Went racing today

got to take the truck out racing, still have some things to sort out, and was having to do second gear starts but I did manage to get first in Modified so all, and all not bad. Was running pretty lean, and starting to pop at high end from lack of fuel so I was backpeddleing some towards the end of the track but all in all not to bad of a day considering I didn't have anytime to test this thing before loading it on the trailer this morning.

Kick ***!

I've had mud running wishes for a long time... Maybe when I get tired of my street car stuff again I'll turn the 79 into one. hehe

Until then, carry the banner!

here is the video of the truck from sunday's racing I only put one on, and it's 5.39MB so a little big for you dial up guys, but I couldn't get the program that I use to get wmv files which are smaller to work for some reason

BTW there is a race in Lamoni, June 25th, and then July 3rd in reasoner again for any that are interested, and if any of you have 4 or 6 cyl trucks they had one each sunday in those classes, so everyone would get a trophy, but they would really like to see some more of those type of trucks coming up so bring your 6 cyl ranger up, and race in 4, 6 cyl stock or open class.

that was a bit of a lenghty download even with dsl... nice run! They had the mud runs down here to My Sterling Saturday, didn't get to stop, but it looks similar to what you ran on there... but all I saw was a JD front assist with loader sitting in the middle of one of the lanes... wasn't all that many trucks there, maybe 20...
