First Race...

Me vs another F350 dually ext cab, early 99 diesel. I didn't think we were going to go until he got on it. Keep in mind we were in a 35mph area.

Well we ran up to about 50mph safely till I let off. I was in 80e and it looked like he had a programmer like a bully dog with an outlook or similar. His smoke poured out as I had him by almost a full length, with almost no smoke.

It was kind of exciting, but I don't think he was very happy as he didn't pull off to chat.

i raced a truck for the first time too the other day. I was approaching a major intersection at a red light. So i rolled up in the RH turn lane and came to a stop, the light for the traffic to my left turned green so i pulled out in front of them. Then this 8" lifted CC f-350 blew past me as i let off at 60mph in a 50 zone. We got to the next light and then i got on it, about half pedal on 120 and i was just cruising along, that guy must have been running a stock tune because he was about a quarter mile back there!
