Irwindale 1-8-9

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.

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

$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).

Check out the link.

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.
