Nice! That old beast is pretty quick.

[peobryant]

Nice runs. She's a quick little bugger. I bet those D-Max guys and that Common Rail were a little ticked off.

The '93 looks nice too.

Hows the converter holding up in the 727? Any plans on a new one, or are you wanting to install an O/D tranny in it? (I think I read that somewhere...)

The kids had a good time, when are you gonna let them take a trip down the track?

[MMeier]

Sweet! Was at the track myself last night with the racecar, went 3 rounds when i gave away the stripe! Might have to take the '03 down the track here soon again.

Good job richie.

I bet those late model guys were not happy.

What happened to that 1st gen dually. Did he fall asleep or something?

Thanks!!

The guys were a pretty nice bunch. The runner up shook my hand and all was cool. He had changed his break out time from 9.44 to 9.49 and he ran a 9.45. He broke out by 4 thousandts. I had also changed my breakout to 9.32 from 9.27. I still would have got him though. I cut a little better light then he did. I had a .709 to his .761. My best light was a .565 with .500 being perfect. The first gen dually was having issues. It was missing some. He wanted me to look at it but I didn't have a second to do it.

And I forgot to mention. The 89 with a single stack and head gear was my old truck. He did spin the whole track.

[Philip]

He did spin the whole track

I heard the announser say that. Hes looking for a L/S now I bet.

I welded the pin in the carrier a few years ago. I caught it just in time to save the ring and pinion. It slapped it a little. As far as you know Philip, a l/s or locker out of a 3.54 will work correct?? He has no real care to do any performance mods. He is using it for plowing and a work truck so he wants it to stay together. We popped the dent out of the door later that day. He kinda hit a tree plowing last winter.

Richie that was great! I sat here laughing my butt off after the 2nd run. I thought that white D-max had you, but you came right on and took him.
Good job!

Yes Richie a 3:54 carrier is the same as a 3:07 carrier. Just watch the axle spline count.
