Raced my dually at the track yesterday
My 8 second race car broke during warm up, we thrashed for an hour and were unable to make the call, I unhooked the dually and ran her in limited street. I was only able to get one time trial and was unsure of how to launch it. I went red by .125 and ran 15.799 at 85.7 mph. First round of eliminations I dialed 15.70 cut a .088 light and ran 15.85 at 85.5 and got beat by a better racer. Felt like I was being timed by a calendar. 08 dually, Smarty set on 60 h.p. dpf intact.

Easy launch about 1500 rpm, 60 ft was 2.17.
The whole thing was really painful, thought I was spinning, crew said not but it just wasnt going anywhere. I couldnt hear it, totally had to watch the tach just let it shift automatically. Good fun, got lots of laughs from my buddies. Cant see ever doing it again though.
