First Run

11-02-2000, 02:55 PM

Well got to the track last night with Jeff Sparkman.

All 1/4 mile.

1st pass
13.80 @98.7 2.136 60'

2nd pass
14.03 @98.7 2.232 60'

3rd pass
14.02 @98.6 2.265

I had a traction problem so I'm ordering some DR'S and I think my blower belt was slipping as I was only seeing 5-6lbs.

Not too bad for never running the truck and not racing at a track for 18 years.

It's a 2 hour drive each way but I'm going to try and make it back next week.

I think it might have a 13.50 in it.
There was a typhoon there running 15.50's Jeff was my witness. There was 2 gen 2 trucks there 1 14.40's the other 13.57 with a chip.

Hey Joe,
You forgot that the L that ran the 13.5 had lighted logos on it.
No wonder it went faster.
The other question has to address who had the faster color.
