Those of you who know me know i've been wanting to hit the track for sometime! Well got the chance today /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

First pass I was still alittle ansty after having tore so much stuff up so, I did an easy test pass on my lowest setting (40hp) and #2 only /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

12.976 @ 104.56 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Second pass, got a little braver LOL! 80hp setting and 1 stage nitrous.

12.635 @ 109.49 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

Then they prepped the track so I decided to let it fly on the third pass /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif 120hp setting, both stages of nitrous and I pounded the 2nd stage as soon as I left the line.

12.099 @ 112.38 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

And just for those of you that seem to doubt what my truck weighs /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif I scaled it at the Flying J right next to the track after I left /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

7,840 lbs with me in it, tailgate on and up (the way I raced) and a little more than 1/4 tank of fuel /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bleh.gif

Angel (slowford) was there and got the first 2 passes on video. As soon as he gets them to me I will post them /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

A little tweaking..........look out 11's /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

[OptimusStroke]

At a boy Greg! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif
Nice to hear your back in action.
If you're trying to talk me into singles(besides my current kaos), it's working.

Dude, that's awesome!! Sure makes me wish my truck was an older model so I didn't hae these danged PMR's to deal with.

Congrats Dockboy, thanks for helping make the rest of us 7.3L owners proud!

 

[jat99]

WOW! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif Great times Greg and I am sure you had a blast. Not bad for a 7800lb truck /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Looks like when someone starts to get close to ya, you raise the bar again /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You said on the phone you thought it was much stronger and I guess you were right.

I know you will be in the 11's before the summer is over. You still da man Greg /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif

So how much did you spend on your engine to run 12.09 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

Congrats on the times, they are impressive. Does that thing got a HEMI in it? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bleh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks Brian /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

They had just prepped the track and she just stuck!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif

I could tell it was a good 60 when I launched, but was really surprised when I got the slip /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The first pass on fuel I was hopping all over the place /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif You will see as soon as I can get the video from Angel. Second pass didn't hop, but I spun most of the way through the 330.

Looks like I just need to get a crew with some bottles of VHT for every pass!! LOL!!!

Pretty sure those aren't stock forged rods.

Hmmm that makes DB the (well, need some videos) king of the ring.


DB 7840 & 112.38=755 RWHP (TDG)

BB 8100 & 109.24=716 RWHP (TDG)

dang it already....

Maybe you just need to get some slicks on there. Or at least the DOT approved ones /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif.

 

[Dockboy]

Thanks for all the kudos guys /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

 

[Code5A]

Way to go Greg! I vote you should have put that truck on a diet right there on the side of the track and cracked off an eleven something. You were so close. I will be looking forward to the videos.

Tom

 

[Atlantaboy]

The same as Snow White's ET?

Unbelieveable! History in the making for a 7900lb rig. That's stupid fast! Way to go Dockboy /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif

 

[jtharvey]

That is just incredible. A nearly 4 ton truck knocking on the door of 11's. With a little tweaking, I'm sure you'll be there before the end of the summer. Good RT too. Nice work!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif

 

[Cat_man_963]

Awesome Greg!! Just freakin AWESOME!!
