I only street drag race, never been to an official track.

I just strive to be the first to the posted speed limit, then I (usually) lay off the throttle.

I give the rice burners a little surprise.

I'm only mildly tuned with an SCT X3 and a full Sun Coast Transmission package that my local Ford dealership rebuilt my tranny with, plus I have a F450/550 transmission cooler in lieu of stock and a Mag-Hytec deep tranny pan

Once I can afford to stud my engine, then I'll re-tune.

I ran my PSD at Lebanon a few times.

What kind of slips does your white truck turn in?

Technically I am, I race my 89 Mustang. It's nothing special, more or less stock motor with bolt ons, been mid 12s. Its two tone black and gold, so it stands out from the crowd, some here might have seen it!!!

A couple of you have mentioned racing over at Lebanon Valley in New York.

I noticed that Jannetty Racing in Waterbury hosts Drag Days over at Lebanon Valley Raceway.

Also see Jannetty's What's New section.

(Just figured I'd post the info.)

lebanon was awesome...we should keep that in the bank as a possible new england GTG. i go to a lot of horse events right near there, its torture driving by with the horses and not being able to stop!
