I raced my '00 Lightning @ Cecil County dragway this past Sat, and all I can say is what a track! They do a great job prepping the burnout and launch area. It was worth the hour and a half drive to get there. My truck put down a new all time best with a 11.841 @ 113.90 MPH. Stock blower, no juice, and a lot of bolt ons. Jim (JDM) gave me a custom tune at the track and the truck responded well, thanks Jim. Only one problem, after running 3 consecutive 11's, a track official hunted me down and told me to slow down or get a cage. I guess a cage is my next mod, when will it ever end? Also spoke with Johnny Lightning for the 1st time, and was happy to meet him, a really great guy,I use his powercooler and newest ram air setup, they both do a nice job. Until I get a cage installed, I'm gonna have to run on the F1's, and go slow, ugh. Thanks to all the great people that showed up @ Cecil and made it a real blast, John H.

 

Hey John, it was nice to finally meet ya. Your right about Cecil, well worth the drive. I tried my damnest, to get warned, but couldn't make it happen.
Been in the garage all day putting "Lucille" on a diet I'll try to make those officials warn me on the 12th
It sure was fun driving 2 hrs, racing and getting a new best time and then driving home. Thanks to Jim @ JDM I ran a 12.07@ 112.27.....Yeah Baby.
I might have also set a new best time from Cecil to Linden too

 

Yea Cecil is an awesome track. I'm so glad it's so close to home for me. I'll defiantly be back down there soon to run again!

Hey Gator
Sorry to here you forgot my name just so you remember by the 12th it's Adam.

 

i know this is gonna sound sooooooooo stupid. but uhhh. cage? what the heck is that?

 

Don's beautiful truck...

 

One more

 

that to keep the chassis together or just a safety thing? Thanks for answering the tard questions.

 

I had a 1.67 60ft. Stock converter, 28x10 slicks and Cal-tracks.

those interiors are so nice, can you flip up the middle bench/armrest (for those intimate drives w/the lady friend) ??? is it cloth or suede/prada?

 

Yes, it's a 'safety' thing--required by most tracks when you get to 11.999 or quicker.

The console does flip for a third 'seat' below it. The black is leather(inserts) and the gray is a suede-like fabric--altarra(sp), I think and that interior is stock.

Congrats Johnny

AWESOME ET

And that is sooooooo great to hear Cecil hooks good.

Because unlike Gator I will be driving probably 5 hours one way to get there April 12th, juicing it, and driving it 5 hours home the same day.

Map Quest shows this

Total Distance: 215.39 miles
Total Estimated Time: 3 hours, 44 minutes
YA RIGHT
For me to get from the end of Long Island to the GW Bridge will take dam near 2 hours alone ""with light traffic""
Plus I'm gonna stop in NJ and follow V the whole way.
Do you think I should get an extra Bottle of Nitrous so I can Juice V anytime he pulls up next to me "the whole way down", I can maybe bring a Video Camera and get it on tape time after time

It's gonna be a long day,
BUT WELL WORTH IT TO MEET YOU MANIAC'S

Don't you guys even think of having the longest commute....There was a couple of people from Columbus, Ohio in for this event. And it wasn't even a "major" event.
