Had a great time yesterday. Hung out with Team XLR8R and met quiet a few members. Even got to see Mike in action with his welding!
Also shot some videos of TexasCTD running down the track.

BTW, someone posted pics from yesterday... http://kmk.smugmug.com/gallery/3643582#207832863

Had a great time. Didn't get to meet too many people since I was busy all the time it seemed. Here is a clip a friend posted up for me of one of my better runs. Not bad for a 8400 lb truck

I went with the wife and really enjoyed it, we got 107 pics and some videos and will post them in the morning. Lots of guys there and pretty much all the guys were nice, did they ever get the dr performance car to run good or just the 11 sec run?

The pics aren't mine. Someone took the pics and posted the link on another diesel site. I'm just passing along the eye candy.

Drillpipe, think I got one of your runs on video.

Thanks for the links to the pics MikeyB. I can pm you with my email for the vid. Thanks a million! I think WUnderwood got a video of my laughable run against one of the TS Performance trucks from the ET race on Sunday.

I had a blast trying my hand at the quarter mile. My 8288lb. pig was running consistent 15.50s with no boosted launches on the stock trans and my 1st time ever racing, inexperienced driving.

Good to finally meet you in person Brett (Rusty Shackelford).

WUnderwood (congrats on your awesome dyno run!!!)

And sorry I didn't get to meet you in person Drillpipe and CReed and im sure several others. Drillpipe...I saw your truck...but didn't know it was you. Im sure that may be the case with several DTR guys here!
