Great Job Jeff..The truck is hauling... It's a fun ride on the way to the fuel station in a truck that will bust out 10.50's all day...

Indy!
Thanks everyone!!! It was nice to meet some new people and put some faces to names. It sure did fill good to win the event and set a record. The only proplem is I didn't get the record for very long. I didn't make weight! I was under by 10 lbs. I was having problems all day keeping the boot on the turbo and blowing coolant out the overflow. It's lifting the heads and has been for a couple of months. It's just gotten worse in the last couple outtings. If I would have just put the coolant back in it before they took it to the scales I would have been safe. I would have bet my kids on it weighing 6200 lbs!!! I guess I took more weight off than I thought I did. It crossed the scales
at 5990! I just wanted to cry! I have raced a long time and never had a national record. I wanted it bad. But, I will say NHRDA is a stand up org.! They have rules and they go by them. Thats how it should be. After they told me I didn't pass I shock there hands and told them I commend them for sticking to there rules. Thats how a org. grows, By doing the correct thing. I just wish it wasn't me.lol!! O well Ken, Rob and Nathen you still have the record. I will try again so take it easy on me when you get it back together. Now I need to pull the heads and put some new gaskets on it so I can make Jess and Buks race. FWIW I did run a 6.6 1/8 with a back 1.7 60' time at a little over 105! I was running into boost issues on the line. I did have a 10.51 at 131 and change. It did 60 a 1.54 but then blew the boot off. Sorry for the rant but I had fun and just wanted to set the record strait. Jeff

Ah Crap
Even still it is very impressive and congrats, left to early and missed the drags, I knew I was going to miss something.
That does suck. Should of drank a fast 12 pack! Good show, I still consider my record broken.
Our "A" engine is in the truck now and the new turbos go on in the next couple days. I'll be racing it in Billings this weekend and with the suspension working much better, looking for good things with street tires.
