oh im sure she left hard and im not saying its impossable, unlikely, but not impossable. and if your not on the track much a 1.5 60 foot will snap your neck.
i run 1.3x every pass out. when i went a 1.27 i knew it, and that a few hundreths of a second.

ps, my first 1.3x 60 foot, i did the same thing, smashed my head on the bar and near pee'd my britches. lol


again, congrats either way. you guys done good. saw the truck in gmht and she is looking very good!!!

you need the little statick cling numbers like they use at the car dealers.
thats what i used to do when i showed my car so i didnt get the white all over everything, but for you it would work so you dont have to scrub to get the numbers off and scratch it.
or if you sign up for IHRA or NHRA membership etc you can apply your own number. some tracks will let you use it all the time and you can have a nice red sticker of it made up.
if you do 4 numbers or as a letter in it usually they will let it fly.

my number is 7299 every once and a while they make me put an X after it.

I would expect a truck like that to go 1.5s easy.. I would think 1.4 - 1.3s would be pretty common occurance. I didnt get a look at that truck but from just glancing at it at the shop it looks like its got a lot of suspension work done. 1.2's is friggen impressive though no matter how much work went into the car.
