You have that truck movin out! How much were you sprayin?

 

Thanks
A 100 hot on progressive starting at either 65 or 70% about 3 tenths after launch.

I was hoping I could repeat my 7.59 1/8 from last Wednesday ( or better with the new caltracs) and drop into the 11's but, you know... seems like anything I do starts with a step back before I can manage to tweak it, learn how to drive it all over again, and move forward.
Fortunately had real nice near zero DA air tonight.

 

Nice run. Contests on new best time.

 

Thats moving for a big truck!

 

nice 60 ft. 2wd or 4wd ?

 

Nice! Congrats on a great time. 11's are just around the corner.

 

2wd, hope once I get the caltracs tweaked out I can get the 60 ft more back, My best without em was 1.62 vs 1.66 on that pass with them.
Of course same time with the caltracs it seems much less prone to blowing up the tires in middle to upper rpms of 1st gear. That in itself is fantastic since it's become an all to common problem these days.
and my burnouts look way too tame with them on too, that might be part of the issue.

 

the truck almost looks like the back picks up instead of squatting.....some shackles to level it out and trying different settings with the caltracs should drop that 60 and get you launching harder.

 

thats exactly what cal-tracs are supposed to do. the trick is to find the sweet spot where it doesnt seperate too fast, or come back down too fast. what i noticed on the 2nd video is the bed looks like it's bouncing up and down. if you have adjustable shocks, try firming them up a few clicks and see what happens.
