Looks like technically, a loop is required for cars with street cars going faster than 11.49 is required, as you said

https://www.dragzine.com/news/new-pr...om-trans-dapt/

ACM has two different times listed on their facebook page for 3/22...5 pm and 6 pm. I will probably get there around 6 or a little bit before. Racing doesn't start till 7, so there's no need to hang around from 5 to 7 without doing anything. The only thing is traffic from my house going toward the track at 5 to 5:30 is going to be bad.

I normally park along the fence near the control tower instead of out in the normal pit area

Boss man let me off tomorrow, so this is officially a go for me. However the damn SFI approved jacket I ordered off Amazon with 1 day shipping got delayed and is not going to be here till tomorrow, but its likely to arrive before I need to leave to make it to the track (or so I hope). I also got a revision from my tuner today reference an issue I experienced last night during a test run where I slammed into the rev limiter at full force at the top of 1st gear in Sport mode and again in 3rd gear in regular mode. I wasn't data logging when it happened dammit, but Matt at ID made a revision anyways. I'm hoping this resolves the issue, as I don't want to pop my oil pump gears an hour from my house at the track. My personal goal for the truck was an 11.5....but something tells me I'm gonna do a little better than that tomorrow

See y'all there! I'm gonna try and roll in around 6pm, coming from Austin so its not a terrible drive.

Based of you're latest Dragy runs I smell low 11's all day.

I will be shooting for high 11's myself. We'll see! (keep in mind i'm on some heavy *** 35's lol)

Well.. Weather should be nice tonight.

I'm planning to be there. I've got a little over 2 hour trip so should get there around 7-8.
Should stick around close to closing time @ 11.

See you there!

I got the track tires and wheels mounted up. I hadn't driven the truck with the new back tires on it yet. I'm pretty sure it will have no trouble hooking up at the track. I flashed it from a dead stop and there was only the slightest spin...on the street near my house with no burn out to heat the tires up. A little burn out and a sticky track I'm pretty sure it will dead hook.

I'm probably going to have to experiment with launch techniques...it seems just matting it from idle causes a very slight hesitation. I may stall it up to about 1k or so.

I'm jealous, wish I lived that way and could meet up. Make sure everyone posts time slips/vids! Be safe! If anyone is in/around STL Gateway International opens next Friday. I'll be there.
