how much did the 1st gens weigh? it seems like all of the fastest were the 1st gen trucks. i assume none of those were daily driven?

 

The FAST gen 1's are all pro mod trucks.

 

What does "pro mod" mean?? Except for Jason's and Ralph's, they're WAY less "Pro Mod" than, say, Johnny's Gen 2. Jerry and Justin both still have full factory frames, except for the hood and bumper, all metal bodies.

Mine (#11 overall, #6 currently running) is absolutely stock factory body except for the wheel tubs, factory frame c-notched, factory front suspension with drop beams, factory interior except for seats, driven a few thousand miles a year on the street. Mike James' Gen 1 (#15 on the list) is even more factory than mine and is driven on the street all the time.

Without the shell and rear bumper, my tow rig weighed 4480 lbs. The faster truck weighed 4365 the last time it was on the scales, and I think it's probably a little less than 4200 lbs now and I hope to get it below 4000 lbs by the end of the season. Ralph's truck weighs about 2800 lbs, Justin's and Jerry's are both about 3100 lbs.

I'm gunning for the #7 spot overall this year. Have to get that before a true Pro Mod Gen 1 rolls out in September - you'll likely see a 6 second Lightning next year.

 

I just missed it with a 9.89. Oh well that will soon change ha ha. And mine will be a true street truck. Just some more valves, thats all.

 

I was really talking about the top 3. And let's not get started on JL's truck, lol.

 

I've moved up a little bit.

I have a different turbo on the truck now and hope that'll net an 8 second pass. If not, I'm putting those hose to it. Oh, and it's for sale.

Here's a vid of a run at the WFC - and keep in mind I drive it to and from the track. http://www.fmosracing.com/videos/wfc10/937.wmv

 

badass! it plants itself pretty good

 

203cree isn't up there. we all know he is trying hard though. damn buddy, when ever you are ready to turn wrenchs let me know

 

Thanks for posting this list -- it's a real eye opener...

holy boost batman... 7's??!!??

BTW, this list conclusively proves that red is the fastest color ( which I already knew in my heart! )
