Must be a Cummins?

yup, 14 sec one to boot. Pretty quick for a 7200lb truck on 35" tires

IHI, we run brackets, super comp, and some quick stuff if we can beat the bump. we run at norwalk, national trails, and pacemakers in ohio. we did run nhra divsionals and natoinal meets but nhra is making it to tough to even get in those places these days, ie: insurance on your golf cart ect.. oh well............we have just as much fun doing the other stuff.

I run brackets 98% of the time and Open Comp stuff once in awhile to break it up a bit, aint got the funds to race quick anything LOL!! It's crazy how every year the bump get's faster and faster in the typical 8/16/32 feilds. I've been toying with the idea of doing some 10.90 index racing but i dont know if i want the headache, i have enough fun doing brackets i dont need to worry about trying to purposely slow down a street car to run against purpose built super cars and such.

I had to laugh a few years ago wee were racing an 1/8mi track and there was a alky dragster running low 4's bracket racing he'd wait for what seemed like forever againg some guys, you'd hear him stab the throttle twice- burp burp and coast through the last little bit turnig on win lights
