Our Super 10 outing today at the Texas Motorplex was a complete success!

The truck performed as we planned, like Bob Frey said, "straight down broadway"

However, the Texas heat was brutal,

*100 - temp
*3900 DA
*of course, very hot track

At 3275 pounds it ran 10.48 on the first full pass, this is very good given the conditions.

The one problem we encountered is the truck is 90 pounds lighter than we expected. I had already entered the race as a "C" truck so I could not move up a class. In addition, we had no reasonable/safe way to add 90 pounds within the time constraints.

So, in order to not create a problem I withdrew from the SS race and ran the no-box bracket program. We got the first round win, lost second round and came home very happy.

More updates and plans and details soon. I am too tired to continue just now.
