A few years in the making

Finally got my 79 f-250 4x4 with a 400 out of the 14's, and ran a 13.806 last night at Bandimere. A little carb work, and i see lower 13's.... The carb work, different slicks, and freshen the transmission (slushbucket) and maybe ill hit my goal of gettin the heavy mother into the 12 second range!!!

that would be awesome to see it run in the 12's John. 13's is very respectable for a heavy 4x4 truck.

Miles, when are you going to come out and run on the Mountain??

IM planning on running Pueblo and Julesburg this season, Not sure if ill make it to Douglas, but Im planning on the division finals out in Topeka!!

I am to the point where i am analyzing my inconsistency by the thousandths of a second, instead of the tenths... I think i found a magic combo.

I don't think we are going to make Bandimere this year. We were planning every Sunday at Douglas, Julesburg on the Fourth of July weekend and Topeka in August. Sounds like you r truck is running good. Its nice when you run a XX.55, XX.57, and XX.56. Sure makes dialing in a lot easier. I usually break out when that happens though.

I liked yesterday, 2 passes EXACTLY the same, and one .002 slower, then one time trial that was slightly slower because i slacked off on the burnout procedure. (only got to 2nd round before rain out)
