Also, I seem to remember a 600' track being in the Mobile area. There used to be one up here until the went back to 660'. That may explain the times.
you may be correct, i need to look into the length to be sure..... years ago i know it was a 660'...but there were lots of issues with shutdown area... it very well may have been shortened? i just know that the timeslips read like any other, with a 660' time..... this guys <tundra> 60 ft's were under 2.0 secs.... and he may have had something under the plastic that i couldnt see? i saw the nitrous and lots of plastic **** on there though, and he was haulin ***.

i think i will call the track operator tonight and see what the exact length is...

there was a pro 5.0 turbo mustang up there a few weeks ago down in the 4.90's @ around 145 mph. i don tknow if that sounds right, or if you can figure my mph?? i am around 9.3 at 72.... if there is any calculation that will show track length from e.t.......

if there is, i am all ears.

Did you just call your truck a "Hot Rod"??

Yes I did. A hotrod is a modified vehical used on the street and the track. Now it's no T bucket or anything but it is "my" hotrod. When people say hotrod they think of 50s style cars and trucks modded for dragracing. I modded my truck for dragracing so a HotRod it is.

The Tundra is definitely a stout truck that will hold together, but the more I see them the uglier they look to me...not proportioned right or something.

Mobile is only 600', so add 0.4 seconds at ~72mph. Emerald Coast at Holt is 660'.
