Post by: Darren Dilley on April 07, 2007, 12:53:41 AM: Man what a night ... first run like Lanny said 10.60 @134 there was no traction they were set'n me up in the burn out box wrong.. got that all dialed in on the second run.. the most sweetest burn out to date.... so i am up with a S-10 truck from Washington... i miss 3rd so i am about 25 feet behind this guy i get her into gear. full boost catech'n up an he pops a rad hose at about 135 mph and he is all over the track i back out of it as my windshield has just be sprayed from the water out of his motor and i run over a foam block that the track uses for there time trippers that i thought was his fuel tank but man that guy can drive stand up guy came over afterwards to apologize did not get athe 3rd run in till 10.15 dropped the tire presser to 15lbs once again a great burn out hit 3rd gear and she starts to step out sideways on me backed out of it and ran a 11.20
hope to be out there next friday for T&T and Mopac Performance Street Legal Race #4
