Yeah, I plan on going to Mason Dixon next month too. I'd have run there some during the summer, but If I break something it's a pain to get it hauled home. With 75&80, I'm close enough that I can walk home. :hehe:

But, I am lookin around for good deal on a trailer for next year.

How is your suspension set up? What tires?

Nothing special. Poly bushings on the front control arms, spring clamps on the back half of the leaf springs. That's it. Adding a True-Trac to the front helped a lot though. Tires are a pretty old set of Michelin LTX M/S, 285/75/16.
 
That is just impressive. I was guessing 13's when the video started. Never dreamed a high 10.
 
Spring clamps on the back half of the leaf springs??????? Thats wrong if your looking for better 60 foot times, isnt it? Shouldnt the clamps be on the front of the rear leaf pack?
 
Very cool sleeper for sure, awesome run! I'd fab up a fiberglass calf or two for the bed if it were me, that'd really blow peoples minds. :evil
 
Hinge the legs or put them on a track or springs so they rock back when it launches

Having the clamp on the rear allows the front of the spring to absorb the launch and load up. Then it keeps the rear of the spring from separating, which would cause hopping. I have tried front, rear and both sides. The rear works the best. As you can see, it just lifts and goes. I'd call 1.61-1.63s pretty good for regular street tires.

I had thoughts about some hay bales in the bed, then spraying them with clear to keep it from blowing. But they won't let me run with anything in the back.

And for the guys that were asking.....
There's No Nitrous!!!
I'm setup for it, but have never filled the bottle. Once I max it out as it is, I'll give it a try.
