Unhappy What Is It?

I keep seeing a black GMC or Chevy ext truck with a pretty large oval chrome looking emblem. It has one of these emblems on each side and one on the tailgate.
I know that the emblem says something, but everytime it goes by I cannot read it.
Does anyone know what it says?

Jim

Yep, Joe Gibbs special. Usually has a Radix, exhaust, etc. Nice vehicles!

i was running next to him. that truck gets some mean *** 60' times for a stock stall on 20's. somewhere around 2.15 or something like that...all of the vho's are crossing at about that time and speed with similar mods.

I ran a 14.3 at 95 mph and some change the last time I was out. Maybe a little exhaust work would help him out some. 14.3 is a very good time for him though.

Was hoping you would ring in . I don't know what else to say, .....but you can check out my time slip guys.
Though I really think my trap speeds could be higher. I think Nelson needs to raise my 2nd to 3rd shift from shifting out at 5,800 rpm's to shifting out at 6,000 rpm's. When I play with it on the highway, it pulls pretty hard past the 5,800 mark. It even pulls hard after 6,000 rpm's. Nelson has my rev limiter set at 6,200 rpm's.
I really think the extra 200 rpm's will raise my trap speed.
What do you guys think?
I just realized I still have a free pass to race at HRP for winning my match race. I need to use it up pretty soon.
Thanks for the pass TXsilverado!!!! LOL J/K.
When are a bunch of you going to be meeting up at HRP?
