I certainly hope so, it's an 1/8 mile track...

Not sure, I haven't been in a year and a half...All I know is that I'm not eating at that place we went after Fontana

I know your joking , but try to get the left lane out there . Sometimes the newbs with turn out right in front of you at first turn out . I always go full length instead of trying to make first turn in 4wd . Almost killed a few guys that turn in front of me . I scared the chit out of them locking the kodiak up . Scared me too , I dont want to hurt anybody . From there on they always give me left lane .
Gate open at 4 , tech moves pretty quick . 20$ to race 10$ to watch . Racing starts at 5 . You will get a decent amount of runs in until about 7 . Then it starts to get pretty stacked up in staging . It is pretty random and the crowd , but still usually start taking a while to get runs in after 7 . Then there are all the damn ricers scattering trans out there and holding up the track with cleaning .
Left lane is better anyways also for traction , all the fast cars take left lane .
I should be there , I have to go to San Diego at 1pm . I hope traffic isnt to bad . towing the black truck out , might race kodiak might not .
Fixed a few of my issues and am doing FPR right now on truck . I hope it is secondary one and I dont have to dig down to primary pump .
See you all out there .

Talked to Chris, he set a new best of 1.74 60' and 8.29 1/8 ET great job buddy. His truck weights 7600IIRC oh and tonight he had a 100lb passenger.
Oh and that was with "de-tuning it and letting off" since he had a passenger:rofl:
I towed out at about 30K unhooked and went racing . No 4wd , No boosted launch and a passenger . Great burn out box toasting of the tires . Left light boost and ran 10.20 , ran it twice then hooked back up and towed home . Alot of interested people in the black truck . Was worth going for some good fun .
Beat Dan Grant's truck with the kodiak .
If you consider him red lighting a win . I did . :rofl:

Chris, when you gonna run the 1/4? I would like to see how your tune does in the 1/4 in your truck. With not much of a lift and sensible sized tires I'm guessing 12's. Mine with the same weight had similar 60's but I just couldn't carry it on the top end.

1.748 60', 8.29 @ 81.65...Went to CAT scales on the way home, 7525 lbs...It'll never set any records, but it ran pretty good tonight...
Damn, busted
Gonna try to run Fontana soon while it's still cool...Tonight I ran max timing and boost with a 3,000 pulse...285s with 33psi front, 30 rear, lowered t-bars, CalTracs...
Just a puff of smoke on the launch, then it cleaned right up...
Did I mention that it doesn't smoke?

Sounds like I missed a good night. I just could not get there. Congrats Chris on the time.
Missed you out there Chris , I didnt get in line for a bit and never saw you .
Had some fun though racing the tow rig . 10.23
Funny if you listen closely you hear the guy .... that is not a hybrid diesel .. :rofl:

Then Dan gave it up with a red . :rofl: i'll take that .
I spun off the line hitting it with more boost 2wd . 10.32 , with some damn big tires 42" . Got a little happy in the box also making these tires slick as hell . Was only running for chits and giggles . Had a buddy in the truck that had never been at the track . Took him for a run .
I swore I wouldnt race the truck on this big rubber , but you see how long that lasted .
I am known as the cause of global warning at the track also . :rofl:
