Not that it is a huge deal but I finally got the truck into the 12's last night. I had 4 runs and all were in the right hand lane. Temperature was 71.1 with a Dew Point of 54 degrees. The Track is 1250ft above sea level.

Since the ink is so crappy I will list the times so peoples eyeballs don't go crazy
R/T... .464
60'... 1.825
330... 5.325
1/8... 8.290
MPH... 82.90
1000... 10.834
1/4... 12.985
MPH... 104.49

Going to a DA correction at 2395 the times and traps converet to 12.63 @ 107.44

As of right now I am very pleased with the trucks performance but the facility I go to is not so great. Last night they had no tower times (people were pissed) , you had to go through the water box (people were pissed) and it took forever inbetween runs for very few cars (people were pissed).And the ink on the timeslips are nearly invisible (I"m Pissed)
I did talk to many of the local racers who said basically take your e.t. and improve it by .2ths because the track is known to be a slow track. So to say the least I am very pleased/excited. My best time was coming in directly off the highway, car sat for 20 minutes and then I ran the 12.9. All the other runs consistantly got slower because I was getting huge hesitation between the 2-3 shift, I actually think the car was too cool (if that is possible) and not at operating temps. But after my first run I was happy enough to go home. I will go back 1 more time in the fall on a good weather night. Or find a better track.

Very nice run! The potential of these trucks is truly amazing


I'm afraid to take my Jeep to the track because once I get bitten by the "speed bug," I start moding like a mad scientist looking for that next tenth of a second. I can't stop myself. :D

I'm trying to keep mine stock so I have to live vicariously through you guys who track your trucks.

luvr 6.1,

On tuesday we will have very similar mods, my Kooks & Mopar/Corsa will be installed. I too am looking to go "12.anything"... My times in my sig were with stock exhaust and converted to a 12.9ish, however I want to see it in black and white (faded ink would still be ok).. :p Congrats on your run!!!

Awesome run!

Thanks polidentgrip, the young guy at the track who video taped the run is supposed to email it to me. If I get it I will post it, I'll have to figure out how to post a video clip, I have never done that before?" The only thing bad is that the time/speed towers were not working for anybodies runs that night, like I said before the track needs some major improvements. Your paying your money for your times, so at least have the equipment up and running and if not post it on your web site or offer a discount......I'm still pissed the more I talk about it. Sorry for the rant, thanks again on the complement.:)
