....we rolled in and the air temp is a whopping 40. By the time we left it hit a scalding 48. Took forever to get the tires even close to hot (which they never did get). Add in a lack of direct sunlight on the track surface and you have the making of several loose launches. Finally on the 3rd pass, Keating was able to punch it all the way thru for a 5.59 on a 1.36/60 foot. Dismal time, but gave us the opportunity to show a couple hundred people a 5 second 1/8 mile diesel pass. Only 1 car faster than us all day. :rockwoot: We were having an issue of the trucks spoiler tripping the staging lights before the wheels did.

Interesting to hear people walk up and say "I've seen this thing on the internet". Heard that lots. :ylsuper:

Awesome dude. I saw it at HRP for the first time in person, the coolest race ive ever seen was when he went against the other promod truck.

Don't worry about it being too cold this winter..... you know we'll have 70 to 90 degree weather around Christmas. It never stays cold here for more than a week. :bang
