Had a decent weekend @ HPT Texas truck invasion . Headed out Friday night and loaded up the Yellow truck . Had a buddy of mine Jay came by and grabbed my blue street truck . We went out to test Friday night then stay the night at the track and race Saturday and come home . Friday night we unload and the Blue truck goes 11.19 off the trailer! Mind you this is leaving at 2000 on a footbrake and shifting @6000 . This converter will go 2800 and it can be shifted at 65-6600 . I ask the tech guy if they will let us run 11.0 index tomorrow and get the big NO. No bars etc. I crank 16 turn in the restrictor plate and 11.93 ....we are in . Yellow truck I moved the 2 step to 4400 and the shift point to 7400 and it goes 10.05 . This race is .400 pro tree , so I swap to the reactor button. Thinking with a bit of spray if needed we should be good down there . We ended up doing real well . Won both 12.0 index and 10.0 index.

The time slip from the final . This was against a super gas 9.90 truck with all the electronics. I scrubbed 3 or 4 mph on this pass just to make sure I didn't break out . I was on a 10.03 by split time . I pulled bottled water tire pressure gauges , anything I could find to try and get there . Pay out was good .
