Anyone been involved in any racing or taken their truck to the drag strip? It's something I have not done (with car or truck) but would imagine that it would be a lot of fun!

Why not try the 1/4 mile? too hard on the truck?

it does look like a bunch of fun. I have been out to the local race track and have seen people drag their trucks. I have seen a few diesel have some good runs for a truck

I've gotten a 13.88s 1/4 m. consistantly since my last mod.
Superman's 6.3s 0-60 is rare though (by the way, I like the whitewalls).
