Did you permanently mount the ladder so you can leave it on all the time?

Im up there a lot, just not usually on thursdays, but a buddy of mine works at the track and I told him to be on the lookout for your truck. He took a quick launch phone-vid from the tower that day and sent it to me:

If you want I can ask him to get more video of your truck whenever your there. Would be some cool shots with a better camera and the vantage point from the tower. Could also have him stand at the water box on the staging lanes. But im going to try and make it on thurs one of these weeks and see that thing in person!

Oh wow, thats pretty badass! That vid is from a couple weeks ago, and its gotten a bit faster since then. I know I saw the water box guy with his phone taking a video when me and mitch raced that day.

Its just tied down with bungee cords right now, but its pretty solid. I really doubt they would let me keep it on at the track

Heres a couple videos, first one is a shakedown run at 9psi, second one is my personal best.

U-bolt it on there and see what they say. Worst case scenario they make you take it off; bring a socket and ratchet just in case.

I always take my tools with me, but its even easier than that to take off. Just need a 5mm allen to loosen the set screws and I can pull the main posts straight up.
