Jim hate you had convertor problems! I've got to send mine off too!

Finally got my new enclosed trailer I'll take some pics later and post them!

Promods here tonight if mother nature is nice!

**dennislbrooks** · 08-12-2006, 05:12 PM

cool - you kicked the new Z06's a$$.

djracer · 08-13-2006, 10:26 PM

71 Dragtruck I hate you had problems with the hotrod! Post some pics of the new additions.

We had 27 promods show up for 8 spots so they added a second 8 car field the #1 qualifier was Mike Neil at 4.01 eighth mile! I hated I didn't get to race but I'll have the new trailer ready by next weekend!

71Dragtruck · 08-15-2006, 11:41 PM

Here's a quick video of one of my runs from the weekend, not the best run I had but close. Glitches kept me out of the 10's this weekend, but I'll be back, did have a 1.59 60'. Only problem with the vid is that it's shot in wide screen and looks funny on here.

djracer · 08-16-2006, 09:34 AM

lookin good I still want to see pics of the cage and seats!

71Dragtruck · 08-16-2006, 09:43 AM

I got it unloaded from the trailer, I only have one seat in it right now and no carpet. I'll try to get some pics for you tonight, been slacking.

71Dragtruck · 08-16-2006, 07:35 PM

Here are a few pics, a bit dirty after a rain shower at the track and driving in the dusty pits. I have another seat and belts to go in and as soon as it gets here, black carpet with the matching back piece to cover where the tank use to be.

71Dragtruck · 08-16-2006, 07:36 PM

71Dragtruck · 08-16-2006, 07:36 PM

Last one.

nxtruck · 08-16-2006, 10:51 PM

That bar looks nice, 71! I do like those seats, also. I've kinda wondered how the Kirkeys compare to the cheaper Jaz seats like I'm running, weight-wise. They do look a heckuva lot nicer than the Jaz seats.

Thanks, the seats are 14lbs. each.

djracer · 08-16-2006, 11:54 PM

Thanks for the pics your trucks getting sweeter all the time and you haven't been slacking you have been racing! I haven't raced since Hunstville Super Chevy just a couple of test and tunes! I'm hoping to slow it down and run the 7.00 heads up class this weekend! I've been working on the new trailer like crazy! I'll try to post some pics of the new toy box!

Nxtruck The kirkeys sit much better than the basic ole plastic race seats that's what I had in my last race car!

It's in Saskatoon Sask. it's SIR's 40th anniversary race. It was suppose to be couple months ago but got rained out, now they are pairing it up with the alcohol funny car shootout. Even the Fri. night street drags the night before will be packed.

djracer · 08-17-2006, 12:07 AM

I can run on motor only I need to get my 9 inch convertor fixed to be able to try the juice again. I still have tons of little stuff to do to the truck! I have got to get more weight off of it too!

Kevin

71Dragtruck · 08-17-2006, 12:11 AM

Man I'd trade ya weights any day! I guess it's just a matter of what a guy's willing to cut off.

djracer · 08-17-2006, 12:15 AM

I want the truck to look pretty stock but weigh less than 3000lbs with my 200 in it! I would like to run high 5's in the eighth on the motor and low 5's on the nitrous!

71Dragtruck · 08-17-2006, 12:28 AM

I'd settle for 4000lbs. with my 265.

bigjimzlll · 08-17-2006, 06:52 AM

Well, The converter was perfect. I had them tighten it up 300 rpm. Should be at 5800 rpm now. The tranny is still at the shop. We found one of the cooler lines (braided AN) was laying on a header. I kind of wish they had found something wrong with the converter.

Hope you get her done, nothing worse than spending all week under the truck and then not making it to the race.
