Thanks Mike and JF!! JF it was suppose to be warm, I checked the forecast early in the week, it said 60 degrees. When we got there it was 34 and thunder snow! Froze our butt off!!
David, Did a little carb work, trick flow intake, and got rid of the trans that I melted down the first year we had it. It really was never right.
Can wait to get it on a hook'in track and see if it took a tenth off or not!!!
Thanks again guys!!

The Bomb will hook there for sure and if you have a weak link you will find it trust me i did. lol The shut down looked kind of short or did it just look that way on the video. Travis |

I sure would have like the 70's !! Just had to take what mother nature gave us. It sucked for sure but it was still better than sitting on the couch like I would have been doing!!
Travis I can't wait for a hooking track ! We were dragging pumpkins almost the whole way except in the air!! ;D
I'm anxious to see how we'll hole shot this year but I think I took some of the life out of my shocks this last weekend which will probably hurt us!;-(
I switched all over to 1350 joints in hopes of not finding a week link but I never broke a 1310 either!! No HP=no broken parts!!
What did you break?
We are coming to Missouri racing this next weekend if all goes well!

Travis, That shut down was insane. I have good brakes and a pretty slow truck. I was up in the air sometimes with both my feet on the brake so when I hit, if one foot slipped off, I'd have a back up because a fraction of a second mistake and you'd be in the wall head on. I guess two trucks have totaled running into it. I slid up to it a couple times so as fast as you are, your truck would have to stay on the trailer or it would go back on taking up 1/2 the space it did on the way to the race!!  Jeffro I don't know how many fast trucks have ran there before , but I have a real feeling that they haven't had many or there would be a whole bunch of those roadside crosses with flowers hanging on that wall.  |

Dex don't sell yourself short! The Bomb had a good day but conditions were just right for the truck and the driver. I excel when conditions get bad and the truck is a pretty solid old girl so we kinda made a good team last Saturday.
Don't confuse that with being any faster on the drag track, that has yet to be seen. Actually it could still be slower. I didn't have one good hole shot. It scared me at first when it had a slight stumble on take off but once again I couldn't get it to warm up. After that it was fine but still not one hooking hole shot.
Are you going to Gussies on the 30th?
