well just so u guys know. frank passed his test. the first full pass they let us run the truck went 9.70 at 135. Lifted before finish. and the final pass if the test it went 9.57 @ 142. We are going to have to do gear changes for a 1/4 mile. The light came on at 1/8 mile and rode till the end. But anyways thats how it went.

thanks, yea it was a sight to see it. ANd when we had to get some drivers to sign off. they asked what he was driving, and they inpressed with it also. But I think our biggest thing was, if im not wrong, ''maybe frank can correct'' but its the second fasted 2nd gen in the country. So now we are going for johnny lighting on stock suspension. lol

No Ron the vert isn't right yet, good to see you back. I was wondering where you had gone. Congrats Frank, if ya'll have not seen the lightning run you don't know what you are missing. This truck will hook and go like nothing you have seen. I'm really glad you come down to RRR and let us north Louisiana guys see her. When we do our North/South shootout I hope you can get here. So the No Problems Raceway guys can see one bad *** truck, hell the whole world should see that lightning.

If you do the n/s thing at RRR we'll try to come down if it fits our schedule.

Once the fall air starts getting better, the schedule gets full.

Robbie, we don't have much left in it

To you guys that run at RRR, you have a great facility run by great people. Take advantage of that! We wish we could more thats for sure!

I was there. Turnout was decent. The track wasn't hooking worth a crap, for me anyway, I spun bad on every pass. I was hoping to get in the 10's but it didn't happen, but I had fun anyway. I seen Caddo but didn't get a chance to talk to him.

I was probably watching one of my buddies make a pass.

No, it has been pushed back to March. Because it was too late in the year
