[quote=Agrajag;10688693]Wow, what did you do to lighten it up? I thought these trucks weighed around 3000.[/quo

I have nothing in the bottom of the bed, Lexan for windows, and fiberglass fenders front and back. Also no tailgate and just one race seat. I also cut off the back-half of the frame to add my own frame setup

here is my first day out with this truck ths is an 1/8 mile track.

1952 Ford F1 first day out ran a 7.21 - YouTube

 

Very nice!!!

Thats an awesome clip. It sure make the adrenaline flow doesn't it?

After two days of racing I feel like I got the crap beat out of me. But is was worth ever sore spot I have.

 

I can imagine! That was awesome, thanks for sharing the clip.

I am inspired!

 

 

Awesome!!

That truck really launches. I'm hoping to pick up a set of slicks this month and hopefully get the truck out to the track again in October

I missed the 1/8-mile part, I was expecting something different!

You running a flathead still?

 

Very cool! Keep running her!!

 

nice vids, might give mine a try after i save up and get 4-link in it. can't keep the rear tires from going up in smoke as it is without really babying it on take off

 

NO I pulled the flathead out... I went to the dark side SBC 355

 

Made a 6.99 pass in the 1/8th this is what it looked like. The in cab and top end video are the same pass.

Tom,

Your truck runs really good! What do you have in that thing?

 

Lance it's a SBC I see you in Charleston IL. I was at Coles County Drag way this past week only second time at this track. Nice staff and racers.

Next time your going to run at Coles County let me know because I would enjoy seeing your truck run.
