Yup he beat me again... he still retains the title.

You have to admit though that running a 12.40 at 112.5mph on a 4# is pretty damn impressive.

Next Year Rich.... Next year....

very nice. I think the fastest I've seen on just a 4# is 12.2, but the guy also had all the other bolt ons. I'd like to know your mod list as well, as I'm not planning on going more than 4#

He guys, thanks for the words of kindness.

As far as mods go, check out my web page. They are all listed there. It's really not that many all-in-all. I just try to maximize what little I've got.

Seeing how my truck is used these days (drag strips, small cruising, and mini vacations out of state)... I'm gonna maybe do some after cat exhaust work and trim some weight this winter.

I'm still on the fence about maybe a 50-75 shot of NOS. I donno? We'll see how my budget goes come spring time.

You should have brought him with you. My daughter had a blast running around the place & my 2 month old enjoyed listening to the engines in the stands.

We only had 4 RTs show up. They have a national event this coming weekend & most of them didn't want to chance hurting anything.

Well, He's 14 but in a power wheelchair, and he says He's board inside of an hour at the track without his older brother, who was out of town, they useually set up thier tv & ps2 in the van and bring a couple friends if he goes, (could be I've spoiled them) and if He's bored I'm not going to be able to enjoy my time (He knows what buttons to push) I'd love to have him be more into it, but part of it is he gets pissed that I'm spending time & money this summer on the L instead of getting started on his wheelchair vehicle project, (48 F-1 panel delivery). which is scarey enough, because I know he'll want to race it, once he starts driving I know cause last few times he spent the day at the track he was seeing how long of a wheelie he could do and find loose gravel on the pavment to do power slides in the chair. of course I hear this from the other guys in our car club,so we watch him from the stands, but as soon as he sees me he stops says he wants to go home he's not having fun etc.etc.

I was hooking just fine. I could have gone a little heavier off the line had I done a better burn out. (My line lock was'nt working)

Last time out I was seeing 109.4mph (two runs).
