Again great show Matt, awesome performance. Do you have any idea what your egt's were going through the traps? What TC were you using and would a looser TC helped you to stage without pulling through the brakes?

Ken, 1650-1700 egts. TC was a new 1053. While testing, it allowed me 20 to 25 lb launches. Once at the track everything changed????? I dont want to blame the TC, might have been me, maybe not allowing proper cool down, or ??

Congrats again Matt! Flat out amazing what you and Jeff were doing.

How did you get the truck down to 6040lbs with a rollcage? wow. There must have been some serious stripping of parts going on. Milkcrate for a seat?

I've never run a .4 pro tree before. What was that like?

Tom, .4 pro is my favorite by far. See it and go. Its tough to get out ahead of it(if the truck is working right) My truck started as a work basic model, so no electric anything and no bells and whistles. Along with the basic weight loss, I just replaced the front bumper with a fiberglass bumper cover.

Congrats matt it was great meeting u and the dts crew. Truck was awesome can't wait for next year

I was the DRUNK guy runnin around on the golf carts and with Jeff and Matt... I always had a cut off T on I think the whole weekend. Nice to meet the Fleece boy's and the Greene's.... You all missed the drunkin golf cart racing on the track by our crew and also missed us flip the golf cart lol....Some guy that looked like father time came bustin ass out of a pop up camper to see the whole thing LOL:thumb::roflmao::woott:

To enjoy these quotes from Eric properly, you must read them as though it was Keanna Reeves saying it:rofl: Thats how he rolls!
