I got some good natured razzing, but they still let me park with the Marauders!

Some quick shots taken late in the day (my first of this truck)

The weather was great, and it was a lot of fun meeting those of you I've met online, but not in person. A great group!!

And the Toddster running Big Yellar for a 14.85 ET!! A 7800 pound truck, matched with an Impala, WINS! What a day!

You still need to just go buy it back...

And seeing the truck whoop so many race cars was priceless. But it weigned twice as much so it should have had to pay for two admissions!!! :laugh:

Nice two seater Donny--not sure I would call it a truck----seems to be more of a "R"oadsteer--anyway--nice and at least you got the color of the first MM with it--it blends well--be careful in that fast little "R'---Tom

Yeah, Tom, she's more a roadster with a big trunk than a pickup truck. Chevy classifys her as a truck, as does the state of Alabama DMV and my insurance company, which is fine with me because of lower insurance costs.

BTW, who was it that blew by me going south on I-85? Your exhaust sounded fantastic!!

Donny, thanks again for tossing me the keys to your new ride! That thing is awesome! Anyone who thinks those SSRs can't haul ass hasn't driven one...

Donny...you're giving me a little on 2 accounts:

1) My dial-in was 14.85...my best run was 14.864 *note to self...from now on...put your best timeslip in your wallet and just tell everyone...instead of handing it around so it gets lost* Oh well...I've got about 27 slips from last night and today...best that I physically have in my hand was my Round 1 win of 14.91 (see details below)

and 2) Truck + me in it tipped the scales at 7,940 lbs...so let's just say 8K
