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.

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

Jeez Gimp, You would have to bring that up!!! Hey I thought about it. :grin:
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!
