I sold the truck today. I'm sure gonna miss it. I'll still be around the pulls and the forums, but it will be a long time before I am back out on the track in my own truck again.
Kinda feels like being dumped by your high school sweet heart and kicked in the crotch at the same time. And I would give anything to be moving up to the Mod class lol. I doubt that will ever happen, financually anyways.
The truck is now in Illinios, I think they said about 1.5hr's west of Evansville, IN. He says it will be mostly a daily driver and hauling bumper hitch trailers. He says he might hook to the sled a few times. I said, "no you won't. You will hook to it once and then the addiction will quickly kick in and you will be on the track every weekend". lol
That was the only time I was ever towed off the track. TS last year, 2nd time i ever hooked it to the sled and broke the mainshaft. I warned the guy about pulling in 2nd high.
Got laid off back in Dec 08. Held off as long as he could. Really hated to see this thing go... He is really down in the dumps about it..... He is really funny intoxicated though..... Picture if you will...a 15ft tall drunk beanstalk... LOL Lord I apoligize......
