New PB tonight at HMP!!

Great night or racing! To top my night off I got to put the hurt on a bright yellow GTO that sounded like the earth was coming to an end!! He did give me the Thumbs up after the race, but he did not want to chat..

Anyway I launched so hard tonight that my left tail light housing broke both plastic tabs off and it was dangling as I pulled into the pits!

Best Run:

Reaction 1.0510 (heh yep I was asleep)
60' 1.6734 (The second slip in the pic is a 1.64!!)
330' 4.8092
1/8 7.4995
1/8 91.03

In the below pic is my backup run. I have a few of the 7.5x slips! I think it is fair to say at this point I am in the 11's

I think with the new slicks the truck has some 1.5x 60' in it. The thing is I did not want to push my luck to much with nobody there to help me out if something quit on me.

Only slips this time. I could not find anybody to go with me. The GTO has me beating him on video his G/F was taping. However I doubt that video will ever make its way into my hands.

Thanks Lance!! Its the same duel stage 10.9 - 11.1 AFR 175 That I have been running for a while now. I spray 75 right off the lights. now the good thing is with the new slicks I can bring in the second stage about .75 -1.0 out!!

I actually think I would pull off my 1.5x 60' and run a tad faster if I pull my shots in to a single 150. I dont have traction issues anymore with the Hoosiers on 10 lbs. Actually it is more of a pain with manuel duel stages. for those of you that have cut 1.7-.1.6 60's you know what I am talking about!

Does anyone have a camera mount that suctions to glass?? I would like to get some in cab at the shootout.

I am just glad to finally see my truck running to its potential without the damn wheelspin off the line that has been killing my 60' time. It was cool to run the mustang that pitted next to me (came in on a trailer) and beat him by .2. Granted he did not spray and it was a N20 car, but it was still cool! I am still upset about my tail light I will post up some pics later. I guess the launch just snapped the plastic at both hold points.

got you updated HIC! Crazy how your mph is like 7 or 8 tenths slower but you picked 3 tenths in the 1/8. Those new slicks must be REALLY working lol
