The Deuce and the dragstrip

Saturday was truck only day at Woodburn dragstrip 1.5 hours south of me. I have attended for several years and last year I said I wanted to bring the duece to generate a laugh. It does not get much slower. I was able to get 6 passes down track. Very consistant numbers which enabled me to win the bracket races at the end of the day with the log trucks. I was still winning when I parted and headed home. It was more fun than I thought it would be. The tower folks talked to me in the tower about how to win at brackets. They loved the truck. I am definately going back next year. With a turned up LDS inside. The fastest time I spotted was 137 MPH.

I am having troubles posting the videos. I was up till past 2 AM trying to get them loaded. They are huge. I will try one at a time.

I want to see video of your burn-out.

Don't bring up burnouts, Al will spew on about how thats mis-use of a truck!

Hopefully this will work.

Jeez Gimp, You would have to bring that up!!! Hey I thought about it.
I forget who that was but if I didn't say sorry, I'll say it now. Sorry and that really was pretty cool after I woke up a little. I wish I was someone who could say I had no regrets in life. Bad posts happen. No hard feelings I hope.

Cheers!

OK this bites. I took the vidoes in 8MP resolution. My truck is slow and the files are big. I'll try a video hosting site.

This is awsome ... I have been telling my boss i am gonna go to the track and put him on the trailer.he has a 9 sec buick. Guess i need to get my reaction time down..and.....

Ok I think I got it. I have probably 20 videos of everything. It's like being a kid again.

I have more loading at the moment

Looks like you had a blast. I would be very careful until you get the wheelie bars installed though

More loading.
