I'm gonna hav esome interesting pics for ya'll after I find the rest of the pieces tomorrow. 
I think it went pretty good. I know there was a new best, I'll let him post up if he wants. There may have been more than one. I had a new best for the 80e. 12.63 @ 107.57, and that run was a little tanted. I think I did at least cross the traps before it let go, but I still think that was causing me some problems on the big end.
There was 1 (yes ONE) Hemi truck that showed up of the 3 or 4 that were suppose to. Kinda sad if you ask me.

I finally found out what was giving me the KR right on launch. The left header collector was smacking the frame. There was about an 1/8" between it and the frame. I loosened it up a little and twisted and the KR went away. I added 3* of timing and picked up .03 and 1 mph. I think I got a little more wheel spin off the last run, otherwise it would have been less than my best so far which is 12.59.

Yep I was the only Hemi, I was dissapointed that no other trucks like mine showed up. All in all I had fun, had some good close races, I think a couple of guys were surprised, I definatly was by an extended cab that ran faster than me on one run. I sorta feel sorry for the one that spun real bad with the Hemi Killer decal. Good luck on finding your parts, I hope you stay an enjoy the show tomorrow. I could not get my 14, last run of the night was a 15.003 at 90, the damn thing just wouldn't do it

I hope he doesnt mind me tellign but it was his driveshaft!! It snaped in half and he only recovered half of it and the yoke wasnt part of what he found! I felt really bad for him man it snapped going over the 1/4 line! I got some pics if you need but im sure you took a few! I couldnt launch from the left lane. I lined up with a civic and I was in the left he ran like a 15.9 so I asked him if he wanted to run againg and let me be get the right(since it wa sthe only working for me) and I ot the hoel shot and about the 1/8 I looked beside me and all I heard was that little b*tch spraying passsed me. He ran a 14.8 I ran a 15.8!
I will be spraying in two weeks regardless of the mad sh*t CARAZYCUTER4.8 was saying. We need to hook up in November for another meet when they start running at noon! Some of you guys need to come over the Red River Raceway theres alot of rice to eat there!

Tiger's right, it was the driveshaft. That was a wild ride too. We went back this morning to find the rest of it and tow the truck back home.
Here's the pics I got of the shaft.

There is a huge dent in the side of the fuel tank. The muffler has a little dent in the front of it as well. The crossmember was beat up a little too. I just hope the output shaft on the trans is ok.
