Took the Reg Cab to the track...

[coker6365]

Had to go to the track for their last test and tune of the season in Midland, TX.

Stock motor, Josh's tuning and built trans with fleece lockup box, spring clamps, tailgate and spare tire removed. Still has the gooseneck hitch etc. in it. Haven't pulled it on the scale yet, will try to do it this weekend.

Track prep was terrible and I was running 8 year old 245's on stock PYO's. Best pass was 1.82 60' at 8.04 in the 1/8th. They are always bad about creating a flood in the staging area with no way around the water. Makes for some violent 2nd gear lockups.

The plus side, I taught my wife how to run down the track. She was very consistent on the tree. I had her leaving at 1500 rpms and she clicked off an 8.30 1/8th. Not bad for the first time. Her consistency will be brutal if I can get her comfortable with staging. The announcer was having a play day with the farm tags and the wife driving!!!

Very cool, I wish I could get the wife to run mine. That'd probably be more fun for me than me running it!

What's truck mods? I can't see sig on this app

She had a blast. The announcer was definitely giving her a hard time.

Mods are JoshH tuning, JoshH built trans, fleece lockup box, spring clamps, air dog 165, and DHD steering brace. I haven't thrown the twins on yet, still need to address the headgasket first.

Ha, I tried to get him to bring a bottle to Ennis so we could spray it straight into the airbox... He chickened out!

Awesome job for first time out!!!:thumb:

Put it on the scales yesterday. Weighed in at 6240lbs without a driver and about 1/4 tank of fuel. Need to shed about 480lbs to make it 6000lbs with a driver. Should be as simple as pulling the bumpers, tailgate, gooseneck hitch, and maybe a few odds and ends.

She got some new shoes today! :woott:

The tracks will open up again in the spring, I am sure we will be there again.

I have heard the 1/8th mile in Midland will not be reopening unless it is under new management. Penwell has a 1/4 mile track but it is only open periodically.

The truck looks good with the new wheels and tires. Now you just need to get rid of those UGLY tow mirrors.
