Took the truck to the drag strip(1/8th) VID
Took the ram to the strip, it was friday night lights out. An event where they turn off the times and the tree and do a hand drop. I had fun! First race was indeed a cummins ram. 
Im definatly going to take her down the strip more. So expect some more vids in the future.

Im sure you had fun and its much better to race on a dragstrip instead of the street but,,,,
Why not go on a test & tune day instead?
That way your still racing heads up against the other vehicle but you get to see exactly how good your reaction time was as well as the 60', 330' & 660' times. You have no way of knowing what worked & what hurt your ets without the timing system.
Loading the tc to certain rpms will cause different results, rolling the throttle or just nailing it as well, manually shifting (even if auto) will give different results as well depending on your shift rpms.
Next time go to a T&T and see what she runs

That's what I did. Not all that impressive, but it serves as a base line.
