One badass road racing truck!! Just got back from Pueblo this weekend. Did 2 days of road racing on the new power and suspension mods.
Biggest improvement compared to last year was the lowering kit and probably even more the adjustable shocks. To be brief I was catching a BMW Z4 in the twisties as well as a race prepped Porsche. On the straights (longer then a 1/4 mile) I was reaching speeds of 125-130 mph...needless to say not many could/would keep up with me
EBC brake pads did very well, had to use more brake on this track then at Hastings (last year) and once I got them warmed up they did great.
This truck is/was THE focus of the weekend. Other racers had heard a truck was road racing with them and couldnt believe it. Numerous compliments not only on the sub 2 minute lap times (1:54.701) was my best Sunday but how the truck sounded at full throttle down the straights pushing 130 mph. THEY LOVED IT. In fact, one quote was "its the anti-Miata". The truck is the opposite of spec-Miata group. Other racers could not believe that this truck could go around a road course...much less overtake BMW's, Porsches, etc. Granted there were faster cars in my group. I'll post pics of the cars I had faster lap times against later on Monday.
Kept the front shocks on "9", lowered the rears to "7" with some air pressure adjustments for my fastest time.
Anyway, the truck handles MUCH better with the adjustable shocks. Add over 700 rwhp and you've got yourself a great road racing truck
Many pics will come later, I'll also provide a link to photos taken by a professional photographer once they are up on the website.
