A daily driven reg cab weighs about 6300 - 6400 lbs with a quarter tank of fuel, e-rated tires, the works, but sans spare tire. Ask me how I know. The ONLY thing that I have taken off my truck is the spare tire and it weighs 6380 with me in it, I'm 190.
IMO, a daily driver belonging on this list is a truck is fully stock except for lift pump, intake, an egr delete, exhaust and transmission. Throw a good tune in it and go. Also, it should be stock interior. It shouldn't be trailered, but should be able be a towing vehicle. It should not have fancy shocks on it, are going to tow a 16,000 trailer with QA1 shocks? Traction bars are okay.
I'm not saying this because I'm trying to get on the list and am not on it. I'm saying this because that's the fun of getting onto it. Nothing against cwmeaux, however, just like many here, I've been around drag racing a while. A tenth off of an already stretched out stocker .... eh, okay. However, at my weight and set up, I'm working on 100ths at a time, not tenths. This is the difference between a stock race truck that gets driven frequently and a stock truck DD that races when its able to get to the track.
There's one more race this season at Byron, I'd like to get on the list, but I'm not going to spend hours unbolting stuff to make the truck lighter just to get on the list knowing that I'll have to bolt it back on.
The truck runs a 12.9x @ 103 in full street trim, even the tailgate, without even lowering the tbars. Stock height truck, on ATs. 12lb launch and spring clamps. I think it's pretty fair being not in the competition tune.
Just sayin'.
