Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph

Went to the street night races last night...Local TV news wanted my truck there to do a piece on. Had me racing a new ZO6 vette. The Vette went 12.5 and I went 11.3. Bad news is the converter swap didn't work out. The stall was at 6500 rpm and sliping on the top end. It is a 8" ATI converter. The tranny temp went to 270 degrees So the tranny has to come out to be freshened and the converter cut open and repaired/tightened.
Big 2 day points race coming in 2 weeks...so I have to get it all fixed by then, but I'm out of town next weekend, so It looks like a lot of late nights.
