Default I raced the tow truck today!

Well, I needed the track points this weekend(Hot Rod will be finished Tuesday or Wednesday). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I ran 4-10.63's in time trails.(2000 Chevy 1500 Sliverado with 51,000 miles on her) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> But I was all over the tree. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

I could not cut a light if my life depended on it.
Best of the day was a .622! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

With some practice, I think I could get my lights back down to the .520 to the .550 range in the super fast tow truck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I lost 1st round because the truck broke out with a 10.53 on a 10.63. Wow I was shocked. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Oh well, that is drag racing. I completed my goal of just getting 1st round points. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Now to get the Hot Rod back and kick some major butt on Saturday at Sealy and Sunday at TAD. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

I've had to do the same thing before, Coach. It sucks driving something you aren't familiar with. My 5-speed Dakota was a real PITA the couple of times I couldn't race the car when points mattered. Plus, I suck at driving that truck!

Coach, you get your car back from Madman yet?

I want to see some pictures of your rear bumper when you get it back, as I've just opened mine up a little more and wonder if I have enough room to stuff a taller tire underneath... It will be close, but I still don't think I have room for a 30" yet...

George,

Thanks, If I was to race the tow truck again. I will do much better. I know how to launch the thing now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Not yet. I talked to Brian today. He is waiting on my new slicks. They will be in tomorrow by lunch time. Brain should be done with the Hot Rod tomorrow. I will get you pic's ASAP! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
