I just remember how fast Darius was shifting from his in cab vids when he had his 12sec ZF. This had to be even faster.

Wow. I didn't realize just how many ridiculously fast Duramax's there are these days.

Anyone know if Buck Spruill's username is on that list somewhere? I remember watching that truck go LOW 6's as far back as like 06/07-ish. Don't remember ever watching him do much 1/4 racing, though.

Can't believe that's been almost 20 years ago. I wonder how fast he ever went and where that truck is today...

Check out the 1/8 mile list to see if he's there

Spruill is #25 on the 1/4 list. N20 Dmax
Ah, gotcha. (y)

I wonder if that's the fastest he ever went? Fairly sure I remember seeing him pull a 5.7x pass at Rudy's roundabout 2015, which should be a decent bit quicker than a 9.24.

Didn't see him there either (even with the username TheBac pointed out).

I'm not totally surprised. I don't think he was online very much, and he was pretty humble about things.

Ah, the good ole days. Fun times for sure.
