Go to www.LACR.NET for details. It is bracket racing, and there will be trophies. Any make diesel truck, any modification level.

Last event had only 2 Fords, let's see some more.

Better have that Furd running real good if you plan on whooping some of these Dmax's and Cummins trucks. Should be a lot of fun.

Ah, gotcha. I'm very aware that it is bracket racing, your previous post said you were planning on whooping some D max's and Cummins, sounded like you planned on going faster - I just know that if you want to beat a few of them, you better have that thing REAL deep in to the 12's [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] I hope some fast Fords show up, that is all we are missing out there. And by the way, there is also a trophy for fast ET on the day. See you there.

Forgot to add, as far as my cutting a light - I've given up on trying to drag race my truck. That 6 speed was a slow shifter when stock, now with that dual disk, its almost impossible to get through the gears with any speed or consistency. About all I mangage to do is tear up the syncros trying to force that massive clutch to cooperate. So I just focus my efforts in to someone who does have an auto.

Had a great time on Sunday we had a couple of good runs for the first time. We ran a pair of 13.99's @ 96 mph with the SoCAPS Red Racer. Which is a 2004 Reg Cab Shortbed 2WD , dang hard to launch too. My 1999 F450 2WD CC LB DRW weighing in at 9500 lbs. ran a 14.96 @ 90 mph.

Thanks to everyone that came out to play.
Thanks to John at DPS for all his hard work.
Thanks to Pat for the use of the helmet.
Thanks to LACR for being a DHRA member track.
Thanks to Brian C for making this possible.

So what's the deal Gene? Why so slow in the little red truck? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

weweld · 04-06-2005, 11:50 PM

We haven't turned it up all the way yet as we are 2WD and having a little traction problem to fix first. And for now we are going to bracket race the truck. We will get there just need a little time.
