Today in our national championship finals.
First time with truck in well prepped track, and with help of small shot of n2o.
I got one test drive after finals, and traction was very good.
Still with old brakes and again truck crawls and start clocks too early.

Videos later, now it is beer-time.

Running 9's without a cage? You must have different rules there, looks great.

Thank You all :)

Our rules are very similar with NHRA, but I have had few test passes outside of competition races.
They wont let me drive in any official competition without cage, loops etc.

Two questions... How do you get it to take off so smoothly in a 4hi launch??? it seems almost to shoot off the line without any pull and second question... are you shooting the juice in 2nd or 3rd?

Awesome truck!!!

1.55 60ft.
Thats best I could get. Some suspension tuning (double adjustable QA1 shocks), preload with caltracks, 15-17 psi in slicks cold, good burnout, few leafs off of rear springs.

I use n2o in line and few seconds after it. Quit spraying at third gear.
