Finally didnt suck at the truck pull!

So for the first time in about 3 years I actually was pleased with how things turned out at the local truck pull. Ive twisted my driveshaft in 2, blew up my rear yoke, hopped all over the place, and just generally sucked all over whenever ive entered a pull. BUT I DIDNT THIS TIME!!! Finally got things dialing in, and w/ just a couple more improvments, I think the old girl will do real well. Finished 292.?? feet, farthest for the day was roughly 340ft from a new chevy.

VVVVV VIDEO HERE VVVVVVV

No, driveshaft is just a stock shaft off an older truck. Dunno if they made em any stronger back then, but its not aftermarket.

Yeah, I didnt even know he took a vid until I parked and got back, and saw he had his phone out. I was stoked!
