Nice old Ranger. Really clean looking!!! We get mostly S-10's with V8's in them down here. Every once in a while I do see a Ranger or two!!

I hear you put down some good numbers today, Brian. Wanna clue us in? :)

How's your exhaust manifold holding up? I need one for the turbo coupe, i was thinking about going the same route.

Yeah had a great day! Only had 2 passes.

First pass off the trailer....

Second pass no vid but I ran a 11.70 @ 112.35 with a 1.60 60ft.

Both passes I blasted the rev limiter because the sun coming in my window made it so I couldnt see my shift light go off. She popped and nosed over hard both times. There an 11.50 in it Im sure.

I wanna take my Ranger to the track one of these days just cuz, one of the test and tune days, but I NEED a traction bar first so I don't break my new driveshaft like I did in the tractor pull a year ago :), With it's current setup I imagine I'm around 15sec...
