Post Finally in the 12's

My goal this year has been to get in the 12's, which has been an uphill battle considering my best till today was 13.5. Well went to the track today with perfect conditions and Sal's race program and ran two 12.9's at over 105 mph. What a feeling, LOL

Awesome times. Really shows the trucks' potential when you guys are getting good air. The guys down in Dallas this weekend got some good air, too. (baro press. was well over 30.xx all weekend, and air temps were in the mid-40s, low-50s for highs).

105mph shows a lot of power there.

Were you on F1s or a sticky tire?

Congrats Brian

That's great! Good luck this year on the Sno Pro. I'm trying for 12's too. Just waiting for my race chip.
