Went to the local 1/4 mile track on Sunday to get some baseline runs in. The weather was good and it was a nice day for racin'. I was hoping to get a 15.8 or better.
First run
60' 2.654
1/8 10.644@69.44MPH
1/4 16.233@87.08MPH

A little disappointed, but at least I beat the Escort ZX2. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> I spun a little bit.

Second run
60' 2.555
1/8 10.495@69.47MPH
1/4 16.081@87.15MPH

Better launch this time. I was pleased with this run. I figure not too bad for a 5000 LB. truck. Also, I had 3/4 of a tank of gas. I should see a 15.8 pretty easily next time out.

At least you didn't break anything like I did. My best was 14.6 @ 91mph then some thing broke. I'm going to take it in Monday. I't drives but sounds like an old ferd right now <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">

 

my friend hit a 10.3 on his stock 98 excab/short 2wd last night. first time for him at the track too. 1/8th of course

 

was that 10.3 in a 5.7?

 

I went back to the track today with alot less gas this time. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> It was a pretty good day for racin' again. I got in 5 runs today. I had a hard time launching without the added weight of the fuel today. I also tried to tach it up at the line on a couple of my runs, not good.

First run
60' 2.530
1/8 10.446@69.85MPH
1/4 16.030@86.96MPH
Spun a tad bit, but a new best. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Second run
60' 2.342
1/8 10.211@69.86MPH
1/4 15.774@87.59MPH
WHOOHOO, I'm stoked. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> New bests all the way around.

The other 3 runs were from 16.2-16.0. I'm excited that it did that well, it was just hard to get a good launch without spinning. This damned peg-leg is holding me back I think. I can't wait until aftermarket stuff starts coming available for my truck. I'll keep you guys posted.

PS- Fast4.8, I hope there's nothing seriously wrong with your truck. That's the worst feeling when you hear the sound of breakage. Hopefully the dealer will take care of you.

 

Had to update the sig. <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />
