Nice rig - love the progress :cool:

Re: drag truck update with pics
 

WOW...now that's quick. What's the truck weigh? Has the chassis been certified? Do you have your competition licence?

Re: drag truck update with pics
 

the chassis is certified and I don't have a competition licence yet but I will! I used to have a 67 camaro that went 9.20 on the motor! I had to sell it when I got married and made a pit crew!

I would love to come down to Redding, how far of a trip is it? I am planning on having it ready for the Goodguys Nestalgia drags in Seattle in May. I hopw the thing runs what i expect. but i know it will be quicker then the previous ran 10.70, should go easy 9.80 but it may be faster.

DJ, what is the wieght of your truck?????????? mine will be 4000 with me and all the race fuel and NOS.

Re: drag truck update with pics
 

Lookin' great, DJ. Keep us updated on when and where you're going to race. I could make a little day trip to Montgomery easily.

Re: drag truck update with pics

When do you think she will be ready to race? Looks bad. I mean that in a good way. You are really doing a great job on it and I am sure most of the work is done by that young good looking boy you have there. Your future racing partner.;) good looking truck.

Re: drag truck update with pics
 

Thanks 86 I can't wait to get it running! I hope to crank it next week! I am past ready!


Kevin!

Jim I'll post what I have but you really need plates in side the bed if you mount it like this! I think you could mount it using the top and bottom of the bed only!
