Cool night at the track!

Hey guys!  I normally only race in the mud, but after getting my new 523 in my bronco I decided to drive it to the local 1/8 mile for a few test passes on TNT night.  I have a set of 37" Goodyear wrangler military hummer tires on the truck and have found that this stroker will smoke the tires on demand!!!  
Anyways I made a few passes and could never really stand on it off the line due to traction issues.  

On my last pass of the night a guy w/ a new (yellow w/ black racing stripes) Camaro SS pulled in to the lane beside me.  Boy was I nervous!  The lights came down and we hit the gas!  I feathered the throttle in first gear, shifted to second and rolled the heat on.  The old 5000lb bronco pulled right away from the Camaro!!!!  I couldn't believe it!  First night to the track and got a win light!  

Truck ran a 8.48 @ 82mph w/ a 1.984 60'

I didn't think that was too bad for my pump gas hunting truck!

Anybody have a guess at what she would run if I could really lay into it off the line?

Thats supper    

Haha no spray yet!  My flow tool from Steve Johnson just came in so I'm getting all that set-up as we speak!  I've gotta hunt down some slicks!!!

Congrats on the win and the 8.48@82 mph in the 1/8 mile.I think my old LTDII ran a 8.24@84 mph in the 1/8 mile with a 1.84 60ft.Did anyone video tape when you beat the Camaro that would be cool to see?I ran a 9.39@72.64 mph in the 1/8 mile and a 14.74@92.09 mph in the 1/4 mile last Saturday with my DD bone stock 2013 F-150 Supercab 4X4 EcoBoost V-6 and 3.31 gears.

Later Mark.

You know how those videos go.... My wife's battery died just as we were staging..  I think she was more mad than me!!!

To bad the battery died that would have been a cool video to see.   

Later Mark.
