What’s up board. Just got a 2017 Avalanche Raptor. I’ve had f-150’s for years and finally got a raptor. Traded my Lithium Grey 3.5 eco for it plus some money. Lol.

Welcome and congrats. Nice truck, cool color. What do you think so far? Any accessories planned?

Very nice choice. Don’t see a ton of that color around. Welcome to the forum you are in for a great ride!

Thanks!! I love the color. Was a must for me. Only had 12k miles and was 30 minutes away. I had to jump on it.

I love every second of the thing so far. Something about having one that is hard to describe.

Not sure on mods yet. Main reason I came over here. I’ve always been into drag racing (still am) but fully intend to get it dirty.

Much appreciated!! The color made make the move faster than I had planned. I had to have that color as I saw one leaving dealership when I bought my lithium Grey f-150. Total buzz kill that I never forgot.

Wow that’s a low mileage ‘17, nice find. The color is really nice too. I don’t see many of them, but it’s something very different.

Drag racing? Uh I’ve done some of that over the years. Still have something in the garage that needs some TLC lol. But the trucks fun and a lot of things you can do. Depending on your ideas, you can learn a lot. There are some good vendors here that can help and have good pricing too.

Thanks! I probably wont do much early on outside of some new vinyl I’ve already ordered and weather tech mats. I know, exciting! Lol. I love the things as it is so much right now I don’t have the itch to jump on something yet. I’m excited to learn from you guys and see what’s out there.

Yea I grew up drag racing with my dad and we still do it together. Got a mainly stock Ws6 Trans Am that I bracket race. Building a s-10 ss to bracket race as well. My first two vehicles so they are very sentimental. Had them both 20+ years. What you got in the garage?

All the best

I am like you. Have a Camaro I have had since my hay days. Daily driver for years. Took it off the road and basically turned it into something of a bracket car/max effort street car several years ago. Non narrowed 10” tire with Ford 9”, 400SBC 400 turbo manual/transbrake, subframes, 6 point roll bar, etc etc etc as you know what’s in these things. Need to finish body refresh and paint. Good 10 sec pump gas car.

Small block or big block for the S-10? NA or Forced fed?

Raced with my brother for years all over. He’s a true Pontiac guy, 455’s.

You guys race in FL at all over the years? Gainesville? Or?
