    We think the top trucks will need to go 6.3x or faster to go the distance. And be a killer on the tree. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    We’re in with my buddies 02 ccsb, his truck, my trans/converter combo with me driving. We got a crazy turbo setup that nobody’s done before. Wrapping up the turbo now. Caltracs and mickeys on all 4 corners. We should start testing here locally end of March. It’s 1/8 mile, insta-green, spec...

    You transposed the et numbers, he was ripping for sure, just not 7.7xx. Was hoping to better my numbers too, just wasn’t in the cards for best single pass. We did better our average for the week, which got us number 47 out of the 285ish who completed the event. Sent from my iPhone using...

    All good, just broke the arb mounting tab again. Still ran good afterwards, infact the 51 above was 2 passes after the wheelie. Once we get that arb sorted out for good gonna hit it harder, hoping to better both my 1/8 and 1/4 deeper next season. Unbelievable what we’ve done with this car and...

    lol, it wasn’t. Had to abort that pass, honestly don’t think it was going to stop. Felt as if it was going on the bumper then bad shit coming, so I pedaled to save the car. The pass above was 2 later. Went a 56 then best of the 51. It had 40’s in it for sure just ran out of time and spun in the...

    I'm number 21 on this list already, just needed to update it. Only difference is the weight, lost about 50 lbs and my 80 is no longer electronically controlled. Rick Fletes. I made a separate post for the 1/8 list but don't have that timeslip.
