It's nice when you can put a face to the truck. Though it wasn't tough for you to find me... seems that more than a few knew who I was. I thing there was only one other female driver out there, but I never saw her make a pass. I put 4 in on my own and handed the keys to Flaco's nephew Alex and he could only pull 1 1/10 of a second better. Just like most, I get better times in the cooler weather.

Atop of that, being the truck's best time was in the cold on the 20's (13.765). Yesterday it was learning about reducing air compression to get the tires grip better. I wasn't running the 20's, but a pair the Flaco gave to me a long time ago, and I managed to keep them in decent shape to run maybe another time or two. Maybe by the late fall I should have some slicks, but with renovations to the house going on....you know.

I imagined it would be, yeah it's got a bed and all, but it's hard to think of that thing as being a truck. As far as the Denali goes, he told me that he was just about to get it out of the body shop, the result of some vengeful bast_ _d beating it up. At least Colby told me the police have him!

Oh, there was something else that I forgot to add. We put 109 Octane in, and a considerable diff from 93.

It was a good time out there for sure.....I finally broke into the 13's on 4 out of 5 passes, the one that wasn't was a 14.02, the best run was 13.82 @ 98.15
