Default Sooo close to 9s on 5.3

Its been 4 days straight of beating on it, edinburg track, streets of mexico thursday night, royal purple raceway in baytown friday. After royal purple back to to the streets of mexico. Then last night we went to evadale where we met skeet, great person to talk to.

Thursday night beat a high 9 sec vette and stayed on the back fender of a mid 9 sec camaro. Only got vid of running the camaro, camera guys didnt post the loss.

Friday night after running consistant 10.1s-10.2s on royal purple, I couldnt get any good sixty on slicks.(wed night in edinburg a managed a 1.48 and royal purple only 1.59) I didnt get any good vid of the passes.

After that we hit the streets of mexico again and ran another camaro, this one a money race and lost. We ran from 30-140 I had him all the way to like 130 but passed me. My truck hooked pretty damn good on the 30.

Then saturday night we hit evadale and managed to pull small wheelies on drag radials and ran a best of 10.01. I also ran a 10.05 and several 10.1s at 135-136 they told me i needed nhra license i believe because of the mph.

Agree with skeet. All you need is the weather. Nice moving truck for sure!
