Just got back from good ole Cecil County Dragway. This was my first visit to this track. I am very impressed with the track prep. Its the only track I didn't spin through 2nd gear on. I knew that is what I needed, alittle help in 2nd gear and it would all come together. I had a 1/4 tank of gas and the hitch and pass. seat in the truck. My first pass was not to bad but I had alittle more tire spin out of the gate.
1.799 60ft
5.137 330ft
7.919 1/8
87.94 MPH
10.352 1000
12.412 1/4
109.39 MPH
Now my second pass was for the money. I got my hook!
1.778 60ft
5.120 330ft
7.881 1/8
88.80 MPH
10.288 1000
12.330 1/4

SWEET I WAS SO HAPPY! I couldn't believe how deep into the 30's it went.

 

Congrats!Awesome times.Wish I was there.

 

Very nice!

 

nice runs congratts

 

Very nice times!! Im very impressed with your 60 foot times as well. Its hard to believe that a truck with street tires could pull a 1.7. Thats just awesome.

Check out that 1/8 mph! Some cars don't run that in the 1/4! What other weight savings did you do (spare, tailgate, swaybar, etc. etc.) Do you run a street program or race program? Sweet times!

 

I removed the front sway bar, the spare tire and the tailgate. I'm almost 100% sure the tailgate doesn't make a difference.
And I run a JL Race Program.

 

First I must say great Job .......... That is too cool !!!

If I may ask....... how is it you are staging to leave ........Power brake, dead idle, however ........ would you care to share ??? Because I cannot seem to get my L to leave better that a 1.95 for anything

Thanks, Marc

 

what racer asked.
how do you all get those great launches?

Thanx

 

The trick to great 60fts is a monster burnout and learn how your truck likes to leave.

 

DITTO, YOU GOTTA SPIN THE DOLLAR BILLS FROM UNDER YOUR TIRES TO LAUNCH LIKE OUTRAGEOUS AND I. CONGRATS OUTRAGEOUS I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA HAVE THAT ONE FOR AWHILE. WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT TILL SPRING TO SEE IF I CAN BREAK IT.

 

Thanks JOHNNYSVT, there may be more to come. I heard there is a race a Cecil County on the 15th of Dec. Is that true and if so are you going to be there?

 

I HAVE HEARD THAT ALSO. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY TRUTH TO IT. IF EITHER OF US FINDS OUT LETS LET EACH OTHER KNOW CAUSE I LOVE RACIN AT CECIL. THE ONLY THING IS THE TRIP DOWN $UCKS FOR ME.
