Dont race anything from a roll.....Work on your launch and you may be very suprised on what a L will be stock. Keep in mind that HOT summers make for SLOW lightnings!!

Congrats on getting the L. There are a whole lot of factors involved in racing. Best thing you can probably do for know is get some good seat time in and try to race when its the coolest. What mods have ordered?

welcome & congrats
can't tell what you can beat, without knowing how it runs
get it to the track & get some seat time and let us know how it does.
ENJOY

Iv'e noticed that the heat and humidity change the performance. I was in Houston this weekend and the L didn't have as much pick up. It does run better in the mornings when it's a little cooler.

Congrats and welcome, yeah, get some time behind the wheel and get to know your truck really good before actually racing, know it's capabilities and tendencies so you can handle the power and braking on the street, it's always safer to know your truck.
