Fast Passes at the Dragstrip

Diesel Drag Racing

      Hey, it's getting warmer (here in LA anyhow) so it should be time to head out to the dragstrip pretty soon.  Most towns have one that isn't too far away, and even if you can't race a quarter mile, there's always 1/8th mile tracks where trucks like this quick 6.4L Ford can eat some imports.


      So who here drag races their diesel?  Got any good stories?  I've been to the track a couple times with Rust Bucket, but not as often as I hoped I would go.  Still a fun time.  So far my best in the 1/8th was a 9.6@73mph but that was only with 264rwhp.  Now with 340rwhp, I hope to knock a good margin off that time.
