Try 50 shot with 1.7 seconds.
next time out im just going to work on the 60'...im going to just keep spray to the 60' mark so i dont waste all of the bottle. ill just keep upping the shot out of the hole until my 60' no longer improves. then ill work on seeing how fast i can progress the rest at it.

then i guess ill put on the 150 and start over haha. then the 175 or 200. i still need a fuel pump before i think about that though.

Congrats on the times Stewart. I never knew how fun the track was until I went. My heart was pounding the first time I pulled up the tree.

Very nice truck!
i remember who you are i think...tall skinny guy right? or atleast skinnier than me haha. congrats on the win! was that on the footbrake? i was kind of discouraged when i found out how many trans brake racers were there in the 7.50 class. my truck was definately dialed in nice...its too bad i couldnt cut a light it sucks losing with the better time haha. its really all about the light out there in the brackets.

my buddy with the s10 will be a compeditor soon. that was his 2nd time to have the truck out and he is working out the bugs. he did make a 7.50 run on a bypass. i know you made a perfect pass to right? his rt's are usually .020-.030 on the transbrake but the 500 tree was throwing him off haha. he usually races his 6.20 67 camaro and he is just getting used to the slower truck and the slower light.

haha yeah thats me! Yeah i was footbraking the camaro, that was my first time to index race it with its new setup lol i dont know if i adapted to the car fast or it was luck! I've been bracket racing my truck for about 3 years now so i guess that helped me. It was fun though either way..haha I had to run 2 transbrake cars my first two rounds of eliminations, but the 2nd guy i ran broke out so got the win! Thanks! I hope my pops lets me be his driver again. That .500 light really helps us footbreakers out before it was .400 tree and only transbrake cars won that class before the change.
