Race Day...We are set for NOON be there guys!!!

So I did some calculating this morning....

If my truck weighs 5760# and has 536 RWHP I will run a 12.76....done it..

Using the same calculations MADHAT running the same weight (NOT) and his 636 RWHP he should run a 12.06

I figure he is running about 3-400 lbs more than me....so..thats still a 12.30.

I can only hope I pull a .100 off the line and he pulls a .600 or higher. I HOPE YOU WERE DRINKING Mark!!!!

Weather looks good, should be a nice day at the track....

Sorry, nate, not drinkin. And, I'm going to take everything out of my truck that I can. I was thinking about using my OL's tires, taking the bed off and all the seats but the drivers... (just kidding) My weight is around 7600.

My r/t is usually pretty slow...

I want to see what my truck can do on these 35's . If I do another run, I'll put the stockers on.

Anyone have 2 extra jackstands? I have a good floor jack and 2 jackstands...

Mark,

I am using the time from my last run, the hp from yesterday and "calibrating" the online calculator.....It gave me that goofy weight for my truck. I know for a fact that my truck weights 6400 DRY .....

You laugh. The Dmax crew shows up with NOTHING in their cabs but a dash and drivers seat. All of their seats just pop out....kind of like a lego truck.

Come on I was pedaling it......... ok maybe not on that run but I did have to pedal both rounds of the Quick Diesel Class - first round I was lucky to not break out.

Our trucks don't like hot lapping and 12.5 was all it had in it for that run against you Mark. Considering what is done to the truck and the difference in our hp levels I'd say mine's not doing to shabby. Chris's truck is just sickening. He doesn't have crap for mods and runs 12.4s. Built trans, lift pump, shimmed Fuel Pressure Relief Valve, and that's it. Glad Kelly let me come out, I had a great time and the K-bar is sweet.
