Running 8's (or 9's for that matter) is a lot harder than it looks w/a vehicle that does double duty. I've had several friends that ran 454+ cubic inches w/N2o & still didn't break out of the 10's & they had 'tubbed' trucks w/slicks.

I'm pretty sure one of these guys would be willing to put a pink slip up for grabs if you feel like coming to Dallas & think your truck has what it takes to get it....

These trucks don't look like 'show queens'. They look more along the lines of 'Sat night specials'. They are 'work' trucks (as in their sole purpose is to generate $$). Also, since there's more than just one truck in the stable, I would guess they have progressively improved w/each, having learned from their mistakes. I'll ask next time I see them what their avg track times are.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
