Re: New project

Ran the Houston performance trucks ( HPT ) shootout this weekend with both trucks . I took the yellow truck out to run the 10.0 index and my buddy Jay came and got my Blue street truck to run 12.0 index . The weather was horrible 72 and mist. The track hung with it through a cold front coming through and put us on a good track for sure . Last year I was 10.04 . This year fastest pass was 10.22 . Hard to win leaving a quarter second on the table . I would typically spray , but the air went from 1800 DA to -961 in a matter of hours . I was worried about hurting something here at the first of the season with the points lead . The blue truck came out swinging . It went 12.04 out of the trailer and with just removal of the air cleaner it went 11.70 . So we go to work . Jay had the largest field in the show and had to go 2 extra rounds for the win . I ended up going to 3 trucks just off the tree (.400 pro tree) and got to third round and imo was late @ .071 . The guy I was running was .198 and able to run 9.80 in a S-10 twin turbo truck and run through nose to tail with me for a 10.01 to my 10.22 . I also ran the 6.50 cash days shootout Were in the semis finals I put a new personal best of 1.41 60" on motor for a break out of 6.487 lifting at about 580 foot and taking a 18 wheeler length of strip . Temp settled at around 46 degrees by the end of the race . Still a fun weekend , Here are some of the pictures .
Open time trials



The blue square body was the 10.0 index winner . Single turbo junk yard 5.3

Jays pairing for 12.0 finals



We had 3 people ask us about electronics which are not allowed . The blue truck doesn't even have an MSD box . It is a 388 with a HEI off Ebay that is a footbrake deal . No transbrake .
