Your truck can 10's and you can win money if you can drive consistently and the truck will run close to the same #'s, that's what it's all about and that's why i said you need some seat time before you can be a real racer.
Mopar, there's four tracks in No. Miss. that they call 1/8 mi. tracks but in fact are shorter. Them being Pick Wick, Fulton, Blue Mountain, and Byhalia about 600 ft.. There may be more but i don't know them, Jackson Miss.(Byram) is only 500 ft. and used to be a NHRA certified track. the reason they don't run a full 1/8 mi. is because there are some scary fast cars in the area and stopping is a problem, even with hanging out the laundry. Case in point a few weeks ago a promod car at Holly Springs full 1/8 went 3.91 @ 187 and dropping the laundry before he hit the first mph lite. Another guy in Tupelo Ms. holds the nat'l record at 3.63 @ 217 for the 1/8 mi. Zip. Blue Mountain Dragway 600ft track some pretty fast cars for around here W/O actually being tubbed out. 275 Drag Radial Class http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x5IMloKMY8 |

I've seen a pair of alcohol funny cars run 4.30's at Fulton. There's about 200 ft of asphalt beyond the turn off and believe me they used every inch of it. 4.30's is definately scary fast at either one of the tracks i mentioned. One of the guys that was at Byhalia with us (Tommy Fowler) has been low 4.'s in his dragster at Byhalia and said he thought he would never get stopped, made the turn off about 40mph. I've seen him run 4.70's at Memphis in the same dragster.
