Hey Lance, since I'm stripping some weight off the old 86, you should bring your truck over and we'll try pulling the bed and front bumper and remove all the glass, carpet and insulation among other things.
NEXT WEEK, 12.20's !!



Just kidding, but I did just get somemore ideas for my truck.

Yeah she loves the Moroso trick springs and new convertor I swapped in at the end of last season. I've had a few sore neck periods getting used to the launch, but I think that's a good thing! Thanks for the comments, although I think a 12 secon N/A 2 ton truck is more a sleeper than my Nova, but again I appreciate the comments! Good luck getting into the 12.40's!

Also, what was the DA yesterday anyway?
Thanks! Were you running the maroon Formula? If so I saw one pass, and she rips!

My figures off the National Weather Service and calculations show we raced in about 625-700 DA yesterday. So the air was better than I thought, but don't forget the tailwind we had most of the day always helps out as well!

It was negative for a few hours last week! My first run was -322 DA at 10 am, then down to -174 DA at 10:45 am.
