Default You know your truck is slow when..........

1. You can have a conversation with someone even as you ''hammer it''.

2. That semi starts to catch back up after his turbo spools up.

3. You can't do a burn out in rain, sleet, or snow (lol).

4. Your 0-60 time is a double digit number.

5. Your E.T. for your 1/8 mile doesn't even make a fast 1/4 mile E.T.

6........

I thought it was cool that my sunshade slides back about 4 to 5 inches on a hard launch in my H2. I realized on my last 14.65 run that I had time to reach up and close my sunshade and then realize how lame that was that I had time to do it BEFORE I even go to the traps

6. You're excited when you catch an Escort at a light because you know it will be a "GOOD" race.

7. You have to turn off your A/C to pass a bicyclist.

8. Maintaining the speed limit going up a hill is a losing proposition.

9. You get out-accelerated frequently by vehicles who are not racing you.

10. The only way you could break a 14 is if your truck was dropped out of an airplane.

11. When your Mom beats you to the corner on her bike

12. When not even that guy in the rusty honda takes you seriously

13. When they do a round of track prep between your launch and your traps

14. When the tech inspector just laughs and waves you through

15. When you get a ticket for going too slow for the speed of traffic

When you can't air dry your truck after a wash.

When you ask for people to race you in reverse rather than giving you a head start.
