Thanks for the newbie racing help
I REALLY want to thank all of you who gave me the help on what to do at the track, thanks to you guys I am now offically going to go broke!
Went to the track today for the 1st time in my life (you gotta know what's coming!).
To be honest I was a little apprehensive at 1st with all the advice I was giving running through my head as I staged. Needless to say I was looking around etc and when I looked back I was staring at a green light (tree drops fast), dropped the hammer - got a little spin - she hooked and was gone...
Let off a little too soon at the end I think.
R/T was VERY newbish (1.070)
60' was 2.592
1/8 9.581 @ 79.33
1/4 14.571 @ 97.52 (gotta do it again)
Run 2 (after resettling my internal organs and waiting like a small child needing to pee in the staging lanes)swore I wasn't falling for the lack of attention to the tree again, I'll stare it down, didn't work:
R/T 1.137
60' 2.198
1/8 9.142 @ 78.86
1/4 14.169 @ 97.71 (didn't let up this time was my best MPH)
OK last try (don't wanna beat the truck in a race I can't win <yet> ) A little spin but I staged "shallow" by accident so my R/T was better but only cause staging closer made up for my lack of concentration (my 5 yr old reacts quicker to NO than I do to the tree!)
R/T .829 (wow broke 1.0 by accident!)
60' 2.239
1/8 9.150 @ 79.685
1/4 14.130 @ 97.08
Didn't want to race brackets as bad as my R/T performance was so I quit there (till next week) but I actually did better than I was thinking I would. So thanks guys, looking for a Superchip (R9) and a filter now and I'm sure that's just the start after the wife divorces me and the dog runs away I can buy what I want right? (should've bought a Miata huh)
LOVE THIS TRUCK!
