Nice roll on for stock boost! Looks like the ty got eaten up, or at least that's how it appears on that small blury video. How was his launch? Odd to see a lightning beat a syty on a short little run like that from the dig.

looks like i was right all along....more $$$ wins almost every time.....the truck/car doesn't matter...anything can go fast.

My launch was fine. I was ahead for a very short time. He pulled on me pretty hard.

But again, I'm 117k miles, stock everything except a chip running up boost to 18psi. That's it. He didn't have a problem with traction either with drag radials. I was quite aware I was gonna get torn a new one, but since Robbie couldn't race, we had to get the "stock" truck in there for comparison. It was so short because he's a 12-second truck vs. a 13/14 second truck. It's also a little hard to see in the video how the launch was.

I'm not making any excuses though. Drew has a killer truck. Nick has a really killer truck. That was really a "both side of the spectrum" race. Hell, Nick's was on stock boost too. I can't imagine how fast it would be at 25psi. :eek:

I have a weenie stock Ty, but I think I held up well for what I have to work with. :) I'm not disappointed in any way. I have mad respect for Drew's truck, and when I can dump a few grand into mine, I would be glad for a rematch. ::brews::

I think I like the first vid better. :p

The built Sy was slightly overwhelming to say the least. Once they get it in top launching condition we will go again to see just how many trucks he'll put on me.

And honistly it is how much money you put into the trucks with regards to who wins. So time to spend more I guess. 8)

If it ever rains down there, get your rematch then. :D

Nick read your email.

Nice runs, maybe we should have a SyTy / Lightning shootout when it gets cooler.

i agree about the more money more speed premise. i would hate to race drew if his truck had as much money into it as mine....

Yeah well we've proven that $300 isn't enough to make you that fast. :p
