Thanks, the vette is coming next. Hopefully the vette will go 150 mph, only can go as fast as the Lonestar Card will allow us to pay for.

What all is done to keep the truck down? Spoilers? Chins? Diffusers?

LIL SIS, has a stock 10 bolt w/ a locker and 3.23's. Axles are stock, the shocks have been changed to Lakewoods. No spoiler, chin diffuser is a stock GMC bumper accent. There are no tricks with this truck. We drive this truck on the street with the stereo playing tunes, and having a good time. As I said before, the 192.9 run was done through 3 1/2" single exhaust, 15 lbs. of boost, and a 75 shot. This truck has evolved from a junk yard truck sitting in the yard with the windows knocked out to what we have here. The only outsource work on the truck was the cage.

On another note, I want to say it is not easy to tackle these goals with a truck. It is like pushing a sheet of plywood down the track, we could easily put this setup in my Corvette and run a serious mph. Just like the Hayhauler, we're shooting for 7's 1/4 mile, will it happen? Yes, because of our commitment and goal to do so. Also my friend and brother will not give up or quit until he defeats all the odds. He is the toughest 130 lb. **** you will meet, and is determined. Stay tuned things will only get better!!

I'll get on it tom and have my buddies go through the couple hundred or so pics from today. I sent quite a few members here their pics last year and on corvette forum after I posted a thread. This was the first year, we were not allowed in the infield and were always being blocked by LPE on our right and the Florida guys on our left with their jacked up 4 wheeler. I didn't take the pics this year, but 2 others in our party did. It might take a day or so to go through them, but I will be sure to post them up if we have them. Again, outstanding run!

Flaco runs strong for sure! Keep it up. Hope to see what Blaine King from PSI does in the turbo Lightning. HPD is sponsoring Blaine again this year so we wish him luck!
