You are a long way from home today! Enjoy our Chamber of Commerce weather. Be glad you missed early in the week (I hope).

I saw that on the news. "I 35 corridor", and I thought, that is right where I am going! Luckily I had to wait out one storm for about 30 minutes going across I 80. They blow through fast. Then I looked over and a second one was chasing me. Time to crank her up to 70+ MPH !!! Normally pulling at 63 and it does much better that faster you go. Powerband is better..........That thing got me a record low of 8.4 mpg on one tank. Still only 11.4 with a tail wind..............My last trip to Irwindale with my own trailer and the Demon I averaged 13.1 ............

Looks like you are getting the same mileage that I do with the TRX. I'm not even pulling a trailer.

Pic of my Friend, Mike, last Thursday at Irwindale. This is the Demon that I researched and traveled to view/verify for them before they bought it. Car was an exceptional performer from day one...........

Working on 3 more setups right now. Driver and Pass for the Octane Red Demon and one for the upcoming Halo Car.

There is 25 pounds of rems in that trash bucket.

That one is put back together and will likely not be raced any more. I ran 9.16 @ 150 in that car last January.

Now we are building the Octane Red car to mimic that car, but just a little more weight reduction. OOps, plus the John Sipple Trans and Suncoast Converter that were already in it when we got it. We are waiting on 315/55R17 ET STREET R's because with that converter we are going to need all the help we can get without doing a 15" conversion.

Damn. I can only guess how you did that. Mine looked the same after I forgot the tailgate was down when I was backing in a trailer late one night. 😳

If you go all the way back to 1988, it's the Third. I like the Tongue Jack I have now. It does not give whatsoever. In 1988 the Tailgate was a mess AND the Tongue Jack was bent.
The last one on my 2018 Ram I straightened myself with a crow bar and then put a new cap on it. It wa sabout 95% good at that point. This one. NOT. So, a $820 mistake. I would be good if I never turned Left. This Tongue Jack is pushed back but it is on the Left side.

If you look there is a small coat hook on the crushed Tailgate. That is my indicator to see if the tailgate is up or not. But that would be if I got to thinking about it going down the highway and could not remember.

So......I red necked a flashing red light on the dash right above the Inst Panel. Limit Sw on the tailgate completing the circut to ground and tied into the Cigarette lighter 12V feed on top of the dash. $10 light off Ebay and repurposed parts I have had laying around for years. I hope THAT is enough to keep the Tailgate safe.
