Ya' that was me in the Dark red ride. I had a head light go out on me so I headed home so the po po don't bother me. About time someone pays attention to the other pickups. Anymore everyone are ***** about who's pick ups faster and what not. I like power don't get me wrong. I like seein the trucks and the guys wanting to talk about them and helpin each other out. Thats why im in this club. The GM and Ford guys wont even say hi they just stick there nose in the air. Oh well thats why i have not came out much. Nice ride man. Ill try to get out some more see if we can blow some smoke on some tree huggers.

CRead, I saw you again last night on college, but you were headed north and i was headed south. Too bad we werent on the same side of the road, i was having some fun with a couple of ricers that apperently dont like smoke, or being out run by a 3/4 ton pickup.

Watch the smoke boys fort collins PD are cracking down on us. I got popped cuz i smoked some ricers a few weeks ago. Lady cop was cool about it but visible emissions you have to apear in court. I went and it was only 72 bucks but I missed a few hours of work. I would of fought it but it was not worth my time. I gave them my emissions test but that don't count unless it was taken the day of the ticket. It has been a big joke at work because i'm a diesel tech for cat. We called smoke court and 72 bucks patched the ozone I guess. But watch out for them hate to see ya on the side of the road cuz of a stupid thing like that.

It was rather dark but I did see the decal in the lower passenger side back window. I believe it was a blue 2500 crawling south on 25 going over Dry Creek about 4:30 pm today. I was lucky I got to bail on to E470. It was marginally better with all the snowfall.

 

[telliott]

That was me

Were you racing?

There was a white Dodge diesel running 13's.

Right now my times are limited to the stock transmission.

When I hit the throttle, the RPMs to to the govenor speed and I just have to wait for the converter to catch up. The engine has plenty more power, I just can't use it with the stock trans. :{

 

[Jeepr]

No, we were just driving by late, probably like 10pm, and stopped in. You were held up waiting for them to clear the track. I live in St Louis, was out there for work and visiting friends. We went back the next night and watched for a while too. I snapped a pic of you with my camera phone, but it pretty much sucked, as it was too dark and I think you were moving, so it's a blur.



The time they posted on windows, that they obviously used to determined when you got your green light... what does it come from? Was it the last run, average of a certain number of runs or what?

 

[JGrosso]

The 15. 7 on my window was just my dial-in. It is the number of seconds you think the truck will take to cover the 1/4 mile, based from the times the truck ran earlier during time trials.

It is used to handicap vehicles of different performance, giving the slower vehicle a head start based on the time difference, but if you go quicker than the dial-in, called a brake-out, you will loose the race unless ther other guy brakes-out by a larger margin.



Anyhow, the reason for the cleanup (when I was waiting at the starting line), is the guy in front of me leaked something all over the track. The track crew told me the car before him may have droped something and the car before me, hit it? They came back with some large chunks of bondo that was also on the track?



I guess all that waiting for the track cleanup worked in my favor, the corvette I was racing had a -0. 001 redlight...
