Beautiful car man. Really nicely done. I've never been into drag racing and honestly always kind of thought it was, I don't know, simple or something. Then I started watching that Pinks all out. The one were they get ~300 cars and create a field of 16. Man I am fricken addicted to that show now!! The adreneline rush looks huge. I really love all the comeraderie there is in the pits and the exicitement in general. There is a lot more technique and timing involved than I realized as well. I've been road course racing for seveal years now, but I'd love to try the strip. Only down side I see to drag racing is the same as raod course racing. LOTS of time working on the car for a small amount of time driving.
Very nice setup -car, trailer and truck. Looks great!!

Yep. Hours of work for seconds of driving.
Sorta like sex.
Weeks of chasing for minutes of pleasure.

After four months of farting around... during which I purchased no fewer than four trailers (one sold while I was writing it up, one got stuck on the assembly line when the bank foreclosed on the manufacturer, one got wrecked on the highway in North Dakota and this one) I finally hooked up my first trailer 
. A Pilgrim Int'l Cirrus 25CRSQB....
Drove from Calgary (Canada) down to Montana and the I-15 all the way to Vegas to pick it up. Pulled it back over the continental divide (6,870') at 75MPH but the 5.4L was working pretty hard in that thin air.
4,800lbs dry, 6,150lbs gvwr.

Well I figured I'd post up what I was hauling the other day. Just around 600lbs of granite counter tops. With the rear airbag assist kit at 60PSI, I didn't sag at all, the ride was still nice and I didn't notice any sluggishness either. Even lowered as much as mine these trucks are awesome. I'm going in soon to pick up the rest, which will be a lot more than last time. I'll take plenty of pics.
By the way, beasting these things into the back with only two guys was pretty damn hard... they're just so awkward to handle.

Peanut wagons. (but we use them for wheat, canola, millet, etc) These are empty. I just though it looked neat when I pulled in the driveway, so I took a pic.
These wagons are empty btw. If they were full their total combined weight would be around ~60,000-80,000lbs. According to what they had in them.
I'm just guessing, but I'd say that's about 15,000lbs behind the truck. I don't exactly remember what an empty one weighs, and the last trailer in the train is bigger than the rest. If you don't have a big one bringing up the rear, they will start acting like a snake behind your truck if you get above 30mph. I think the most I ever pulled was 5.
In all seriousness, once you get above 20,000lbs combined weight, stopping the truck (in a timely manner) and going down hills (safely) begin to get tricky.
