I talked with a guy tonight that has been dragging Fords for about 20 years. I was asking him some questions about local events and he wanted to know what I was going to drive. I told him my truck and he kind of half ass laughed at me. Then he asked what I though it would run and I said "13.5,,,maybe lower".
He kind of chuckled and said if anything that he had learned in all his years of drag racing, it was never to predict your ET. He said that you'll just be disappointed when you pick up your slip. Oh, and before that he laughed at me when I asked what kind of helmet I should get. He asked why and I said I would be faster than 13.99.
He is a great guy and has helped me in the past, namely using his lift to install the SCV. But, I think he needs to be taught a lesson about diesel power.
So, the goals this season are to make a sub 13.5 pass. and hopefully with some grace of god make a sub 13 pass.
Also, I can't remember. What was Casper's fastest pass on #2 when he still had the stock turbo? This will be the benchmark.
