Tues nites are t and t nite at the track in byram. Its just less than an 1/8, but a good track and usually prepped well. Havent ran since May when it was still in the 80s at nite. Ran an 8.15 then, hoping the lower temps will help. A couple members on here had asked me to post when i was returning. So if u live in the area come on out. I dont care what motor or yr. Tired of being the only ford truck at the track. Ill be in a white screw 4x4 offroad.

Kent, I'm still out of town but will be back after this week. If I have a Tuesday off I'd love to come. I'll hit you back when I know I can make it.

Sounds good. Im goin to try a few different launch methods. Best 60 ft i managed was a 2.29 and that wasnt my fastest pass. Did a 2.32 when i ran 8.15. That 60ft is slow compared to the ecos. Traction isnt an issue even in 2wd. 4wd just hurt my mph.

That's odd, I was pulling 2.0s in 2wd and high 1.8s in 4hi. And I only lose a half mile an hour in the 1/4 from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive.

kent johnson

Which part was odd? Your 60 ft is way better because of all the low end torque u make, and for that same reason u need 4wd to take full advantage of it. Running in 4wd slowed me just slightly, but it slo ed me, and i dont need it to launch.

Kent, what was the 1/8th mile et? I doubt it was an 8.15, as that equates to roughly an 12.70 in the 1/4.

kent johnson

Never ran in the 1/4, and this track is shorter than an 1/8. The guys that race alot said that adding 1 sect to this track time will give u your 1/8 time, so 9.15. That would be more like 14.30s or 40s.

Didnt get to race last nite, canceled because the temps were too cold.

The track is 500ft but I'll be down to go if they open up next week... I've got a 4x4 eco screw tuned w/superchips.

Word has it that tonight 11-10 Lena is having a truck shootout. I'm trying to get them on the phone to confirm...
