Default first run at the track

ok so i finally ran my truck a couple of weeks ago at the gulfport ice rink and here is the results. 1/4--13.6@100, 1/8--8.4@82, 60 ft. was 2.08. i'm on 20'' SS wheels w/ 275 55's so i spun up until third gear. the blower hose came off shifting in 3rd gear so i had no top end power what so ever. i need some wheels and tires badly

Your times will improve as you get a little more comfortable at the pole and you iron out your little kinks in the system. Good run none the less!

i was really disappointed in it. i tried everything to help it out at the ice rink. gettin into it easy and slowly, but just everytime i'd hit boost it'd break loose. thought i had to break out the hair dryer on that run, hit second gear and it went sideways and got back into it. the time wasn't that bad considering i got in and out of it twice in one run.

yea but you need to go to hattie. i wouldn't be too disappointed in the times. you and i both know gulfport can't hook for crap. i vowed to never put my truck on their track again.

hattie isn't the greatest track but at least they do some track prep.
