Someone from the track snapped this pic last weekend, and sent it to me yesterday. This was the launch on our 11.57 pass with a 1.50 60' time...

The other truck is a "Little Red Wagon" with a diesel that I think was running in the middle 10's. It was quick!!!!!!!

Hey Matt, does lowering the truck make a big difference on the track? I mean I understand why it would but have you seen someone do a before and after run with essentially the same truck but different heights?

Not really. It's more aerodynamic, but I've yet to see it show any noticeable gains at the track. Your spring rate and shocks will make more of a difference than the height of the truck.
