Nice meeting Daniel. Wish we had more time to BS but you know how that goes. Let us know how it helps you at the track.

will do. the track opens in about another week or two. hopin for mid 14's we will see. honestly the thing pulls like a raped ape. still need to do a little tweeking with the trans, shift points and all. but other than that it sure is a lot of fun to drive.
it was nice to meet you and your family TWOBIT. i agree it would have been nice to BS alittle longer, but there will be other times.

you and your family becarefull driving back its supposed to rain later this weekend.

I don't know, but for me the track is much better for launching anything.

I guess the only time I've driven this truck on the track and lost traction was when the lanes first opened up, and it was mostly street cars that night. But traction did improve throughout the night. The first run I made, I think I was the 2nd person to be in that lane - and traction was non existent. I cant wait to see what it actually does on a good surface w/drag radials or et streets
