Me too.

I thought you or the truck was retired from racing? :)

atleast I'm not the only one who thought that.:mrgreen:

He has seen the two threads though. Trucks been sitting for awhile they threw in the trans on friday, he just wanted to see what it could do.

? I've raced it at bowman once, dorchester twice, and SGMP once in the last 2 months.......... You can hardly call that retired.

I have been busy so i can't have it out there every weekend like I used to, I'll still bet 20$ that my truck has made more track passes than any other lightning on this site.

you left out the most trips to mexico...:bigthumb:

Im just messin but I'd take you up on your bet if there was a way to prove it.

Mike sold his truck a while ago, but would probably still hold the record. That truck used to never miss a weekend. He also used to send it to races out of town w/ Buckner on a regular basis.

idk, or care for that matter, but I will say that ive personally seen about 1000 time slips from Randys truck lol.

No wonder they both had the motor out more than most of the others. They run em hard.

Hey, i've only had mine out ... Ok whatever i aint gonna tell no lies.

Chris, i saved every slip but 2 or 3 that ive lost somewhere at the track or at the house, so I can almost give you an exact number, I think you'd have a hard time coming close.

I can't believe the transmission is still holding togather, I baught the truck with 30,000 miles bone stock and it has over 90,000 on it now with at least 20-30,000 of that on the track or to the track, other than 3 trips to Jax Fla its never been out of the state under its own power.

Ive thrown all mine away but weve been racing together for about 4-5 years I doubt there is that much difference.

My truck doesn't count because its not on the site anymore.

but

I had almost 1000 before Randy even started racing his truck. Hell Darryl Buckner used to borrow it for bracket races back in 03-05 when his cars were down. I had my truck almost 4 years before most these guys started racing theirs, that was a good head start.

I knew that, thats why I put it in my post "on this site". There's no doubt yours had a ton of passes, I was at the track with you on alot of them. I bought mine in 05, I took it to cooper river with a paper tag on it a week later.

3 weeks before I bought my truck and one of the reason's I bought a black one was because I was at NAPA changing plugs on my boat and you pulled up to the 110 pump at the pride with slicks on. I remember thinking "boat+truck+slicks= Novel idea" two - three weeks later I bought one.

Cool! never heard that story before.

I honestly don't remember my first pass in mine anymore. I just remember it ran 9's.

Ran my first track pass in my truck in 2005. Only ran 11s then. Took me 7 years from the time I bought it to get it to run 9s. But I finally did it last October. Bet I don't have 100 passes on it.

Oh, you meant nines in the eigth. My mistake.:oops:

Jim

Well, looky who it is welcome man!

Lol ass!

Nice to have ya here Jim.

Ladies and gentelmen I'd like to introduce you to one of the fastest Lightning owners in the country.

My car ran low 8's when I bought it and it still does, but Ive picked up about 15mph:?
