Made 4 passes. First was just plain embarassing. Couldn't get traction worth crap, rear kept breaking loose, ran a 17.8 :jerkit: Noticed everybody else was having trouble getting traction on the right lane.....guess where my first pass was made?

Lowered the pressure on the rear tires. The rest of the runs were made in the left lane. Next 2 passes were almost identical: 15.8......still had traction "issues", although not near as bad as the first pass.

Last pass was the best for me: 15.6. Father-in-law ran against me on this pass, he ran a 15.2. I improved on my reaction times with each pass, but they still were nothing to write home about.

Truck is stock, except for a K&N drop in filter. Full street trim, with about a half a tank of 93 on the passes. It was about 50 degrees that day with a pretty good bit of wind blowing, mostly sidewind.

Get that 60 foot down and go faster!

Try to get it into the 2.1-2.2 range. You'll probably break 14's or close to it, stock.

14.9 would be great. I feel the truck is capable of a low 15 stock. She's definitely strong from a dig.

Although my father-in-law's reaction time was better, I still jumped out ahead of him and stayed ahead until the 1/8 mile. By then he had caught up with me and slowly pulled away. That Marauder of his really pulls on the top end.
