    Stroked Lightning

    Absolutely love these trucks and was looking for some pics/videos. I know Gene has one, but I haven't been able to find pics/videos of it. Can anyone point me in the direction of finding some please?

    EDIT:

    Found pics of it in the photo gallery and the video of it making history with the 11.519 @ 119.26 mph.

    Are there a lot more Stroked Lightnings out there? Any other pictures/videos that you guys could point me to please?

    Yea but those 4x4's are slow

    I built the one and only Stroked Lightning but have shortened a few other trucks for some friends of mine. There are some more pics and vids at www.northtexaspowerstrokes.com . I might be able to bring it to the meeting at the lake on August 20th.

    There is only 1 Stroked Lightning.
    Brian C ownes it, Gene made and drives it and SoCAPS named it. It is a one of a kind truck. I like it too...

    In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:
    "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
    1. Jesus Christ
    2. The American G. I.
    One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

    I think the truck is an absolute beauty!

    I remember DPM having a Stroked Lightning in it once, but didn't think it was the same as Brian C's. After carefully reading the article and seeing the truck again, it makes sense.

    That site you gave me is giving me all kind of errors and not wanting open pages.

    Thanks for the help guys!

    Well maybe if you think your truck launches so much faster, I bet Gene will be more then willing to give a friendly Ford on Ford race to see how fast you truck really is? That is why Gene and the Lighting is so liked, He does not brag..

    You just have to beat a 1.61 60' time with that big old 4x4

    It should be a fun race Mike , you could win if I break or let you win

    Break or brake?

    I guess either would work.

    i guarantee i run lower than an 11.51 within 6 months. sorry gene, but you're going down! it will suck losing to an outdated 7.3 for a second time but you've got to be humbled at some point.

    So what is it you are going to be doing to your truck to get it below 11.51? What is your best time to date?
