I'm sure a Lightning car run 13.1's bone stock w/ nothing removed. One thing's for sure, it doesn't matter what they run stock. Everything changes and equals out once you add modifications. I've seen trucks run 14's bone stock and run 12.50's with a chip, pulley, and air kit.

CasinoDuck filled in the blanks about the street trim.

stock like the day I bought it
13.2
13.1
13.2
removed spare
13.3

I don't know if it was cause the track started getting slick or cause of less weight, prolly a lil of both; but i didn't hookup as well....
Thats flucking excellent
I always hate those guys/gals that make one run and call it quits. The clocks have been know to screw up. But you backed up your run twice and I commend you. A little pratice at the tree and you have a stock 12 sec truck.......saweeeeet!

Great run. Did you run a lower tire pressure?

I don't know much about Cecil or how the allowable downgrade works....but yes, Hallsville is known for good times. I run at another track in this area alot. It is closed right now, but in comparable weather...I consistently run about a tenth better at Hallsville than I do at Ennis.

Houston Raceway Park is the same way for me....I ran about a tenth better there than I had at Ennis....I dunno for sure why, but I bet elevation is part of it.



It doesn't matter what lake a record Bass is caught in. It is still a record...................Congrats Sayle...great Run.


Rocks

All good Pickup Man.

It's unbelieveable I know... that's what makes it that much sweeter to accomplish....


Tire pressure: I forgot to lower pressure on my first run. I lowered the pressure to 30 on the second run. Then lowered to 27 on my third run...
