[email protected] first pass ever at the track!

[coker6303]

***HUGE THANKS*** to Josh Harris for the killer tuning and Chris at Relentless Diesel for the trans work!!

Emiller had to help me out too, little louisiana soul food for the ol truck!

first time ever at the track, and only pass of the night was a 12.74@104 with a 1.82 60' 8.07 1/8th

truck is right around 7000lbs based on the cat scale of my pre weight and my bathroom scale of the parts I removed. launched at 13-14psi reading pre intercooler

Running 305/50r20 Nitto 420s and spring clamps. Truck is lowered 3" in the rear and t-bars dropped all the way.

It must have been my good luck 2x4 holding the air filter in! had a great time, now I see how this can be so addictive!!:woott:

the guy I race red lighted, you can hear him take off early but I did leave late with a .82 RT

my buddy has a vid from the stands but i'll have to get it off his camera.

That's it??? J/K nice times specially for your first run:thumb:

 

[flyinelvis11]

good first time run! nice to see the rewards of all the work put in i bet

 

[coker6303]

gotta start somewhere! lol

Also had 2 douchbags in new 5.0 mustangs in the staging lanes with their hoods up the entire time like they had something special. They were discussing "loudly" that the junk trucks need to stay home since the rest of them came to actually race. And they were talking about how hard it was to break 13's, hardcore racers! I would have loved to have been staged next to one of them.

Nice run. I like when you do line up against them, and they dont try. They really don't like getting beat by diesel trucks.

Congrats again, Russell. You should have went up and told one on those mustang guys to put his money where his mouth was.

Congrats man thats awesome for your 1st time out.:thumb:

 

[coker6303]

I was scared I wouldn't break into the 12's with it being my first time to run so I kept my mout shut. Would have been epic to beat one of them though!

I'm ready to go back in the fall when it cools off some. It was hot and humid night!

Russ you should shoot for the quick 25 list for stock motored trucks.I haven't looked in a while but I think you need to nlrun a 12.52 or better,looks like you have a strong 1 there.Lighten her up as much as you can and a little more tweeking and your so close.

Not a bad idea, may try that this fall with the Louisiana boys at Baytown. It would be cool to be on that list!

Had fun Russ and i'm glad that when I finally got you out there that it was worth it. I wish I would have done better but there is always next time. Congrats again buddy. I know you are still smiling.

That was a good run. Looks like I have a long way to go to catch up.
