Re: Is This Drag Racing Only

Finally get a daylight show and someone to video.I wind up blowing a right front tire off,Completely off so that it is laying beside the truck.......turned hard right and left me side ways in the pit.The finish line flagman was laughing,he said look where you are.That counts as a full run.9.38 seconds on three tires......I,ll take that

Re: Is This Drag Racing Only

Congrats! I would have given my right nut for my dad to have gotten to race with me.! He passed away right after I got my first drag car going. He had it in his blood and would have loved going.
