i DIG the frame rail colour...

j/k looks awesome buddy.

Ya if it rains I'm down for whatever, are we still to far north for Nascar Territory? Always impressive to walk through the spotless shops.... But I'd rather be on the track.... Liking the green sootie? Haha. Over the winter I'll get around to painting the engine Bay black, I think I want to use bright red as the accent color so intercooler piping will go that color and compressor housings.. Chargers will probably get changed again so that's why I'm waiting to see how it runs

Well it was a very successful day! Truck ran perfect, made 6 passes and the times kept improving. I kept lowering tire pressure and it responded really well. Lots of people said the track was very slick today so I'm pleased with the 2.0-1.8 60' It ran. Going to drop the pressure more tomorrow and run the 7.70 class. My best pass of the day was a 7.90 at 94 mph. I know theirs alot left in it with a good launch (certainly enough fuel available )

I had no expectations for the truck being it's first time on the track and especially In a sea of 4x4 rigs... But it surprised alot of people... Already thinking about what's next... I'll try to post up the 7.90 pass when I get back to the hotel.

Oh and running down trucks is my new favourite thing to do Lol.. Need to get this thing on a 1/4 mile track and let it stretch it's legs

Congrats on the times...especially since she's a 2-wheeler and these are her first passes.

That's a good looking pair of trucks right their! It was good seeing everyone that I was able to run into. It was a great weekend, truck never skipped a beat and was able to make 10 passes.

Gave me a good baseline to work from and certainly got me thinking about a few changes over the winter.

Wish I would have ran into you somewhere! Truck looked and ran awesome on the track I do have a video from an earlier pass in 7.70 index.
