WOO HOO !!!


HOLY MF I THINK THAT LAUNCH WAS BETTER THAN (ok I wont say it)
THANK YOU EVERYONE (I mean that from the bottom of me Heart)

Sal maybe from saying it all these years I finally got me wish, HELL YA I'M FASTER THAN GATOR !!! I'm so happy, oh so happy .... hehehehe

Jim sorry it's been a CRAZY week, I'll give you a buzz in the morn but Thank You for all your help (Thumbs Up)
(BTW I did speak to your Dad today ; o )

Ok it went like this
I only ran it "1" time, WHY YOU ASK ??? Bottom line there's an old saying around these forums that goes like this, YOUR ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR LAST PASS. When I came down the return lane all I knew at that point was it was A LOT (insert 6 Holy MF's here) faster than anything I ever experienced before, and there Mike was standing in the middle of the return lanes with his hands up in the air like I did something wrong (insert WTF here) ??? I pull up and he yells SO HOWS IT FEEL TO RUN A 9 (insert there is truly only a few times in life you get the feeling I got right then and there)

I got out of the truck looked at V and Mike and said I can die a happy man. And I aint making another run cause I'm going to savor this moment until JDM day 07 in which "maybe" I'll spray it again. I then turned the day into Friend appreciation day and Vinnie and Mike "both" ran 10.0's in it.

Thank You Vinnie and Teri for opening your home to me once again, Vinnie for all the Help, the loaning of tires, flat bedding it, your time and labor last night and just being a GREAT friend. Mike of course for selling me this Monster and all your help today and showing and explaining everthing to me (you must be a good teacher ole Ronbo surprised everyone didnt he ; o ) And of Course Jim for building this FRIGGING BEAST.

I "hope" someone got it on vid, I got V's 10.0 I'll post it in a minute
Thank You Dave and DelValLO for having me, A GREAT DAY WITH GREAT PEOPLE, woo hoo.... Top Gun Jim for the Generator, Freddy, EVERYONE.....

thats what its all about right there, can you say consistent as the day is long. I dont know of many trucks that can do this, run the numbers all day long and then drive it home.

First off, CONGRATS ROB!!!!!!!!!!!!

and ya, Jim you read my mind....look at those runs. About the only diff is maybe heat in the engine/tranny/ambiant air, and driver weight (sorry V!) But other wise, that friggin truck was on autopilot for 9's!!!!!!

Thanks Whip (Thumbs Up)

Jim you can say that again, JDM sure does build and tune them like no one else. A HUGE @ Jim Jim Julie Sean and JDM
This truck is truly on rails and consistant as hell

Oh Ya there's always the "1" BAD RUN of the day
(ahem ahem yes Vinnie ran my truck more than I ran my truck and it was his BAD RUN) (dam I must Luv that Big Guy or something ... )

Sorry Jim but my guess is after V running 10.0 in MY truck he's going to be breaking your ***** to get his truck back and now he expects NOTHING but going straight to the 9's. Psst psst he'll pay big for that figure me in for a K
hu ; o ) hehehehehe....


(The Bad Run of the Day)
1.437 - 60FT
4.186 - 330
6.469 - 1/8 Mile @ 107.44 MPH
8.441 - 1000FT
10.113 - 1/4 Mile @ 135.05

On frigging Rails I tell you.....

Here's V's 10.0 Vid


And the Bad Run of the Day
10.1 Vid

Congrats again old man.
