What the heck? Surely your company can reschedule the conference around our event! Hopefully, you'll still be able to make it to the ROCK and watch John spank some Viper hiney!!!

No, not you Chris. I think the comment originally came from John P and yes it was face to face. First drag race (for this person who remains nameless) went up in smoke on the line. No traction. I'll say this, I think his post is right above this one.

Don't get me wrong, I'm likely to be worse unless I get some practice in. I've thought about going to Farmington to practice on their 1/8 mile on Sundays, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Looks like amateur hour will be coming again on the 22nd in Jacksonville................

Yeah that was me... I tried to launch in two-wheel drive on my first run after an injector install. That was a no no... It probably looked cool though!

Yea, always the same weekend-every year- Some day my grey matter might remember!!

I am expecting to see BOTH of you spank a Viper Hauler!! Remember---Shafts don't break until you hit 25lbs. of boost---So that means 24.9 is OKAY!!!!

As I recall, Wayne was charging $50.00 for two dyno runs.

Mrs Smurf here,

Really looking forward to April 22nd. Finally had a chance to play today at Coastal Plains Dragway Park. Didnt' break 14.0 sec but came pretty close, 14.146 sec. Looks like Chris will have to buy me a pusher pump if I want to keep playing, 0 lbs for fuel pressure wasn't good on the last two rounds. I guess that would make it my anniversary present! Maybe a little birdie will drop it off while I am out floating in the big blue pond for two weeks in April.

Another great event in the making. I will have to help long distance until a couple days before the event when we get off ship. Have we come up with a flyer yet? I can look up some other flyer and send it out. I have a week before I am out on ship.

Hello
Glad to hear from you Hired Gun.
I will have to arrive late so I can make sure I don't park close to either yours or John_Ps "SHOW ROOM CLEAN TRUCKS".

I just read my wife's post, sure is tuff having a wife that likes diesel trucks as much I do.
Time for me to figure out which fuel system to get on the way, maybe I'll just go ahead and upgrade the injectors while I have the truck apart who knows.

I was reading somewhere and there is a Duramax out there that can do a wheelie when it shifts. Just kidding trying to pull Top's leg. Are you out there lurking in the shadows with your fire chief helmet on?

See Ya
Chris

Jared:

I am in the process of compiling a list of hotels for you guys, hopefully with better rates than normal. I will get it posted way before the event. Glad to hear you might be able to make it down.
