Default Ethyl n a Lightning

Late in the season North Star Drag Strip cool night DA around 2300. Nice Lightning sounds great. Been watching him run this year. Beat me earlier in the year when I was on street tires. Tonight had Nittos. This was the first pass of the evening when the car was still hot from the trip. Went 8.30. Later it went 8.10 and 7.99. Last race I won against a Bimmer clocking 32 seconds at 13 mph. Wasn't even at full WOT until towards the end. He jumped about 3 tenths over the light, .470 on a .500 tree to my .580. I think he went about 8.6. Good looking truck. I love the sound of their FI. Enjoy the video

Also, I just want to add that I was looking through your videos and found this one. For some reason I think it's hilarious. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...77195759212097

He had a bout a 3 tenths headstart on his readlight. It was a great sounding truck.
