I wasn't expecting my truck to jump out like it did after lowering my tire pressure so.. technically, yes, he won. But from the distance between us at the finish line and the et he ran, I could have waited 2 seconds after the green light and still smoked him worse that he smoked those bfg's.

Ouch!!! I'm still in the learning process on the setup. It had to be the pass with you I screwed up the launch. You know I can give you a better run than that. You guys were right about the tires, though. My next two runs were a 12.64 and a 12.54, so I might be able to give you some competition. Just don't ever forget to turn that bottle on.
That was a great race between me and the mach 1, though. I think it ended up being 5/1000ths of a second at the end. I'll post what I got tonight. I have the run with us, but my gf only got me getting a little swirley.

.03 interval, damn good race.
I was behind you when you ran Big Kid. you did your burnout in the water instead of after it. Your tires were still wet,ergo sideways twice. You will be dialed-in and tough by summer.

Randy, when ever you figure out that you can't figure the 6.0 out, you can send it my way and i'll show you what to do with that motor. btw i'll have a nice 5.3L for ya. It's still bigger than what you started with.

since you were talkin trash i figured i would throw some out there too

I'll be ready for you guys soon enough. You guys need to make the trip north and come to "our" home turf! Jim, let me know when Memphis motorsports opens up. I'm ready to run that track, and I'm seriously thinking about Super Chevy this year.

To me, that's not slow. It's faster than I am, I would take that time in a heartbeat. Nice time!
