Buck's Comm truck shakedown runs.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we took the truck to the track for some shakedown runs this past Thursday night. The truck performed well for the first time out.










Also, I want to welcome Sandi Buchanan to the world of diesel drag racing as a truck owner and racer! Brian's wife Sandi is deadly off the tree. Her truck with over 300,000 miles is all stock except for some transmission work and ran 10.3-10.4 all night. She gave our friend James and his CR a run for his money, besting him 3-2.

That was at Piedmont, Kevin. Sorry I didn't let you know in advance but we were kind of rushing to get there ourselves. We'll be out again this week again.
