Tried a little SCCA this weekend.

All I can say is I NEED BETTER TIRES! Did OK for the first time I guess VERY short course). This was NOT by best run but the only one with video so far. Actually knocked off a considerable amount of time at the end of the day during some "fun runs". This morning got to run in the RAIN! Had fun though

Course was a little longer today. Much improved over yesterday. It rained this morning but dried up in the afternoon. I feel like the truck did prety well considering what else was running. Not the slowest but definately not the fastest by a long way! The wife even got in some runs. I am hoping someone got vid of her last run....she "hung it out" but saved it in one of the turns!

Autocrossing is great fun... no matter what you run. In the past I have run many different trucks (Nissan Frontier, Tacoma (4 cyl and an X-runner) supercharged Tundra) and lots of different cars. I have a great time in everything I run.... the trucks usually aren't real competetive given their size and weight, but I still think it's a great way to spend the day, and to see a beast like ours on course is pretty nice.

I wish I would have known you were going! You should have left your normal tires/wheels on there. When are going next time?

 

[Yellow venom]

Looks like alot of fun!! Would be a blast!

I haven't autocrossed in years. Well, except for the SRT Track Experiences I attended at VIR and Summit Point. Did they group the vehicles by class?

Di is hooked now! She also got some track time in the "MSBLUENEON" and had a BLAST. Guess I will be in the market for some sort of small car. As far as the truck I am looking into front springs, rear blocks, and a set of Caltracs. Also may get the 20" steelies widened to 11" and running Toyo R888 315/30/20s. Traction is a BIG issue on a tight course.

FS Stock is also the same class as a new 5.0 GT unmodded so it's not really a fair class for our 5,000+ lb bricks.

There was one there. He ran 44s to my 47s.

I met Daniel. Nice guy! He was turning some good times too.

Glad you had a great time. Autocrossing is alot of fun but you should find a road course where you can play. The truck will love a bigger course. I've got 1 track day on Aug. 1st and I'm trying to get 1 or 2 more this summer. When you Hit 150mph at the end of the straightway and 300 feet later you're at 30 and in 2nd gear you got to love it.
