I just wanted to say thanks to all the NCDTR 18 guys for all the advice and help on the truck. Also a HUGE thanks to John Porterfield for all the advice and actual wrench time on my truck. I finally made a 12 second pass "12.85@104" last night. I really wish it couldhave ben onmy home track in NC but Gulfport MS will have to do for now. Thanks again to everyone.

 

Congrats buddy!! John and the crew are some of the best aren't they!!

Thats for sure. I've only been gone a few months and cant wait to get back.

Thanks again John I would have never gotten it all started without you. It was good to talk to you on the phone today, I'll keep in touch.

 

Congrats Pete!

 

Nice time!!

 

nice time pete!!! are you or were you thinking of coming up this weekend for the event. if so, let me know, and you and your fam have a place to stay

 

I wish I could Jimmy but family things have me headed to Mo on thursday. I should be headed up that way in a few months for Sgt's course though. Oh and if you guys didnt catch it the 12's were updated for me last week. I ran a 12.71 @104. I'm pretty sure with new IC boots and the new filter on the way I can shave a millionth of a sec of that too

 

That's quick! Congrats.

 

Thanks David, hopefully next time it will be quicker. I still plan to tune it to a 12.5 fuel only then attempt to spray 1/2 a sec lol. This should aid in the master plan to someday put in a CR engine.

 

i swear pete, you change your mind like every 7 minutes or so. lol just kiddin, no im not

 

I know I must have had those wheels like 2 months lol. I dont wanna change much now just bigger twins bigger injectors and more nitrous.

 

Sweet times Pete, I am on your tail though!!!

 

I know, your gona have another few weeks you should have me by then. I'm headed out of town thursday so I cant break the truck before a road trip to MO. Then I probly wont be home in time the next wed to ge out to the track. I think after I get a few things in the mail (IC boot's and a good air filter that wont cave in) I'll get her down a little lower.

 

yea...i did a few maintenance things, hope they help. FWIRW ?I hope the truck is in one piece when i get back in town....
