You have to learn to roll into the throttle if you are not 4wd. But, it can be done even on street tires. If I smash the pedal I will spin all through 1st and 2nd and sometimes part of third. Depending on road type and conditions plus weather I can hammer it after 25 without loosing traction.
I rolled into the pedal at Fontana last week and did the following on street tires.
60'........... 1.986
330'......... 5.627
1/8.......... 8.723
MPH......... 79.22
1000....... 11.424
1/4......... 13.729
MPH......... 97.51
That was at almost 3000 DA.
Practice, practice and practice.

That was not directed at you although I have not seen you at the track in some time now, lol. It was just a general statement for anyone who wants to put on the shoe if it fits.

While everyone is making excuses(it's hot, too far etc. blah blah blah) for not going to the track I have been religiously attending as many events as I can both at Irwindale and Fontana.
Where you able to go to Nelson Racing Engines for me?
Also, does anyone here have a BCM(Body Control Module) they don't need?

The wife is all that stands in the way of a TRD S/C, Caltracs, DR's, and a REAL locking diff, not that sorry toyota ALSD. But nooo, she wants a house. lol.jk.
Seems like all the 5.7 toyota guys with my mods and the TRD S/C are lifted on big *** tires. what a waste.

It's been a while. It's just been hot or something comes up last minute. I really wanted a crack at that one dodge ram R/T that was there last year. We didnt get a chance to line up. He's on a dodge forum, but wont reply to my PM about the sept. 3 date which is the next time I'll be going. Hopefully it will be cooler.

What about the light Blue TRD with a SC. He ran 12.7 or something last time in Fontana. He is a member here but I can't remember his screen name right now.

That would be Franky (gutz). He went to Iraq for a few months (marines). He's back now but been kinda MIA on the forums. He's stationed in San Diego so he doesn't come up here much unless it's for the 1/4.
