Had a great time at Texas Diesel Nationals!! Met some guys from the forums and finally put a face to a name. It was a pleasure meeting you all. 
:hug:
The ol' truck did pretty good. Made it all the way down to 3rd place in the Super Diesel 11.90 class when I screwed up at the light. Purely driver error on that one! I tried 3 times going down the track to reach the dsp5 and hit tune 5 to try to push the other guy past 11.90 but that dang seat belt was locked so I gave up. Probably better for the motor that I didn't reach it anyway! :thumb:
My cousin's twin turbo lmm dualy has me by .02 (11.83 vs 11.85) on fastest times now! lol he's rubbing it in! we pulled his weight down and ran the drag radials on his truck friday night and he did great!
1 of the runs during the races was a 11.900 at 104mph, I let out at the end of the track to keep from breaking out. Pretty sure that run would have been my best pass for sure, I left too hard and new I would be below a 11.90 so I stayed in until the very end. Leaving at around 13psi seemed to put me right at that 11.90-12.0 range. Just gotta keep her at that 11.90 range!:woott:
swapped tires, loaded up and went back to Houston last night. No problems, still running like a champ. Even whipped a C6 vette on FM1960 a few miles from home. He was giving it hell from light to light so I got beside him at about a 40mph roll, he took the bait and as soon as I saw his car lift I nailed it and pulled by 2 car lengths. He had the biggest grin on his face and a thumbs up out the window when he passed by as I turned off. Hell of an ending to a great weekend!!! :woott::woott::woott::woott:
