Default finally ran my truck in the 1/4 mile today!

well traction was an issue today, i swapped out the back 20's and put some stocks with a 255/70/16 tire on em (i just got them yesterday and thats what was on them) they ended up being BIGGER than the tires on my 20's which sucked. i spun off the line everytime and barked 2nd, and one time even barked 3rd. thats WITH pedaling it out the gate. onetime i just layed into it and spun through the whole 1/8th smoking the tires down the track.


best time of the day was

R/t .201
60 2.305
330 6.169
1/8 9.331
MPH 76.96
1000 12.064
1/4 14.402
MPH 96.02

best MPH of the day was 96.82

best R/T of the day was .054

WORST time of the day ( spining half way of track)

R/t .177
60 3.360
330 8.472
1/8 12.410
MPH 67.12
1000 15.422
1/4 17.887
MPH 90.44




time for longtubes and def time for better tires if not drag radials

Not sure if you looked at it, but that trap speed he posted is good for solid 13s. The only real excuse for trapping over 100 and not running 13s is traction issues. I agree though, if he actually did get traction, that's pretty sad
