Default Track times for the HO

I took the HO to the track for the first time on wednesday. It was pretty warm out and I did not do any weight reduction. I was also running on the stock 20's, and am still having problems with belt slip. My best run went like this:

R/T .298
60' 1.976
330 5.567
MPH 62.61
1/8 8.545
MPH 82.14

I was pretty happy with this for the first time to the track with this truck. Hopefully with some weight reduction and less belt slip I can do better. I figure I should be low 13's in the quarter with 1/8 mile times like that. I just wish there was a 1/4 mile track closer than Enis so I could put down some real #'s.

Good numbers, I had almost the exact same 1/8 mile numbers as you on a 1/4 mile run and I went 13.44 earlier this summer.
