Default 13.9 @ 96 from Z71!

Does anyone know anything about this truck? It made the above pass today at Texas Motorplex, and it was definitely impressive to watch. I'm sure the Lightning in the other lane was trying to figure out what was going on. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> It got sideways on the launch, and he also had a little wheel hop. Anyone else see it?

I will take credit for that run. Everyone loved it when I pulled up to the line and purged beside that lightning.

1.925 60'
8.84 1/8th @ 79
13.925 1/4 @ 96.8

I had wheel hop pretty bad. That launch was in 4HI, running about 85 shoot of nitrous (I couldn't find 100 shot jets <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> )

Trevor, that's my buddy, BigTex. Bolt-ons, Hotcam, and a little juice. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

His first run he smacked a new Cobra. BWHAHAHAHAHA

That's AWESOME Big Tex! I have your run against the Lightning on video, and I had to watch it a few times. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> My friends were telling me about the run against the Mustang, and they were ROLLING! You have quite a bit to gain if you can get it to hook, but you already know that. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Thanks Trevor. Any way you can get that video on the net or emailed to me? If you don't have the computer equip to do it, I can take care of it, if I can get a copy of that tape.

Let me know.

Richard

Richard,

I don't have any way to get it on the net, but it wouldn't be a problem getting you a copy of the tape.

Anyone else get his first run on tape of him busting the Cobra? I need to tease some Mustang buddies while the iron is still hot! <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Trevor, If you're going to FAStech anytime soon, you could drop it off with Sean. I'm getting my clutch in next week, so I'll be there. Plus I'm usually hanging out there a couple of lunches a week.

I am pretty sure I can get the vid of the Cobra race too.

Trevor, what format is your video tape? 8mm or VHS or something else?

Trevor, I hope that old camera has picture stabilizing, because that truck was bucking like a bull at the Mesquite Rodeo.
