Oh then it definetly hasn't change since you have been there last:D Except they did repave the track but I bet all the other shit is still the same:burnout: but they still know how to move a shit load of cars down the track and prep is normally good if they didnt to fuggered up fri night:marchmellow:
 
hey Matt, do you have a floor jack? i have one but its old and heavy as shit. i'll bring it if i have to but i'd rather not, i like my truck beds without dents:D

Tell them to send you during the summer and drive up:D I dont want to be here in the winter either got an extra room:confused: :marchmellow:
 
had fun watching the money cars run but the track temp was 126 degrees. We could not hook up. We tried different burnout durations,launch rpm's, and caltrac adjustments. Nothing worked. I thought my caltrac adjustment was going to work cause the truck initially left hard then almost immediately just broke loose. We're going to route 66 next time.
 
Definetly sucked but oh well now we have time to make some tweeks. I definenlty noticed a differance in the caltracs on the way home:marchmellow: Locker is all i have to say:p Roy move over bud I beleive I am the new 14 sec king:D 14 75mph missed third:marchmellow: So any clatrac tips will be greatly appreciated, I thought it was like some big secret but is just a guess isnt it:confused: :marchmellow:
 
Matt, have always had traction issues at Union Grove. The solution for me was slicks. I have also found the track prep a little better on "Slicks Only Nights" Thursdays I think.

I am just gonna bring my own VHT and spray down before I stage:burnout: I am not even gonna fake it but locker is al I can say no way around it. The caltracs and slicks may get me a little bit better. Unless I put a locker ( still waiting on eaton to see if the E locker can handle the torque) I will not see the full potential:eek: So saving the pennies. Plus I am not building a strip truck and I know what ass I can wip otherwise.:D But it was fun and some fast cars. Fastest was a 7.69 but I didnt see what kind a car it was, and a 36 chevy truck was doing low 9's:burnout: and it was beautifully done. Oh I figured out that if all 3 people are running you can get video or pictures. Which was a good thing I guess:marchmellow: You still getting sean to come out here?
 
I think you will love the locker rear-end. There are some slight downsides, but they are minor.

I have dropped the Sean event. The Viper Club site stopped me from posting on their site...something about me not being a member, so I just dropped the program.

That is why I am checking on the Air locker or E locker Loc on demand instead of the one you have full time, waitng back from eaton to see if it will be able to handle up 800ftlbs/tq:p I know they can handle up 600 ftlbs of torque but I want to make sure, and I will probabaly go with a 4.30 gear.
That sucks about sean how many people would we need to get him out here?
 
The 4:30 should be perfect with the Roe 10lb...your truck should be a very quick strip machine...my guess with good 60 foot times you should push close to the mid-elevens.
