there ???

( I think he's got it caught in his zipper! )

That's actually D&D's Japan rep... oh ya.. make no mistake, they're taking over the world.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH

Time to play and whip up those stock motor HP #'s for all those freaked out Hardcore Sledder dudes

On that note Bill? ( Loonytune? ) All the Best with Your Racing Bro!

Call me crazy.... but doesn't Dale look like "WOLF-MAN JACK" here? that 70's hip celebrity DJ?

PROJECT FXR F7 MAX Horsepower is?

144.3

There she be... What's interesting here is knowing now that our max hp wasn't at 7800 where everyone said the 03 F7's were, ours was lower... 200rpm lower. Running at 7750 for 131.9mph in 3000' to this point , we were actually pulling 'off' our max hp. Advice was to stay at or just below, so we were right on the money.... all helping us achieve times that they said couldn't be done with 2 700cc cylinders and a single pipe. This proves what we wanted it to prove, that "ANYONE" can do what we have if they have enough time to test and enough patience to "GET'ER DONE"

Notice how fast our HP falls off at 8000rpm. We saw this a few times during our TOP END testing when trying lighter clutch weights. to the tune of dropping over 5mph on some runs... now we know why and read on as you will see how D&D has help us in this department CONSIDERABLY

And speaking of JUGS!! Get a load of these Beautes

Just the norm for D&D.. you'd swear this was TEXAS

[/color]

Notice the mag-light flashlight there for size comparison. Something has me thinking Dale and Crew most likey have it modified as well..... to the tune of ripping out the eyes of a dragon I'm sure

Did we mention the PIZZA rocked?

After a leisurely tour of the main showroom, dyno area, accounting and storage 'wings'.... Dale whipped us into his Hot Rod Dual'ee and took us down to 'yet another' location..... the PIPE and storage building

[/color] It was really impressive to see how down to earth and laidback Dale was... Mentioning they're now servicing the 'world' ... you get the feeling that this was all simply meant to be. A passion since they were kids, has turned into a virtual EMPIRE-oh-FAST. Only having spent half the day with Dale, I can honestly say...it's happened to a GREAT guy!

Into the pipe and storage facility we go....don't mind the dark skin dude ... he got that way from testing the new D&D 1000 Twin!

Well Spenc.... first we have to make up a mock up of a product we have an idea for, by testing til we're satisfied that we've developed a great new product ( dyno proven! ). Then we have outside companies make us up the part skins, we get them back and tig and weld them up here 'in-house'... ready to ship world wide by UPS KOOL....and that is ONE BAD A$$ single pipe... the D&D MONSTER pipe in fact
