At the Woodburn (OR) Dragstrip truck drags last July 30th, I dialed a
15.80 (1/4 mile) and lost on a breakout to a guy in my club by running
a 15.774 at 84.50MPH. The best part is... I was on the brakes!
This was in my 95 RAM Club Cab SWB w/5.9 Magnum which weighs 4950 lbs.
with driver and a full tank of fuel.

The previous two runs were a 15.824 at 85.94 MPH and a 15.782 at 85.64
with a .500 (perfect) reaction time, which earned me $50.00 and a free
pizza at the restaurant that sponsors our twice a month club meetings!
