I will be running the truck tomorrow night at Irwindale. If anyone else wants to come join me, just look for a blue and silver 98 with a MAD MAX bumper. [guitar]

9.88 at 68mph.
2.07 60 foot.

My launch suffered a little because the lights started before I had it spooled. I only got to launch at about 5-6 psi.

I also only got ONE run because someone oiled down the second lane and they closed it for the night [verymad]

$20 for one frickin run!

Drag racing takes a lot of practice to get right. Hope you didn't wait for the green light like I did my first time. My worst R/T was .985, (talk about sleeping at the lights).

Not the first time, been racing cars for years. My El camino would cut .515 lights all day long and even had a .501 once.
