Default we won!!!

we loaded the lighning up for the true street class at RRR. and we was number 1 qualifer. with a 10.18. thats with a 275/60 drag radial. But we didnt leave with no parts breakage. The th400 decided to loose 2nd gear on the first elem. so we won shifting from 1 to 3rd. went 10.20 doing that. So we went home happy tho. was alot of fun.

400. enough to cover the trip. not counting the tranny. But it was fun. the class was all between 10. teens to 11.0's But the real fun was the true 10's. those cars are a blast to watch. Couple of cars dragging the bumper 1/2 way down the track. the fastest one ran 5.0's in the 1/8th.

Yeah next time we'll skip the $100 hotel bill for friday night, and hopefully the $50 trailer spare replacement.

We had a great time, and the truck went 1.49 on the little tires. And I had my best pro tree light ever in that run too Not bad for 3700lbs. The cruise was fun too, wasnt it Brian

I knew that truck would fit in good in this class. Congrats! That 9 is coming.

I skipped this one but I ended up make a trip out there with the trailer to pull the white/blk stripped SS home. His Edelbrock Tq arm bent and took out the driveshaft. Not sure about the rearend and trans yet. We had to sit at that wreck for over an hour on the trip out to the track. That was a REALLY bad wreck. Flying J fuel truck=1 90's Z71=0

Brian & Frank ya'll are a blast and I'm very happy for you. You guys really may a long haul to race and always seem to be having a great time running that truck. Sorry I didn't get back with you on the hotel, but I drove over to Wolfe Craft to pick up my roll bar Friday and stopped in the totally nude bar coming home. I didn't get in til 4 am, missed my bass tourney, missed your runs, pretty much missed Saturday. Cainsw is Chris he is running the dark camaro, I'm Wayne running the white vert, Chris's uncle runs the white camaro with black stripes. Anyway WAY TO GO!!!!!!

I like it, "Dark" that is, has a better ring then black. Truth is I couldn't remember black or dark blue. Anyway I'm getting to be an ol'man you know what they say, "first thing to go". Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most. How goes the rear end?

No problem Wayne. We stayed just off I20 at the Comfort Inn. Wont be staying there again.

Next time we'll get up early sat a.m. and drive down for the race, and head back afterwards and stop overnight saturday night, because we did that anyways.

Gotta go pull the TH400 out, gonna get it fixed and turn up the boost for the april race. I think I'm gonna need it to try to win 2 in a row.

Next time ya'll need a place to stay don't worry about a hotel. Ya'll can sleep on the sofa, extra bedroom or floor at my place it's not much but we have a hell of a breakfast and great view of Caddo Lake. We are only a few minutes from the track, plus no one is going to fool with the truck.
