Geez not much action in here?

 

Yeah let's hear from the Dakota guys!

 

rtspeeddemon - 10.78 @ 131.22 is awesome. What have you done as for a roll bar?

 

Thanks.

I have a 6 point cage.

 

Thank you for the pictures. I was wondering how you handled the rear bars w/o going through the rear window. Very good idea. I personally don't like having to run the bars back into the bed. I assume that passed tech inspection? Of course every track is different.

 

Yep on the track inspection. They don't worry about a 6 point to much unless you creep over 135 mph.

 

You have the perfect cab setup for that. You didn't give up a huge space and you can still throw some stuff back there when you want.

Do you mind sharing a few more details about your truck? I'm assuming its not your daily driver. Upper 10s should still be tame enough to keep it street legal.

We're all too busy wrenching on our trucks to try to catch up to you KJ!

Couple more weeks and I should be ready to go. Fuel system is coming along nicely, waiting on some more fittings that will be here on Thurs. Then just waiting on the machine shop that has my brake booster.

Congrats again on the 10.7 buddy, and still more left in it!

 

That looks like one badass Dakota very nice.
