Well went to the track for the first time in my truck... It was kinda pathetic, but everyone has to start somewhere... Looking over the logs I spun pretty good every single time... 4.10s, TruTrac and new tires are definately next...

It was just a 1/8th mile track since no other 1/4 tracks were open.... Anyways besides one legged wonder, 3.42s and crappy stock pizza cutter tires I thought it did decent. OH and the tune was all screwed up, I have not got to finish tuning the truck so my AFR and timing are all jacked up. Anyways enough excuses...

60 - 2.420
1/8 - 9.839
MPH - 74.34

 

That's a good start. Stock 4.8's run 10.6s for the 1/8 mile in my area.

 

and it's something you will get better at with practice too. Congrats for getting out to the track and giving it a go. Fun isn't it?

 

Yeah it was pretty fun, except the very first run I over staged about a truck length cause I did not know where the staging was, and the track guy got mad at me for having my heater on, dunno what that was about. I am going to work on my tune and I am going back in two weeks. Oh and doing a very small burn out (just to clean the tires) sucks when only one tire spins.... I felt like some kind of retard, especially after over staging... I need more practice. Oh and I spent about an 30min trying to figure out how to BlackBox log. All in all it was fun, I met dlt76028 (David) up there and did some logs for him..

 

You have to start somewhere. Thats all the fun in it for me. Spend a little money and time, go to the track and see what it did. Along the way you learn how to drive it a little better and meet up with guys that share the same interests.

Don't get down about it. Have fun!

 

I am not down about it at all, it was really fun!!! I was not expecting much, so no real disappointments, I mainly just wanted a starting point. In the next couple of weeks I am going to buy/rent some dyno time to do some more tuning, I found a local place $100 for 6 pulls or 2 hours. I tuned alittle bit at the track, but I think the dyno might be better.

 

Hey nice runs! I was gonna try and make it out there but got stuck at home doin housework......let me know next time you go out there i checked out the schedule of the track and its gonna be open every sunday I been wantin to get a good run in the cold weather last time i went out there it was too damn windy and my trap speeds were off 3mph......

 

I think me and another guy are planing on the 6th! It was pretty cold today, I forgot my jacket... It was not crowded at all, we were able to run as much as we wanted!

 

Cool, if you guys go out there for sure on the 6th let me know and i'll be there! And il get my buddy to come out with his TB SS, tryin to get him to do some mods on it.....

 

I will be sure to PM you a couple of days before, hopefully I will have my tune more inline by then!!
