I don't have time to read all the BS.... But if you think Byron is a shit track you are crazy!! I have drag raced all over the country, and I will put Byron in the top three tracks I've been too. Look at your trap speed. No matter what traction you get your trap speed will always be about the same. My race truck usually pulls 1.3 and goes 165mph. Even if I pull a 1.5 it will still go 165mph
I've been going to the Byron fall race for 5 years now and it's usually cold. Track temp on this last race was 40deg. There is only a couple other tracks you are going to get any traction on at 40deg but Byron seems to do enough track prep to make it work.
I did not bring my race truck this year because it burned up last year at this event, but I did bring my 2015 daily that has HSP piping, Y bridge and PPEI tuning. All I went for was to get some data. The truck went 13.9 @ 97 mph with a 1.8 60ft. So I guess it's the tracks fault the truck is so slow. LOL. On one of the runs I pulled a 2.1 sixty but the truck still did 96mph

If you want to see impressive stock truck numbers go look at othergirls threads. Dustin is quite a bit faster than a 13.1. My totaly stock LMM ran a 13.1 @ 103 9 years ago on PPE tune so yea that's not impressive...
I went 12.0 on a 4094 with stock fuel and injectors...I've always used Rob's tuning on all my trucks
Yeah, I bring my boys with me to most of the races. They are my #1 fan but can also be the hardest on me. Lol. "Wow dad you got beat bad" or " why do you always break stuff".
Haha that is awesome man :thumb: they just tell it how it is even if it’s not what you wanna hear
This thread was hilarious! I went 12.40s back in 2009 on a built trans/max effort truck! Keep trying! :rofl::roflmao::spit:
I see Im not the only one who's kids are their harshest critics. I think thats their job though. :hehe:Mine used to be my "pit crew", too.
That right there should be the motto of this site.
Well, if everyone is done commenting on this, Im gonna shut her down. Happy racing everyone!
