WHOA, I thought those were quarter mile times for a second, Guido, I almost laid a golden crankshaft, haha. Impressive none the less though. Glad to see you whipped that Ford, I got beat by everything I ran against. The last one I raced was an older F-150 Lightning and he only got me by like .3. You made the wingnuts proud, my man!

Todd, to be honest I was pissed, but everyone else there was impressed.... not me tho... I wanted 9.5's, but I deffinately felt a loss in pull in the 2nd half of the track.... then when she shifted outa second it was weak... Have to find a way to manually shift it.... dont know if the comptr will let me do that... any ideas, regarding that??
otherwise the truck impressed people, LOL.... especially the ford kid....and titan dude....

Thanks, GUIDO

I'm pretty sure the computer will let you manually shift it. I read here somewhere that one guy was doing it and had better times.

It's gotta be more of a traction issue with your truck and those low gears though. How warm was it at the track last night?

Folks. Here's a link to a database for our runs. I think the intent is to use it to display our BEST runs, and entries can be modified I'm guessing.

This thread will remain open unless someone else closes it. We'll use this one to discuss our trucks on track issues.

PLease note that the area will be monitored for BS so save your slips if you have them for back-up.

I haven't messed with it yet, but I think all you do is get in there and fill in the blanks. I think.

Turns out that you don't need to provide that info. I didn't use it on either of my entries.
