    A big "Thank You" to Dale and Virgil!!!

    Guys--I cannot express to you how bad you need to have a Live Tune done. I thought my truck ran pretty well until I had Dale work his magic on HPT. My God... Dale is an expert at HPT!!! Even though we didn't get done until 2:30 a.m. on Friday night, he got my truck running badass! I cannot believe how much was left on the tables... It was a night and day difference.

    And then I was lucky enough to have the Virgil take a look at my tune and make some fine tuning adjustments. While sweating my balls off (100 degrees) at Denton on Sunday, my best run was a 9.86 in the 1/8th... I got the chance to hang out with some of the coolest guys around--Greg, Dale, Ricky, Jeff, JB, Pat, Virgil, Alan--and even our one and only Garrisson was there... He walked up drunk at 2 pm on Sunday! LOL...I wouldn't expect anything less from Gary... High five man!

    Anyway, we need to convince Ross to get us another Dyno Day again--now that I have a perfect tune--I WANNA TAKE ALAN'S MONEY!!!

    Hmmm...maybe. I need to go out and get the time slips and take a look at my time slips and post a pic. I was quoting those numbers from memory...

    But yeah--thanks for the help V--truck runs waaaay better now!
