Hey guys
Since I forgott my nomex jacket I had to keep my truck above 11.50 and since I ran a 11.62 in the test and tune run and a 11.67 in my first qulifing run I knew I was pretty close to be dialed in. Then when I got lined up next to Jim and knowing that Gators truck had no roll bar I figured it would be a close race.
When the light turned green I see Jim pulling away from me and I said what the hell is he doing?? At half track he has 2-3 truck lenths on me and all of a sudden I started realling him back in. Then I just blew by Jim, and once again was wondering what the hel Jim was doing.
He knew I was dialed in around 11.67 since he was tuning my chip, so he should have known he could have run right next to me.
Ya I got beet by Don Justice in round two, and if I hadn't fell asleep at the tree I should have beeten him. I ran a 11.60 an a 11.57 dial and if I had done a .0 anything light I would have beeten him. He crossed the finish line infront of me by a matter of inches.
Gator you need a cage in your truck, as it is one fast mother
and even though I love you, I am still faster head to head

I was next in the staging lanes and got a kick a** view if the Gator mobile ripping off that 10, anyone doubting the performance of the alloy block need to watch it launch in a race preped ride.

And I have a video to back that up. Heck I think I have 1 or 2 of it getting to the finish line a lot faster than mine.
