Hey Kat, we have another lady in the 12's in a diesel truck.

My wife drove the street truck in the 12.0 index class last night. This was only her second time on a drag strip. Very good competition in the class with over half of the trucks in the 11's in qualifying.

She made it to the finals by cutting .100 and .087 lights on a .400 PRO TREE. The truck was running 12.2-12.3's which wasn't enough to keep Matt Larson from fendering her down the track and crossing the strip first after identical reaction times.

I can see that I'll be doing more pit crew duties and less driving:rofl:

It's never a good idea to let the wife drive Rob:hello:. You'll never be in the drivers seat again. She is definately a competitor, i was nervous to line up against her after i heard about the lights she was cutting.

Man, Rob, she cuts lights like you do. Congrats to her!




If my wife would drive, she'd cut a .10 off my time.

OK Rob you got me thinking...I hope you have better luck then Pat :eek:

Year 2000 Pat buys the M6 2000 SS Camaro. I had never drag raced and he had to talk me into driving it after lots of prodding. I sucked bad but addicted.

2001 I run my first 12 in the Camaro
2/16/2003 I run my first 11 in the Meanie then a best 11.36 @ 120.67
10/13/2007 I run my first 10 in Casper best being 10.59 @ 128.9

After Pat gets done playing in the dirt my goal is a 9.999 :happy2:

So if your not careful Ken might have to hide the keys to Max'd Out from her :joker:
