I Had the FASTEST L at Englishtown tonight!

That will be the only time I will EVER be able to say that.
Only 3 Lightnings there and the other 2 were stock.
I got 5 RUNS in tonight at englishtown!!That is the only time I will be able to say that also.

Overall track conditions were terrible.Race all night in the fog.Had my 20s on with 295/40/20 tires.Will never do that again unless somebody can tell me how to launch with them.Could not get better then 2.1 60 ft.The moist weather did not help.
The good news,bad news is I improved my times by 7 tenths over stock but the bad news is I am STILL in the 13s.13.07 to be excact.I did leave 3 tenths on the track with wheel spin so I know a 12.70 is in my future.
Were was every body? The other 2 guys never heard of F150online.I filled them in.One guy stock ran 13.3 with an 01.Then backed it up with 2 wheel spinning 16s.The other guy had a new (1000 miles) 02.He ran 13.50s.
Well that was my night.Was hoping to meet people on this board.Maybe next time.

NO TRACTION ??

I bet you didn't have any traction cause those numbers don't seem to good. I think I met you at willowbrook a few weeks ago, right after you went to see JDM. The set up you are running I bet you will be in the 12's, I hope if not I'm not gonna waste money on mods...lol...j/k

good to be on top at least once and 5 runs on a friday you are lucky

It was not the mods

It was the 20s and some inexperience.I race dirt oval. This straight stuff will take some getting used to.
Also I SPANKED 3 different moostang GTs. The mods are DEFINATELY worth it.

Yes I was at the willowbrook mall show. That was fun.

The truck is a 12 second truck and I will be there.

You got me. The cat is out of the bag now about the pulley.It wasn't me though.Besides some guys in florida already had it.

Have to work St pattys day but I will be at JDM in april with some surprises.(shaker hood ,wiper cowl,exhaust).I guess they are not surprises anymore.

99 SVT bolt- Not a lot of people there.Plus lost(wink,wink)my ticket after the third run and mysteriosly found it after the forth.It did not mattr though because i was getting so frustrated with the traction (or lack of) with the foggy ,cloudy weather.
