Default Back from the track with a new best

Made 3 passes. The first being the only good one. The other two runs were traction impaired. Weather was great, sunny, temp in the high 50's.
Made the run in full street trim. No weight reduction other than no spare and no front sway bar. I leave those off anyway. Had over 3/4 tank of gas. Ran on Nitto drag radials on a set of 18x9.5 weld wheels
60ft------- 1.746
1/4 mile----11.958
mph--------118.008

Not too bad for a non intercooled Whipple, radial tires, full weight

Nice pass there Randy!!!! Sounds like you're getting faster every trip to the track. Can't wait to see it run first hand beside me.

I got it on vid, just have to figure out how to load it on here. I saved it to my computer. Damn image quality went to the crapper though. Looks clear on the camera and all fuzzy and distorted on the computer

I never could get the night you came down to Greenville on the computer worth a damn. I don't know if its the camera acting crazy, software problems, or my gf's damn crappy computer. Hopefully I'll get my hands on a true digital camcorder someday.

Nice time. That's very, very good for a truck in street trim. You know there's more in it if you go race ready.
