DML,

Had a blast at Houston guys(and Renee)! Too bad I couldn't stay Sunday. =(
 $%*!&@# work! Lookin' forward to the next one!

Anyways, here's the run down on my truck:

93 Dak LE CC 5.2L (95k miles!) 2wd auto 3.55 single track
weight: 4130 lbs w/me(160 lbs) in it & ~1/2 tank o' gas
Magnecore wires
Autolite Platnums
F&B Stage I TB
MP SBEC
K&N FIPK
Dynomax Cat and UltraFlo catback
Dual 12" Electric Flexilite Fans
R&D Performance Underdrive Pulleys
255/60 R15 Goodyear Eagles

Previous best: 15.915 @ 87.8 at Wall Dragway - like anyone on the list has
heard of it!

My best run (EVER!!!!!!!!!!! 8-) ) (t-gate down, spare on, hood on - run
w/it off at home track, worth .2s and ~2mph on avg with it off):

R/T: .561 (decent)
60': 2.504 <-(AIEE!! pretty crappy - need traction!)
330': 6.800
1/8: 10.262 @ 71.84 <-(woohoo! good mph, bad time)
1000': 13.205
1/4: 15.682 @ 90.75 <-(again, kickass mph, bad ET though)

I think I should really be running 15.2-.4s - if I could hookup. Oh well,
still my best times ever! HRP is about .3s and 3mph faster than my home
track. Whoop ass! =) Need some gears (3.9s), LSD, and sticky meats for
14s...hehe!!... At any any rate, I'm VERY happy about the times I ran.

Bernd's truck is an ass hauler for a lifted 2wd V6 that weighs
4300-4400lbs(think I remembered that right). Of course, the two of us had
the slowest running Daks there - DOH! Everybody else seemed to be running
pretty good as well. Mike had his best mph - 94.xx.

But, nobody's Dak had anywhere near the cajones as the 6000+ lb Dodge Ram
Dually Cummins Turbo Diesel - ran a best of 12.98 @ 105 (yes, you read that
right) on Saturday. Then there was that TNT motorsports Viper that ran
9.8s too......

Brian
DML meets RULE!
