Time isn't great but with the heavy wheels, traction issues, and your first time to the track it is a good starting point! I am sure you can see mid to high 8s on a good run.

like he said. for what you have you should really be seeing 8.6s 8.7s but the wheels are killing you. im sure the nelson tune is a mail order tune you might would even see a little more with a good live tune.

I wish I had that black truck on the slicks.. it reminded me Skeet's truck when Eric and I first met him.

I didn't have my truck out there. I wanted to see what the track conditions were like.

This is my truck
