well went last night to HRP, got there put the e/t's on and went straight to the staging lanes... ran two 13.8@98 back to back with 1.9 60's... then I let it cool off and was going to run again without the juice but my friend got there on his lightning and we decided to run them... so I ran him on the juice.... by the way he just tuned and pulley his truck and put it on a dyno, 406rwhp and 523rwtorque!! we went at it I got a jump on him and beat him by a truck... I ran a best of 12.8 @105mph (1.8 60's) on the juice... and he ran a 12.7@105.... after that we ran again and I ran 12.9@105 to his 12.8@105.... then I made one more pass against a ~85 ford that has a built motor and spraying.... I've been looking for this guy for a long time, cause I raced him once on the street when I didnt have the nitrous yet and he sprayed on me and whoop my ***!!! so it was coming to him.... I got him by about 4 trucks!! so that made my night!!! right before I raced him his brother asked me what I ran and told him 13.7..... and this ford runs 13.4 on the juice, so they were pretty sure they were going to beat me.... but oh well guess it didnt happen this time... they didnt want none after that... so to say the least I got to hooked on the nitrous last night that I didnt try to run some more N/A runs..... I would of thought I would drop it another tenth or so if I would of run... I guess it wont be until winter for better N/A times.... I still need to get my truck retuned.... after the TC and the LT's... truck turns off everyonce in a while.... next winter I'll be taking off the damn tonneau cover too so hope that helps...

by the way all these runs were on 26" e/t's and they were dead hooking!! I really need to get some 28" e/t's to see if that helps any....

I got all the runs on video.... I'll going to put them on a DVD and try to get someone to load them up on here... I stupid, I dont know how...

 

nice times. What were the temps out there last night?

 

it was about 10pm and I was talking to kevin and he said it was 74degrees...

 

nice times AP, and great wins none the less, you should be a low 13 n/a in the winter.

 

good deal. thats the bad thing about nitrous....once you use it you don't want to go back to n/a runs. if it hadn't been for the bracket race i would have gotten crazy with reducing weight and pouring fuel in a bucket to drop weight but i wanted to stay consistent. but once i was eliminated due to a cell phone ringing....blah. i went to the test n tune lane and sprayed till my heart was content..lol.


28" tires will help a ton over the 26"ers.....it got to where i couldn't hook them even on motor.

 

who are you kiddin? we don't have winter in Houston

 

same here. we might have one weekend to race when the temps are in the 40's. then we have to worry about the track closing cause it's too cold

 

thanks everybody, yeah winter is quite away so I have time to work all the bugs out...

 

good to hear you had your fun Ap. Nice times too.

 

28" tires will not help if he is not crossing to high got to remember the more the rpm range u use the better the run will be.if u r hookinh i would not change
