A buddy was talking to Larry last night and he was talking about the price tag and said it is gonna try for a 5.70 today Heard on the feed that they (Larson) basically want to put the ET record so far out there that nobody else will be able to touch it. From what I understand, that truck was largely financed by sponsors that Bangshift Chad acquired, but I have no confirmation on that.

Here's the latest version. He's talking about building a Gen 3 Hemi for it with a hair dryer. It's also now a 5 speed w/Dana 60. Must be nice Last edited by clonestocker; 09/14/14 01:51 AM.

Heads up racing 10 second cars against 8 second cars, they should have had a bracket race. I noticed a lot of racers didn't even show up for the race even though they had a spot. That was a waste. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J3K94cRC1c

They had a bracket race for the daily drivers Friday night. This was something new and the two finalists were an 8.60 car and a 9.0 car. Plus an 11 sec car made it down to 6 cars..........Anything thing can happen and did Monte
