Been working like crazy! I did sneak away Friday night and make a quick couple of runs at SAR. My best was 13.7 @ 101 mph...he!! that's my best run ever! I was gonna give ya a shout but I figured you were out chasing some leg . I was on call and I knew if I gave ya a shout I might not make it back to Corpus that night. Low and behold got called out @ 2:30. So where is the vid? Man I want to see that awesome run!

Nice run bro! That truck is right on the money for stock.

I went out of town this weekend. I left friday night for Fort Worth. Had an open road event at MSR so I spent my weekend showing $90k+ cars what a truck can do.

Pictures of that event can be found here.

Talk to you soon bro!

Ok. Here are the videos from test and tune night.

1. My 12.39 second run.
2. Front driver cam of a 12.4 second run.
3. Side driver cam of a 12.4 second grudge match against an f-body with heads, cams, and exhaust.

Enjoy!

Track conditions are excellent!!! I have seen cars run 9's on wednesday night without roll cages....Steele might have some info on the roll cages.. e-mail Steeles e-mail list and we will meet you at SAR.

SAR is an IHRA sanctioned track. IHRA rules state that all cars 11.49 and quicker must have a 6-point cage.

Your truck should be ok, but that nasty cobra of yours might get into trouble.
