Yea Todd that would be alot of fun, maybe we could bet together at VMP,
would be 50 miles closer to ya than Richmond Dragway. Although Richmond is a
quicker track. Tim and I have been trying to get together somewhere so he
could borrow my slicks. What times have you been running lately?
These truck are pigs when it comes to weight, my little RC weights 3670 with
out me, and 3870 with me. Not much you can do to trim weight off the truck,
spare tire weighs 50 pounds and the tailgate about 40. To be honest, I have
run just as quick with the tailgate on!
Hey Tim, lets get something together, Todd sounds like he's ready to go in
the low 13's!! In a 4XXX lbs truck, no less!!! hee heee

You guys let me know when you plan to race again and I'll come up that way.
I plan on dropping as much weight as I can and maybe even going with the big
150 shot. I think that would put me low to mid 13's.
