a cclb dually six four would be hard pressed to get anywhere close to an 11.49 at elevation on work stock turbos. i guess with enough spray anything is possible though.

I think he was gunning for that yesterday when it exploded. When your spraying 400+hp of nitrous, anything is possible with enough gate....which there lies the problem, he even admitted last nice he is a bit short in the gate department haha

Starting last year they went to actual racing. It's no longer just go as fast as you can and take that time, it's go fast enough to beat the other guy. Hoping for better luck with Jesse today, this event should be his strong point and hated to see him get knocked out first round.

Props to all the competitors that voted to do it again. So awesome

They need to treat it like a bracket race. Do what it takes to stay ahead and that's it. No point in running a 10.90 if the guy next to you is in one of them pitiful duramaxes.

Well then perfect... Doesn't matter if you have a cage. Just run a 14.0 every time

Well, I shouldn't have said bracket. It's heads up racing. Beat the other guy and advance

Not bracket guys, SORRY! It's heads up. OP edited

It's heads up racing. They were going to do 1 qualifying pass today to make up the bracket, and then do elimination races. 1st qualifier races 10th qualifier, 2nd races 9th etc.

Looks like more rain today though, and pretty sure they only have until noon to complete the drag racing portion, so not sure what will happen.

I think Jared's truck has more potential in it than most realize... We've been keeping it conservative. Yesterday, Jared wanted to turn up the nitrous for racing Rick, and that's what we did! Pretty upset that we didn't get a good gauge of how hard it actually left, but I can tell you it was eating hard.

I normally run Toyo MT's... I will stick to those lol
