Just a small reminder that the Piedmont Mopar Fun Run is next Saturday May 7th at Farmington Dragway near Winston Salem NC. It's a 1/8 mile track, not my favorite. At my age I can run an 1/8 mile on foot, LOL! Street cars need at least a 1/4 mile!

Great show I went last year but it's our anniversary weekend so we will miss the show this year. I recommend anyone who hasn't been to go

Very very nice for you and too handy being so close...get my cap this month and shall use it for excursions like this.
That will be great. Be sure to show pictures of your new cap. Be glad to meet you if you're ever this way! I'll put my cap back on after car show and racing season is over. We usually camp in the fall and early winter.

I finally got it all cleaned up and ready for the show and race tomorrow. Big chance of rain but I'm keeping the faith!

Just got back from the Mopar Fun Run and car show at Farmington Drag strip in Farmington NC. I was able to win a 3rd place award in Dodge trucks of all years out of about 50+ trucks. I ran 4 consistent 1/8 mile runs of 9.3 which was a little disappointing for me when I was running 9.1's and one 8.9 1/8 at another track 3 weeks earlier. I tried it with my throttle controller on full race mode and ran 2 runs with a 9.2 before we got rained out and didn't get to run any more. My truck runs different with the throttle controller, I've tested it enough now to where I'm not going to discuss it anymore. Buy one and do your own test with your truck.
