Mine was great as it is every year! Of course I wasn't driving my truck as it isn't close to being done.

Re: How was your racing season this year ?
I only made it to the track once, but I set a new personal best....about 10 times over. Just kept getting faster every pass after some tune tweaking.

Re: How was your racing season this year ?
Oh wow, lets see.
race #1 broke before the 1st round #2 missed the race because i was playing in the sand #3 had the truck back together, went out 1st round #4 broke a pushrod coming out of the water box on the 1st time trial race #5,6,7,8,9, and 10 the truck has sat on the back burner waiting for things to cool off so I can finish a nice little pump gas 383, will put some street gears back in it and send it out looking for a new home. Have quicker car apart getting things freshened / re-certed and will try again next year.

Re: How was your racing season this year ?
half azz... test and tune night has been hit or miss .. too much time between rounds due to track clean up..
Thrash to get there , have the tune ready get up there make a pass yep it looks good. Time to get a little mean with the tune up. First time I am ready to pull the second kit on line. Check my line for leaks in the pits after NOS jet change. All good turn bottle off. Wait get up there , in the box line loc on, burnout limiter on, in 2nd gear or pull third , release line loc, roll off throttle out of the box. Great I am ready. In first gear both kits switch's on, purge looks good solid stream. on the t brake annnnnnnd release and I am off !!!!! WTF truck falls on its face... yep I forget to turn bottle on.. ARGGGGGG.. Guy after me makes a mess of the track end of season for track. On the drive home I bent the crap out of my right lower A arm as I crossed the train track. Rail was popped up for whatever reason. So now I am looking into new tubular arms. Nice way to end the season... Marv you need to stop playing in the sand ha ha
