Heavy Mod N/A Class
Well, I finally made it down the dragstrip, only took me 5 years since buying the truck
I ran at the Sacramento mini-Nats, the track prep and air seemed decent. I left my truck on street tires and full weight, I really wanted to know exactly how fast it is in its daily driver form. It weighed in at 4425 with me in it.
First two runs of the day:
run 1- plan was burnout in second, race it in drive. I forgot to put it in drive and bounced the rev limiter in second for a bit before I realized my mistake- 14.075 @96.89
run 2- same as run one, except I remembered to put it in drive first. It ended up grabbing third at 6,000, I knew it had another 500 in it. 13.86 @ 101.06
Next two runs:
run 3- left in second, shifted to 3rd at 6600, best run & best 60ft of the day. 13.72 @ 101.57
run 4- first round of eliminations and randomly selected for a bye run- lucky too, I left OD on. 13.94 @ 95.94
run 5- second round against Corey, he thought he was going to break out and lifted right before I passed him. 13.76 @ 101.73
run six- semi-finals against Doug (landbutcher), trucks were warming up, but I was closer to dial- 13.839 @ 101.49
run 7- Final eliminations against Bruce Bridges- we both raised our dials because of the heat, then the track decided to let us sit and cool a bit. End result- we both broke out, Bruce was .194 too fast, I was .042 too fast for the win
Now that it seems fairly consistent with mid 13.70s in street trim, its time to see what some race prepping can do
