I hope not! I would think in a straight line at least it's ok. I shift out before turning off on to return road. Rpms aren't super high, I'm running 3.31s.

Nice run!!! What rpm do you launch at? I could see the truck lurching forward in the video so I know that you had one foot on the brake and the other trying to hold rmps.
Also, did you somehow heat cycle the tires prior to the run (i.e. do a burn out)?
Was the track prep'd very well?

Nice run.
And to the person asking about running the whole distance in 4x4. There's a lot of stock trucks that run mud pits in 4x4. They don't let off unless they're just spinning. I won't say you should run everywhere in 4x4, but short hits like a drag strip shouldn't hurt it too much. Even in 2WD there's some wear inside the transfer case, locking it in won't cause much more wear if any.

2000 & above for launch, depends on the conditions.
No burnouts. Track is usually pretty good, not always as good as when they're running the Summit events on the weekends.
