That sure sucks you didn't get the 9s! 10.4 ain't nothing to snease at though. Hopefully you get some more fuel pumps or bigger ones and they can flow enough.

Nice pass man. Sucks that you didn't hit 9's but it will happen. I drive my truck every day with no issues and it fought me the whole day last weekend at the track. Seems to be the way it goes. Hopefully I can join you guys in the single digit club next year.

Have them put N/T(no time) on your truck and make it less noticeable to every one at the track including tech..

Oh that blows!

Tech was taken care of that night...Chris called a few weeks ahead and mentioned there would be some fast trucks without cages and he said sure no problem.

thats awesome that you werent hassled for not being caged! but that might be a good safety thing to add in the near future. you never know when something can happen, and its alot of weight traveling really fast lol.
cant wait to see this truck hit single digit times in the 1/4

It would have done it if the meet was a few weeks earlier! Have a strong suspicion my fuel pumps are going out.

I have a feeling my track isn't going to be soft on the cage deal. I told them I would run 12.5's, and they checked my helmet to make sure it was Snell approved. I need to live where you guys live.

lol its not something that happens all the time. I just called in a favor to make sure it would be ok and wouldn't be a wasted trip for him to make one pass and be kicked out.
