I have to say that I am impressed with you guys' times. It obviously doesnt take a whole lot of mods on the new L's to make them rockets.

I have to wonder about the weight variances though. How could they be that far apart? Is everyone weighing with similar variables (driver in, full tank, etc)?

Just as a reference, my 2000 Dakota R/T Club Cab weighs 4460 in race/street trim. That is me in it (200), full tank, baby seat(:~)), soft tonneau, and Rhino Liner (60lbs).

I'm game for another east coast run. English town or Cecil county. Low air pressure, cool air, issues on truck corrected could make for some new best times. Let's not forget about a little partying in Spiroland. Let's set something up.
Just about anything liqud that requires an id to buy would keep the pit crew happy

red93,

It was nice meeting you there. You've got a very nice truck. Maybe next time you'll race that thing?

Lightnings are good for more than looking at, you know

Good to see you and the Mrs. again! Small "L" world huh?

Your truck looks really good. I like the powdercoated intake the most. Real Trick.

Congrads on second place. it is kind of hard to beat a vehicle with it's picture of the cover fo the event sponsor's catalog.

Look forward to seeing you at the WFC 2001. Mrs Speedin Bob will be in attendance.
