Talking Joined the club today...with lid and tailgate

Everyone,

I am pretty happy!!!!

Went to VA Motorsports park for some T&T action.

Ran a new best:

rt - .595
60 - 1.89
1/8 - 8.308
1/4 - 12.97
MPH - 105.18

Other runs were all 13.0xx
13.00, 13.07,13.024, 13.023, 13.029

I am proud to say the pro-sport was on as was the tailgate!!!!

The only removed items were spare, hitch and factory jack.....

It started warming up a bit, or else I think I would have had some more 12.9s to show...

Thanks to Chris and Greg for helping out. Chris also set a new record(I'll let him talk about that)......

I can definitely say that the MT's are hooking much better the second time out. Of course maybe dropping 100lb's helped too...

Hopefully a few more mods will drop it even more!!!

Thanks to JL, Sal, Spiro and JDM for providing some guidance and tips..not to mention parts...

BTW, the capitan has been at full attention since that run..

Later
