Johnboy drag racing a slush box!

[JOHNBOY]

Yep. Back to my roots. Been a long time sense I drag raced an auto. I raced the 07 Classic. I just out a little tune in it. Went to the Grand Rock diesel drags in Thompson, Ohio. Ended up third. Which paid money!:fluffy:

I am impressed with how consitent (sp?) the truck was. Other than the first pass which I was knocking off the rust and went 15.635 all my other pass where real close between 15.52, and 15.492. All my 60's where 2.0xx. This 07 TCM maybe slow but it is like have a built in delay box. You cant screw up launch.:rofl:

I ran 15.506 on a 15.5 dial in the semi finals and I got beat on holeshot. Margin of Victory was. 032. Man what a race. I lost but lost well I made him earn it.


PS MikeL sorry I did not call you Friday! I need to get this trans built running 15s sucks.:rofl:

Most of us need to multi-task while driving. That doesn't include shifting, I'll let the truck do that.

The country life must be nice....
You fellas should follow the lead of your local Omish drivers, hell they don't even really steer!:rofl:

So easy a cave man could do it!:rofl:
It was fun. But it lacks the sliding sideways four smoking fun of the stick truck launch.

I actually had time to look in the rearveiw and see where Bohatch was! All most let off because he looked so far back. Glad I didnt that old red goat has sick topend pull.

I had to follow the lead of the Amish. I got behind 3 buggies on the way to the track. I could not pass till on coming traffic cleared.

It's hard to pet your sheep while driving a stick shift.
