First hook for 2012

Ok, So we went to Blanchard pull (was an MTTP pull) couple weeks ago. First time with the 35" tires, was very nervous, didn't know what to expect?? Track was good clay power track. Brad, our engine builder, suggested to come off line standing on it. "Break em loose and let it eat", was his words. We were first hook so we could decline and come back third if didn't work out. We came off the line standing on it and all went great. I could feel the front tires wanting to pull back and forth (see in cab "Go Pro" video on the YouTube site, link is upper left corner of this page), it finally evened out about 100'. Larger tires kept engine RPM down, Brad likes that too :-). Ended up going 269 and some change, winning by about 20'. Good night overall. Overall was good first hook for the season.
