Beech Bend Raceway 1/4 mile

[hwmech]

So here are som pics from the small event we threw together right after a challenger fest event.

Yes we had a Go Pro and another 1080p camera in the stands currently putting the video together.....

Here are my very first time slips for my truck, my best run was the 13.8 with a launch from idle..... I am #109

Nice man, a 13.8 with a 60' time that bad is really good. Get some tires on it and you'll be mid to low 13's all day long:rock:

 

[hwmech]

Yeah it was good run against a new SHO Taurus, that thing was sick he was running 12.8 stock auto

 

[hwmech]

Here is one of the runs against another stock 05 RC 6 speed same as mine. :rock:

Dont know how I caught up to him unless it was the royal purple and ethanol free gas

Both stock 05's? Almost looks like he shifted at different points than you did, looks like his last shift slowed him down just enough for you to catch him a picture of the time slip would be cool to see

 

[hwmech]

At the top 109 vs 110

Zach-

You guys get any valuable footage from what I recorded? I'm sure it wasn't as good as the go pro tho..

 

[VENOMOUS1 RACING]

Nice runs!! Did you not put your pulley on for those runs? :burnout:

 

[hwmech]

Nope it showed up after I left

Great! It'll be interesting to see that mod alone and it's affect at the track
Not too many that are bone stock I can get feedback from

Comparing the time slips that looks more like 109 vs 138, makes you wonder where your 4 extra mph come from on two stock trucks.

...exactly, I hear rubber in every gear. The other one nose dives every shift...

I'm not bone stock but pretty close. Previous best of 13.09, went 12.87 yesterday, there were a couple other factors in there but overall happy about the purchase!

Best mod ever!!

ooops you are correct sir got them mixed up it was 138 vs 109

I need to start writing down what car went with what number.

and Yes I agree I should have been wearing my helmet cause even if im not going fast enough to meet the rules for a helmet i will want to be there one day then i will have a fast truck im not use to driving with a helmet, plus if I did wreck (GOD forbid) I dont wanna screw up my money maker!:chain:

What are you launching at? and what tires are you running? im thinking my launches are the only thing holding me back

I was launching between 1500 - 2000 rpm. The tires are bridgestone dueller hl. The previous owner put them on and I have no complaints with them. I had a 2.04 60' on the 12.87 but had a best 60' of 1.95. Each .1 you shave off your 60 ft typically equals .2 on the big end. If you can get that launch figured out you will be running low 13s all day.

One last thing, did you drop the rear tire pressure?

Thats what I figured, I am running the Kuhmo tires and im not sure how I like them yet we will see what I can get with them but then I think i will switch to some bridgestones, but Im thinking this traction bar system im putting on will send any tire i put on there into the ground :rock:
