Yup, weather was high 50's and dry. Best track conditions I have seen all winter. Everything was right.
Archie you kicked *** tonight dropping .6 from the first run! I did the same and ended up with (drum roll please).......

1/4ET: 12.14
1/4MPH:109.46
1/8ET:7.71
1/8MPH:90.34
60':1.78

I would have done even better but lost it going into second on the next run leaving what felt like 50' of Toyo on the strip.

 

Trever1t get ya some drag radials and you will be in the 11s for sure. Very nice time regaurdless

 

That's a new best right Trever?? Was that with the 35 shot? what did you end up doing about that rear bench seat?? Sounds like you guys only got one pass in!?! Time for the 50 shot of laughing gas? Soo many questions!!

 

damn that is just freakin sick!!!

congrats on the new best!!

 

Well when I can scrape up a set of 4 DR's

Rear bench stayed in, just too lazy to pull it Ran at full weight 5170 with just over 1/4 tank and some LUCAS fuel additive Yes, with the 35 shot.

We got 5 runs in with about 45 minutes between runs. Time for the 50 soon

Thanks guys, I think I could have done a little better but I was losing traction shifting back to 2wd on my last run.

Video to come.

Again, Congrads to Archie on his new best and Henry who got his HD moving incredably quick too!

 

Awesome guys! My wife woke me up last night and said "your girlfriend" is texting you. LOL PLain sick, just freakin sick man!!!

 

Here's the 'deal'
My first run without N2O got me a 12.7 but my launch was all screwed up and I was toatally unprepared at the pole. Hopefully you miss that video.

Next run about 1hr later with the n2o netted a 12.33 but it came on late, like a tenth after the launch because I didn't fully purge?
I'm coming around the return and my damn cell is ringing! Rick calling, heard I had done a 12.33 before I even got my slip!

The next time around I heard what I thought was engine ping, let out of it, rolled back on checking A/F, FP all good but still pinging Come back around, take off my helmut to see my house keys dingling on the center consol Still ran a 12.46

Next run was almost perfect (I red lighted) but nailed a 12.14

and on my last run just lost traction after going back to 2wd too early- and DAMN that launch felt great with another 1.79 60'.

I just reviewed the vids, wife did pretty good with the camera!

Dewey, your wife sounds a little too much like mine!

 

I almost feel as if I was there!! Great write up!!!

 

Thanks to Bill and Archie for teaching a 1st timer where to even drive his truck and how to line up! Bill, your truck is too fast. I have a good video when I lined up with Archie, he pulls me so hard out of the hole! I had a blast, made 7 runs. I ran in 4wd down the whole track because my 263hd transfer case doesn't shift out of 4wd at speed. Best E.T. was 13.717.


I weighed my truck in at 5750lbs with driver and 3/4 tank of gas, I am around 150-160lbs. I'll work on hosting the video from last night, Thanks again Bill and Archie

 

Whenever I see a pinging thread, I will always make my first suggestion ,"Are you sure it's not your keys" now. LMAO
