I finally broke into the 7's!
 
I see it's been very quite in here so I figued I would post my new personal best ET up.
I just wanted to let you guys know that I have been trying to break into the 7's for a long time & last Tuesday night 5/13/08 I finally did it! The truck is making a lot more power now & my 4 Link suspension needs adjusted because it seems to be driving the truck hard to the left on the Launch. It went a 1.23 60' before it made a move towards the wall so I got out of the gas to get it straight again & put it back to the wood & it still went a 7.9 :thumbsup: If I can get it back to going straight & put more boost in it. It should lay down a dumb number!
Yeah!, I'm still on Cloud 9!!! :beers:

Ralph, a big congrats on the new time, you've earned it!!

Only 2 tenths away from Jason's old 7.88 and the Lightning record. There is no doubt you'll shatter that very soon!
