Cool Track man tries strip. :)

Well, for the first real time ever, I decided to run my beastie on the strip during imports vs domestic.... (normally I stick to solo2/track)

I'm not exactly a truck setup for the strip... I can't deflate the Pirelli's (stiff sidewalls for road-course handling), I'm lowered 2/3, I have no traction bars atm, my shocks were set 5f/7r, I weigh in at ~5100lbs, and short of a air filter and logtubes+exhaust I have no engine mods or chip. (dyno 337ish/410ish)

Here's the best time of the day for me (I'm a 2000 truck):

R/T .701
60' 2.108
330 5.925
1/8 9.064
1000 11.761
1/4 14.055
MPH 98.23

My other runs were 14.2, 14,3, 14.4 and 14.2...60's stayed pretty even, I was losing it on the 1/8th when the heat went up, the 14.05 was my last run when it was cooler at dusk.

Unfortunately, I broke out in the first rounds of bracks...with my time-trials above, I picked a 14.1 then got the 14.055...

I went by Giants stadium saturday morning and they where auto-xing in the lot by rt. 3. Looked for your truck, but now I see you weren't there
From the photo's posted it looked like there wasn't to bad a crowd at E-town. Maybe I should have tried to make it after I finally figured what day Sept. 7 fell on
It wasn't a total washout for me though, I did score a very nice Expy center console!.............hmmmmmm wonder what do do with it

How about that Jeep Cherokee that ran 12.3x with that loud supercharger.

Everybody loved your exhaust last night as you pulled out of the restaurant.
