I think my suspension is what's keeping me from cutting a decent 60'. I did a 2" drop and I'm hoping that's gonna help, I just need to fix my vibration before I get it back on the track. I also need to look at a loop in case it happens again.

Damn and we came close to going over there this weekend but CARAZYCUTER 4.8's tranny is basiclly gone. He was still waiting for the 150 jets to try to beat his 4.8's best of 13.30

When is the next time your gonna run at Hallsville?

Congratulations on hitting the 11's!... although I was hoping to be the first. Guess it just wasnt in the stars I guess.
I a couple weeks ago I pulled off some lower 12's with similar 60' and 1/8 times but mine seems to fall off on the big end. (wondering if it is tranny/3rd gear related). Hopefully once we get some cooler weather here, I can join you in the 11's.

Just curious.. what do you run on motor??

I parked next a '94 Chevy pickup that ran 11.79 on motor. He says they are having a truck shootout in a couple of weeks. I'd like to put some cut outs on and try it again.

"There was a time when I didn't think this was possible but I did it today at Hallsville."

Shouldn't it be Hauls-***-ville?

Don't know what it runs on motor, I need to try that out one of these days.

Here is his slip all blown up.



I won't be able to get mine fixed and running for sure for another 2 weeks at least.

Nice times man, that kicks ***. I would never think a 5.3 would be in the 11's.

How did you get 15" rims to fit on all four on your truck? I would love to know, because that seriously opens up a lot more tire options for us. Did you have to do any grinding on the calipers? I wanna know!
