Default Damned quick 4-Runner

Thought I'd post this up as a reminder to never judge a book by it's cover

Even though I won this race he later trapped 108mph (my best MPH is 106.8)with a new bottle which tells me I really don't wanna run into him on the freeway. LOL

Nice run. That is a quick little 'yota. Was that open bracket racing? You looked anxious to get through the light. One year my truck will be that quick...too damn many projects.

It was Grudge Night with a heads up tree, no bracket.

After I spool up to 6psi the truck starts to lurch forward on it's own no matter how hard I stand on the brakes so I just have to hope I time it right when I trip that 2nd amber. LOL

So far no red lights but I'll be damned if I don't come close!

I think the Toyotas best ET is 12.70 or so. he just rebuilt the motor and those were his first runs on that one. I expect him to get into the low 12's by next season. The things looks so stock it's silly

I'm sure by next year you'll have a few more tricks up your sleeve too.

Wow, sweet runs,and nice truck! Gotta love those sleepers, both of you guys must wax unsuspecting people. Lord knows how many trucks ive lined up against at lights and never give it a second thought, must be funny seeing their faces when you blow past them!
