Looking good Josh, see you Friday night. Any word on the black single cab dually's availability?

Thanks Ken. The guy with the truck said his son is planning to race it as of now, but I'll let you know if something changes.

The first time out racing the van was a pretty good success in my opinion. I didn't set the world on fire, but it definitely shows potential. My best pass of the weekend was in the first round of qualifying. It ran a 12.703 @ 112.65 MPH with a 1.982 60' time. I got some good videos with my GoPro. I only have one loaded onto YouTube so far, but I'll link it below.

I think the next thing to do will be to shave just a little more weight off of it, get some suspension work one, electric fan, and some other little odds and ends type stuff. I went and weighed it this afternoon, and it was sitting right on 5600 lbs. Pretty close to my goal weight of 5500. I think we can get it there or a hair under once we finish taking out everything I want to remove.

I have a bunch of pictures on my phone I need to get on my laptop, but for now, here is a video.

I think they would have worked better with better a better suspension setup. That's next up on the agenda.
