Oh yea. Why did jarrett have the front paddles turned backwards?

 

yeah you had some fun , the sand drag vids are great , thanks for the vids of my truck too!!!

 

He and Henry were debating whether to put them on backwards or forwards, they decided to put them on backwards so that the front paddles wouldn't fill the rear scoops and cause the rear to lose traction.
Also if you watch the first 100 feet you'll notice the massive toe in of his front tires due to the weight transfer, it lifted the front so much that we really thought he broke his suspension. Having those paddles the other way would of probably put an additional load on that front suspension being all ****-eyed. But that's just my opinion.

 

i was just about to ask why they were backwards lol. makes sense. gotta love having a dual purpose truck like that. go fast in the sand and drive it home, while raping most anything on the highway to boot! haha

 

Times were slow this track is .5 and 12-15mph slower than the 2 other tracks around here. It's a combination of the dirt, and timing lights. Many 550HP big blocks + 150 shot can't brake 50mph. I ran 5.0@62mph fighting the truck the whole way. Tierods were deflecting and tires were pointing at each other. Quickest time in my open paddle truck class was 4.45@64mph from a really trick 59 chevy truck on 37x17 stagger super scoops, 1700HP blown alcohol 565CI BBC. 2nd fastest was a 4.8 @58mph out of a striped down 88 chevy with a SBC and F1R procharger on alcohol with super scoops as well. Father son team that has been racing for well over 15 yrs.

Im confident I would have been 4.80's no prob with a good set of scoops. I was running dune buggy tires rated for 450 HP lol This was also a pro tree and I was racing off the foot brake against transbrake guys.

 

Please....
Haha, remember we live out in the sticks and only internet i have is this crappy Iphone.

I tried downloading the flashplayer on my company computer and i couldnt hack the admin account. Yet.

 

Ugh!!
Just cuz it's you and I take pity on you because you live in the projects of the boonies!!
Give me an hour or so, I'll upload 3 or 4 of the vids. YouTube always takes forever though.

 

so you were half a second off from a 1700hp alcohol vehicle in your DD

Here's a couple video's that I uploaded onto youtube. Hope that satifies the few of you who can't watch the Photobucket vids.
