    Going to Baytown tonight

    Going to take the truck to baytown to see what it will do.. It is slow, so I am not expecting any kind of great times. Its for fun and to see what it will do now so I can compare times againts mods. I am going to let my step son drive too!! Hope he dont wreck!!!

    Best times..
    R/T .243
    60 2.285
    1/8 9.683
    1/4 14.927
    @ 89.20

    Problems:

    Spinning 2nd gear every run
    Will not shift into third, running off limiter
    Street tires!

    Overall, good because I know my problem areas.. I let my step son run one run and he got a 15.2 with me in the truck and his first time on a track let alone going faster than 50mph.. I am proud of him!!

    Must pull a little on the top to get a 14.9 out of a 9.6 8th mile run. My pig doesn't even shift to 3rd until the lights.

    Off the line feels slow, and I dont burn the tires off at all, then pulls pretty good on the top end for sure.. For the last bit of the run, the truck just runs out of pull and doesnt shift.. I need to see why, so I can get a better time for what I have. Going to be trying to buy some drag radials for it real soon.
