Default Finally I have a 13 SECOND TRUCK

I finally have a 13 second truck.

The best run for the night was a 13.84 @ 100.56. I wasn't driving, but I was still glad the truck did it. My best time was 13.93 @ 100.38

I'll have to make at least 1 more trip this year when the temps are a little cooler. It was a balmy 92 at the track. I'm hoping that some lower temps will suptract a couple tenths from my time.

Allen helped a friend of mine with tuning his whipple charged Miata. It's certainly not a drag car, but it's going to the SCCA nations in a couple of weeks. He decided to give it a go at the strip and managed a 13.3 with huge traction problems. That little car is unbelievable how quick it is.

Also got to meet a couple new guys that seemed pretty cool. So all in all it was a really good evening.

Thanks again Allen for all your help!

yeah congrats man. it was very nice meeting you. and i would say that with some traction in 55-60 degree temps you will see some low 13's if you hook. good luck. im shootin for 13's in cooler temps also, high 13's!

It's been fun. Of course now I'm looking for something sub 13.5. I think that with a set of slicks i'm there already, but I want to race it the way I drive it. Tools in the back an all.
