Dialed a 17.48 ( I can hit the brakes, right) broke out with a 17.27 and 6 mph slower. You ever tried to slow an 11,000 lbs truck down from 75 mph?

Not 11,000 lbs, but countless times in a 7500-8000 lb truck! I ran the full NHRDA series in the western US this year, along with the NADM nationals in Bakersfield. The funniest part was when I tried racing my diesel Jetta instead of my F350 crew cab dually, and hit the brakes on the top end. I ended up letting the guy around me since I wasn't expecting to park on the finish line! |
