    Mini road course

    I figured I'd put this under street instead of strip.... At Heat Wave This weekend they have a short "road course" setup. It's pretty short with a few twists and 3 180 degree turns. I ran it with a time of 24.1 there were only 4 vehicles faster than me. A Hennessey Vette that ran a 20.7 (I think) a viper with a 22.6, an SRT8 charger that ran a 23.8 and what appeared to be a fully built 00-03 rcsb with a 22.5. I feel like I accomplished something more as a driver than with the truck, cause I out ran a SSS (26.3), a TBSS (25 flat) and a ccsb newer dodge that ran.... A 30. and a few other vehicles with similar times. Nobody could believe I did the course that fast in my 4.3 just felt like sharing my fun

    i saw ya out there, if you had something that handled alittle better you might have knocked a second or two off your time. i started too try it, but then backed out after the 01 went out there.

    Once my ghetto tires got hot, there was no point really. I just did it for fun. maybe next year I'll have more done to the truck in terms of handling. that 01 was freaking sick. I didnt even want to run again after he went out there.

    I've really been wanting to run my truck on a road coarse. How was it in a truck? Glad to see somebody running such good times in a truck.

    It was good till about the 5th or 6th lap when my foot got heavy and the rear end kept runnin away from me. at that point i was just sliding around for fun lol

    Im not a big road course fan personally, but I think it would be fun to try once. Even it if turned out to be just a smoke show and drifting fest.....hey that could be fun too.
