Was a pretty good time for sure. Was wondering if I was gonna be turned around as it was pouring as soon as I got off the interstate.

Cleared up pretty quick and the sun came out and so did the humidity.

Probably. He lost the one i took. I was up in 5 trucks so i ran back to my truck right after. I got a 13.4 my last run when i took off my mt's and switched to pyo's with 235s. I need to get stock keys and drop the front end a bit too

Was nice to see a good turnout of trucks even with the rain that delayed things for a couple hours.

How did the bracket racing go? I left pretty much before that started, had to haul a broken dmax home. Came with an empty trailer followed by 5 friends and their trucks, left with a loaded trailer and a friend of a friends truck on it.

Who broke? Was it the LB7 that looks like trans issues?

Yeah the 01 cc/sb with the custom paint.
U joint at the back of the front driveshaft went or the yoke on the tcase broke, not sure which happened first. When he was coasting to the side of the track the driveshaft hit the trans case and cracked it.

Ouch. That's GOT to suck. Saw him on the side of the track and they were talking about transmission fluid leaking.

You know what they say, "play and pay"!

Luckily as of recently it kinda became the play toy and taken off daily driver duty if there is a bright side to things.

He figured something in his front end would go first which wasn't much of a concern, but unfortunately a weak link was found and it ended up being much more costly then a bent tie rod or other relatively inexpensive part.

I was just glad that I'd brought my trailer with and didn't have to make the hour drive home to get it and come back. I figured it would be smart to bring it since I had 2 friends running 6.4 powerstrokes .

I'm not sure what his plan is for the truck, besides more mods.

I probably noticed your truck but was to busy trying to keep my window rolled up and a lake from forming in my truck. Im sure I was easy to spot, not to many trucks showing up with empty gooseneck trailers. Figured one of the two Fords that were behind me in line would need it. Glad they didn't though, they had some pretty good runs and ended up taking first and second fastest in the Ford class.

I've got no idea who the silver truck was.
The black cc/sb with the aftermarket polished wheels and the white with the cream color on the bottom of the body was part of the group.

 

[quadracer37]

Maybe another turbo and another cp3 pump would help?

yeah there ya go
