Nice job SKANK. What track were you at?
I ran my best et last weekend before I blew my motor.
12.646@105.09. Can't wait to get my truck back together with a ***** load of mods.

Skank Dog Nov 4, 2001 09:30 PM

Thanks fellas- It did feel good hittin' the 12's!:D
Justin-Where did you blow your motor up at? Man, I hate to hear that about anyone! Good pass though!!! LOL! We were at Hallsville today. They had a street car shootout type deal. I was the only Lightning there!:confused: I wish I knew how to load this thing on here to show ya the nice 1/8 mile burnout vid! Literally from the tree to the 1/8 mark, you cant see my truck for all the white smoke!! :D How the hell do you get all this rubber off the truck??!! Its been a pain in the a$$!!

Great run Skankdog:D
I know what you mean about spinning like that, Remember me @ ennis before the slicks:(

Anyway what method did you use to launch to the 12 on the F1 tyres?

Skank Dog Nov 5, 2001 09:31 AM

Hilander-How are things going with ya buddy? I made that 1st 16.80 run on my first pass with the F1's @ 32 lbs.!:rolleyes: I kept lowering the air pressure. Seems the lower I got it, the better it ran. Went,12.97,12.96, then the 12.95 on my last run. The 12.97 pass my speed was 107! WTF?
Anyways, after lowering the air pressure to 24 lbs. I just stabbed it off the line. I still had a little wheel spin, but nothing like the first run! LOL! Everyone Ive talked to says the times at ennis are usually 2 tenths better than Hallsville because you can hook up better on that concrete. So I dont feel too bad about my 12.95.
With cooler temps, mine should run better. I have just turned over 3000 miles also.

Congrats Skank. Let me guess, you want to go faster now like everyone else? :)

Skank Dog Nov 5, 2001 11:19 AM

Frank S- How did you ever guess? LOL! I told myself if I could just break the 12's Id leave it alone and be happy. Well.........I WANT TO GO FASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D Looks like I may be calling JL soon!
I want to hit the 11's now like Jl and Totaled!!:D

Jay Lincoln Nov 5, 2001 09:03 PM

Congratulation's ShankDog. Like you, I'm going to try to run some 12's. It's easier said than done in So. Cal.

I can help you with your traction problems. The Truck-Traks are helping customers improve on F-1's too. They have really shown improvements with the ET Streets.
