My ex-wife and I used to go to the track alot and she started bracket racing with our '42 ****** jeep that had been a sand drag NHRA record holder. We converted it to 1/8 mi and got it in the mid 6's N/A on a very low budget. I shortly realized that women can be excellent drivers, she used to smoke everybody on the tree...so I figured why not let my current (and last) sweet little woman give it a shot too. BTW she cut an .04 light on her first pass!

I remember your truck, I noticed it was badass. I don't remember for sure but was that the pass that I sat there and stalled a couple extra seconds or not. I know you were cutting some kickass times...surprized me...nice truck.
The ZO6 sure was a beautiful car and he was drivin' the **** out of it, cut some good lights too. It sucked that I didn't leave harder that run, but he did run me down. I'd trade.

Very nice time. Sounds like you're getting that traction you were looking for.
