Made the 1st run (of my life!) about a half hour after I got there (2 hour trip).

Time__11:10a__11:36a___12:26p___12:46p__1:00__1:08
60ft___2.221___2.385____2.211____2.513___2.128___2 .414
1/4 mi_14.957__14.440___14.143___14.503__14.135__15.29 3
MPH___88.43___96.79____97.13____97.83___96.97___95 .95

Best reaction time was .737 on my first run. My worst was the 2nd run - 1.014. The "car" next to me did a 1.481 60ft. with an 11.279 at 116.88 mph! It was a little loud!

Truck is stock except for MagnaFlow exhaust. Was hoping to run 13's.

I didn't adjust tire pressure, just let it cool off some between runs. Unplugged the boost bypass after 2nd run. I pulled the tailgate on the 4th run and went slower, so put it back on. First three runs were made with the baby's carseat but my wife suggested I could steer more comfortably without it. (Steer? I thought I was going in a straight line!)

All but the 2nd and last runs were made in the left lane. Thought I'd switch to the right and see what happened. Well...you see what happened! Not that I wasn't spinning on the others, but I couldn't seem to get traction. I know I wasn't the only one having problems...

My best run was after FractalDragon did a big smoky burnout. Met FractalDragon and Blown318 (nice flame job).

I know I can hit 13 with more practice and adjusting my tire pressure.

But you know what they say, a slow day at the track is better than any day at work!

 

New rider...broken-in horse...



This SRT-4 Neon wanted to play just after leaving the track. I didn't (baby and wife on board - and if I was a cop with a quota I'd be hanging around when the track is open).

 

It was good to hang out today. The weather SUCKED!

You'll get alot better with some practice. I did.

 

yes practice makes perfect........
No body is john force there first time out.....
J/K..... oh BTW thanks for the sprite!!!!

Hope we can all hang out at the track again soon!!!!!!!

 

You launch maybe the problem and will improve with practice.
Most of the stock Gen2s I race run 2.0s - 2.1s average for their 60' times. You get into the 2.0 range and you will be running high 13s with easy. Good luck

Yep, it's all in that 60' time. Practice and wittle that down to a 2.0 or even a 1.9, and you'll chop 0.4 sec off your ET and be solid in the 13's. I guarantee it.

Try a tire pressure of 25psi in the rears and that may help a bit too.

 

Hey, I know that truck!

Glad you had a good time ole'

I can hear it now. "But honey, I have to go practice in order to get a better timeslip."

I had a great time, just wanted that 13.XX.

Actually she said "pull the carseat, tailgate, 2 fast food drink cups and spare". She also said "next time bring the tire gauge" (I had a small 12v compressor with me).

We need to meet up and see what that HD will do.

 

Here's FractalDragon...


...and Blown318.

 

My pic is bigger

 

im faster!!!!!

 

No you're not! You ONLY run 13.8's!!!

 

Oh yeah...... I forgot............ :o
