Why did it say the first one was a lightning? That was obviously a harley truck. Either way we gotta do something about this.

They don't know the difference!
What kind of tool runs a 14.9 in a Lightning? Thats sad.

It was supposed to be a Built Modded Lightning accourding to the post I found of the vid! My comments where a really bad builter, tuner or ****up driver to run 14's! I ran 13.6's stock when I bought my truck 4 years ago

Its not a built lightning and it was my first time to the track with shitty ass street tires I do have couple if bolt ons. All I can do is keep upgrading the "L". And yes it is sad that I ran that time.

Ah.. all you need is to practice launching. Even on a bad track with street tires.. with practice slowly rolling to the floor you'll get the 60fts down into the 2.0-2.1 area. Once you do it'll run low 14s or a high 13 in cooler weather.

Don't sweat it. It takes time to learn how to launch a lightning.

Come on guy give dsgbolt a break! He has never been at the track, That was his first time ever!!! He had bald tires and didn't know to lower the tire pressure! We where not BORN knowing we got to learn how to do it! I learn over the years and with the help of guys at the track and net. Instead of making fun of it maybe give him some advice for him to learn howto run too!!!

Thanks SS THIS. Some good advice would help too. Just give me a little time to get it down and I'll make better times. It's just the begining for me.
