I didn't go since it was only street tires.He didn't do very well since the tires would smoke the whole track.I think his best ET was 11.4 at 101mph (did 105mph in the 1/8) but we figure he pulled the shifter to 2nd.I think his best spinning mph was 129mph.

He mostly went for the event to help raise money.I really don't think Matt cared about the time,he just liked being back in the truck after years of it gone.

When he gets back the drag rims we'll make some real passes.

It felt very good to be back in the saddle after over a year and a half. The truck needs a tire bad. and it needs the suspension tuned
