To be honest, If I had another truck and a trailer I would trailer my truck to the track. Just in case something happened. My buddy blew up his engine while we were at a track about 120 miles from Tucson. His tow bill was crazy.

The term nic'd or nick did happen to me at silver dollar earlier this year. It's when the head gasket recieves just a small amount of damage, usally like a screwdriver was gouge'ing it. Almost like you picked a small piece out of it. It happens when you get a spike in combustion pressure because of detonation,too much timing, ect. Hence the term "nic". It allows the cooling system to pressurize with combustion gasses and eng overheat without loosing a substantial amount of coolant. Thankfully I brought my trailer.

F-22 if all you're going to use this site for is to talk **** then go somewhere else. Everyone likes to have fun on this site and actually contribute. All of your posts are talking crap to people about how badass your trailer queen is. Everyone posts up their times honestly then you come on here picking at them. Here's a news flash for you, people who have fast trucks they built and tuned(Foose and Atomic) aren't dumb. They know you've seen their times and you're still cocky so you must be faster. You're also calling people in fullsize trucks out in your midget truck. Even if you win what have you proven? That your car weight trailer queen truck is faster? Good job, there's always someone faster out there.
Quit talking crap to everyone, be a contributing member or don't use the site.

I dont mind the nonsense...
So lets turn the tables... Lets meet up with the trailer queen, Set out random targets from 600-1400 Yards and see just how good the smack talker is .. Ill even use my AR-15..
See some of us just arent in the modding trucks to win and smack talk.. I Love shooting more than racing. So lets go at it!!
Ok im bored at work and have nothign better to do than ***** up Atomic's thread..

Thing is, I didnt have any money on that race, so I cant get too upset about it. I would be stupid to bet money at this point because anyone with a computer can see what I run at the track, ive been 100% transparent about my times. You, on the other hand, never say what your truck(s) really run and wont tell any details about their setup. If thats the way you want to play then thats fine, but not exactly fair is it? If you drive whatever your going to race from atlanta to steele I would be happy to race you. Seems to be about the middle between us and ive been wanting to go to a 1/4 anyway. I dont race anyone for money, not at this time anyway, because I have been too honest. I like drag racing because its fun and have a vehicle that is a blast to drive, not because I like calling people out or proving how much of a badass I am for what I drive.

You can outrun some street cars with these daily driven trucks, but if the car is set up right with no rules we don't have a chance. The power to weight ratio is just too far against us. It doesn't take all that much to go 9's NA, and 8's with a power adder in a ~3300lbs car chassis. 850~900 FWHP can get you into the 8's in a decent set up car chassis. It takes almost double that in one of these power robbing 4x4 trucks....
