Re: New project

HPT truck shootout . Went a few rounds . Made adjustments after every round as the truck is way different with the cage . I was the smallest tire in the event and on a DOT with a street truck . All others were bracket race trucks . 80 % of the trucks there were street trucks with hard tires . I was at a huge disadvantage , but i made a few passes and got a few things lined out . Really have to look to even see the bars in it . Also got interveiwed and pictures taking and might be in street trucks magazine as they were covering the event .

Re: New project

Well , I ran Street legal warrior last weekend and got flat out run over . I changed jets to my 200 tune up and bolted up the ET streets thinking i was gonna set the world on fire . Truck went 6.25 on 165 and drag radials . Now with 200 and bias plys it went 6.30 best pass . I went 6.37 to a 5.90 in the first round . Guy had a 3100# notch with an 88 mm that flat out rolled . I tree'd him and was ahead at 60' , but here he came . On the trailer quick .

Racing for us will be down for a couple of weeks with the nationals at the big track and several grudge events at the small track . Back to 7.0 index and bracket racing . The turbos took that class over .
