Well The truck is going to get the snot ran out of it later today. It coughed terrible first pass. Coughed again 30 minutes later on the 2nd pass. Ran good the third pass but the tire fell off. I probably didn't get it tightened in the rush between classes.(I hope).
The people putting on the race told us what the track was going to be like. 18 inches deep at the most. So we took our speed tires(skinny's). After we won super stock class. With the 35's. we put on our only other tires 38x11's to watch them push all the mud back in the pit. Funny thing is that no one would fess up to making the decision. The club president said it was the fair board the fair board said they didn't do it but it was clearly a pit for our 39.5's that were sitting at home.
Guess it shows me that we need to bring our whole allotment of tires but it's just such a hassle to bring 3 or 4 sets of tires with us to the races.
So how'd you do Dex? Jason? Kenneth?Who else raced??

Yesterday was just a bad day all around. We didnt even make it to the race with either truck. My truck was running and warming up so we could check water and started back firing. We arent exactly sure what went wrong yet just a valvetrain failure, but we probably trashed atleast 2 valves and probably one piston. Just glad it didnt happen while going across the pit. And Dons truck we just ran out of time finishing it up. I believe Jason won super stock down here, dont remember his time.

Yea Jeff we went down there got teched when I pulled in then they teched it again when it was sitting in the trailer parked then they pumped the cubic inch on it and someone still cried about the truck so the teched it again I ran a 2.773 2nd Eric Massey 2.955 and 3rd Joe Bardmore 2.988. We had a good time. Tony Evans won Pro Street. I cant wait to get mine out of the paint booth so I can race him, rumor has it he claims there is no way in h-ll that i will beat him this year.
My truck ran like shit. Couldn't get it above 5,000 rpm and didn't even bother taking it out of first gear. Backfired out the exhaust the whole way down
Ended up getting second. ran a 7.13 and the winner ran around a 6.7 for my class. Lots of trucks showed up for the classes and it was a nice turnout.
i was thinking about you after I posted. I knew you were racing yesterday also. Sounds like you would have them easily covered if you would have had her running right. I'm having some popping issues also. I'm going to close my plug gap up right now and go take some test passes!!
