I had 9 runs. First 5 were in the afternoon with air temps at 93....nasty hot. Truck did not like it at all. Traction was weird....sometimes it would spin, sometimes not. One run in third the truck slid to the right really bad, which freaked me out! Wind was blowing loads of dust onto the track from the moto park next door. Most runs were 14. to 14.1 Sixty foot 2.2 to 2.3 But my mph was huge 104-107. Three runs I had to completly let off I spun so bad in first and second. I could not leave above 2500 rpms or it would just spin.
After the sun went down I ran 13.8's all with the same sixty foot 2.2-2.3 and mph 107 - 107.7 For such a slow et thats a hellova mph IMO. I would guess all the spinning was giving me the high mph? Experts care to spain it to me?
I really thought the 4.88s would have helped my 60 foot but it didnt. There was definatly lots of driver error in there too!! I am not making excuses. My shiftlight was set at 5500......it would be flashing just as I crossed the line, so I never ran out of gear.
With my mods I thought I would have been faster but the power just wouldnt stick with our slippery track. I had to shift into 2nd under 5k rpms or it would just spin like crazy.
Overall I had a great time. I would have liked to run a low 13 or high 12 but that wasnt happening. Nothing broke, the truck got lots of attention and sounded great. My two friends mentioned people really watched when I was at the line.....said the tone was just awesome!!:rock: My friend ended up winning the street class division in his 84 Vette and took home the trophy and a nice check.
I dont plan on getting DR's so dont bother. I plan on getting a mustang with an auto so I can compete. Just running is fun but I want to be able to compete.
So Roy can I join your club of having the second fastest 14 second truck? LOL
