win anything?

 

Not really anything to win, except for the stereo contest, or show n shine. I didn't participate in anything. I just watched. Too worried about lifting the head, like the Schmitt's did in their 24v drag truck on it's first pass. 100+ psi!!

 

Guess that could do it

 

it ended early, i thiught it would go till midnight or so

 

Yeah even with my buddys mustang breaking and taking up some time (the yellow one that got towed away) it still ended nearly a half hour early. Oh well....

 

what did he break?

 

I was at the suds last night and one of my friends told me it was something in the rear end. The engine in it is not the orignal one, it came from another friend's 94 that got totalled. He ran a 13.2 with it so it has pretty decent power.

 

wish my truck was ready or i still had my dually:rip:
