What track are you going to? My girlfriends mother lives right around the corner (1/2 mile away) from the Cecil County Dragway, and i still havent been up there to run my truck yet.

I have no clue on what to expect but I think it would be very fun to do some time. I would like to take all my mods off run it, then put them all back on and see the difference they make. :)

Diabloic yes I love Cecil County Dragway, that would be so cool to race you. I will race you just for fun if you want. I have taken my focus. With my stock 2.0L zetec focus I ran a 16.8. I have not taken my truck yet. I think it was like $8 or $12 or something for all night. I think they open in march. Last year when I went I had a blast.

That IS the track you were talking about right? If so, we could meet up there one night.

I've never even been there to see a race.

Best time i have ever gotten, was a 15.6 when i was stock with my 3.55's , i have never gotten traction again. I have 4.10's now, and cant hook up.

I have managed high 9's in the 1/8th though.. fastest is a 9.8.. With an ok launch.. My traction sucks donkey *****.

My friends Gtech thing got me at 15.3 but with a 3 sec 60 foot.. So i have no clue.. I cant get traction...

Diabolic Yes that was it Cecil County Dragway. Yeah that would be cool. I don't think they open until march. But yeah we can do that. Maybe we shall put out a post when the time comes and have a meet, there maybe a bunch of people would like to come. I have never seen a real race there but I have been there a couple times for their street car nights.
