First off I wasn't planning on going to the track. I just filled my truck up with gas and I have the 20" SS wheels on. I try to race with about a 1/4 tank or less of gas and I like to run my 17's at the track. A few of my friends stoped by and talked me into going. I jacked up my truck and pulled my fuel lines off my gas tank. Then had one of my friends turn on the key and guess what?? It wouldn't pump any fuel out, so I put the lines back on. My 17" wheels that I like to use at the track were at my work in a storage room so I said screw it I will just go heavy. I figured with the extra fuel and the 20's that I would most likely run 12.9--to --13.0's.
Anyway to get to the track I burned a 1/4 tank 0f gas on the way there so now I am at 3/4's of a tank.. My first pass was a 12.864 at 102.40.. I was happy my best run yet... My second run was;
60'........1.755
330.......5.179
1/8.......8.078
mph.. ....84.45
1000.....10.619
1/4.......12.797
mph.....103.17
Anyway the air was great and it was a very good night for racing. I wish I would have had my 17's and an 1/8th of a tank of gas because I think she would have been close to 12.5's. I am changing my transmission this afternoon and next time I go to the track I will be ready (I hope) for some 12.5's.......
