Default Hehe, new best.......

......with my Hemi pick up . Couldn't bring the car so I wound up racing the truck at Atco. Ran a best of 15.6 @ 86 mph with a 2.3 60'.
Cartek Dave also ran his GMC dooley to a 15.8 @ 81 mph with an awesome 2.0 60'.
When the day started I thought I had one up on Dave cause he was running 17's+ but that stopped when Julio showed up and tuned a good 1.5 seconds out of that 6 wheeled beast.
Then it got fun.
Dave and I had multiple side by side races all day, one of the best times I've ever had at the track. I was smiling all the way home, what a day.

Wow on both of the pickups! My Avalanche feels like a dog. I am curious what it would run in the 1/4..
