Fast forward to this summer
I haven't done anything to the truck in months. It's just been too damn hot.
I ditched the Vic Jr and NOS BigShot plate for a "stock" 78mm truck intake and Nitrous Outlet plate
Excuse the dirtyness. I've neglected under the hood for quite some time. I live on a dirt road so it's hard for me to justify trying to keep it clean

Nitrous electrical panel...Progressive, BANG! button, fuel pump, and heater
Also got some new wheels and new slicks. Ordered some Bogarts but they weren't going to be here in time and I wanted to go racing at the El Reno Small Town Weekend deal. So I come up with these. M/T 29.5x10.5s-15 on Cragar wagon wheels that I painted black. They're not very wide wheels but I love that they don't stick out anymore.
A little bit of sad newsAfter 40k miles and 100's, if not thousands of passes the rear end gave out last night on a motor pass. Did my burnout and things didn't sound good at all BUT, I went there to race. Backed up, pulled to the line, just literally rolled out when the arms dropped and as soon as the the guy I was racing started to go around me, I stuck it and BOOM! The ol' auburn pro series said "Not tonight, player" LOL

I call this photo sequence..."Rear end says 'I bid you adieu'" lol
I made it about 8 feet before the rear end said "I can't take this no mo!"

New stuff goin in. I wanted a spool or mini spool atleast but the rearend guru for these trucks said nobody made one? Oh well. Went with a Detroit tru-trac and some more 4.56s
Still haven't got to put these on but, also got some Smith Racecraft Assassin track bars and some qa1's for the front and rear.
Took it to the track back in June to try and make the first real passes of the year and didn't have any luck at all. The 29.5x10.5 mickeys I got were only supposed to have 15passes on them, but we think those 15 passes got put on about 15 years ago lol. They weren't even close to being sticky even after doing two burnouts before the same pass.
Loaded up next week to head to Sallisaw to race lamborado. The ol' black truck busted that ass lol
