I looked at the olds truck a lot. they had it lightened down a bunch, but not sure it could serve as a work truck every day.
Not sure I could find 500 lbs. of stuff to get rid of. I thought about inner fender wells, rear bumper, wood bed, etc. but it is my work truck. I do service calls/ pull trailers with small tractors on them. etc. and I need all the bed space.
I can get to the low 12's on a good day so I'm not far off.
I just want to do my best to make the 32 but that might not be possible without a bar, and I don't want to go there. Drag Week is the only time I race so it is really insane that I am even doing this. I haven't even made it to the track since last drag week. Hope to get some time in to go make a few passes before I head to St. Louis.
The dominator seems to have better street manners than my old 850 Demon and am planning on running it daily.
I think I have lost what little mind I did have...............What an evil thing Dr. Frieburger invented............

The Olds powered truck has a Ford Panther front end under it- that takes off about 100# but it is a lot of work. It inspired me to do the same to mine. After talking to you in BG a couple of years ago, I am sure you know what you can do to lighten that truck up. I would certainly get rid of the inner fenders and try to find a used fiberglass hood. You could do a little swiss cheesing with a hole saw in plenty of places if you have time without affecting the streetability of it. A little less weight will have that truck in the 11's in no time. Good luck!Why think when you can be doing something fruitful?
