thanks man, hopefully i can learn a few more things along the way!
just out of curiosity what gear did you pull in? this was the first time i pulled in 4th/4low because the track looked like it would grip pretty well, but i wonder if more wheel speed in 2nd/4hi would have done better.

Seriously I thought you had a great pull. You have a stout running truck. Maybe one day mine will run decent enough to pull

No one has said much, but I dynoed my truck and won the dyno event with 1113hp and 1992 torque.I wanted it to be higher but when we went to dyno again on saturday we realized the fass had quit.I fixed the pump and tried to make a pass.I launched the truck pretty hard and blew the compressor housing off right past the 330' mark.Truck ran 12.50 at 80mph.Maybe Ill have better luck in few weeks when I go back to the track.For the record my truck now holds the record for Dunbars dyno.

Good luck with the next run once you get it fixed!

Hey Chris, did you ever make a pass in your truck without the throttle linkage coming off? I only saw you make that one pass because I had just gotten there. If so, what did you run?

I ran a 16.9 in 2wd on my first pass...I was watching the other guy trying to do what he was doing, and forgot to slip the lever in
Then I cut a better light and a little better 60' and ran to a 16.09.
Then I cut a better light and a 2.0 second 60' time and the throttle linkage came off. I probably should have kept running, but I couldn't fix it right, and didn't want to make it any worse for the ride home!
My 19.5's were killing me out of the hole, but my race tires didn't come in time
Expect better by Indy...if I don't make 500hp out there I will be IRATE!

BTW, to help me save a little face, this was my first time ever on the track...I made lots of rookie mistakes
I need to practice a lot

Signature600: I saw your run, and was wondering what happened to you. Did you break, or what? I drove around in the A/C some, and was gonna stop and talk, but figured I wouldnt bother you since you were laying down in the back seat of your truck
Sig I had a view vids of your truck, including your coasting run!! Ha! jk your truck wasn't sounding too healthy, at least not what i'm using to hearing them sound like.

I think with my shorter tires I could have been a good half second faster...we'll see. I'm hoping to do some more racing before IRP/ORP and try to find a decent way to launch!

Anybody happen to have a video of a Green/Silver Dodge with a single stack pulling in the Street Class? I was one of the last pullers in the class and would like to see it.
Thanks,
Rodney
