Gotta love AWD!

Im sure that most of you guys remember my post back in august about a reg cab HEMI that beat me. Well just so happens I got him to show up at the track, I pulled off a better time and this is what he wrote.

"ok, so i went out there bout 7:30 and let the engine cool down for 20 min since i had a 30 min drive to get there.
I get in the staging lanes and wait to run my first run. Then a BLACK chevy ss pulls up and asks if I wanted to run him, I of course say yes and we line up and run. I took him easily. I didn't have a good run either. ran a 14.58 cuz of very poor traction and he ran a low 15. He was stock as I found out later on.
Ran into Daniel, the ss from this thread and he was getting ready to stage while I was already in the staging lanes again. I told him we would line up together on the next run, he said ok.
At this time it is 8:20 and I had to leave at 9 b-cuz i had plans with my girlfriend and i promised her that i would be back in time.
anyways, so i'm in the staging lanes and there was some kind of mechanical issues with one of the cars and spilled a bunch of liquids on the track. track crew had to come out and fix the track, took them 20 mins to do this so now, its 8:40 and the staging lanes were forever long cuz it was tuner shoot out night, and of course a lot of rice was out there. so i ran and got a sorry ass time of a low 15. this was b-cuz i feathered it out the line to try not to spin the wheels. so i figured that i couldn't stage again and get a race in before i had to leave so i call daniel and tell him that i wouldn't be able to run again, guess he understood and asked what my best run was and i told him out of a total of 2 runs, my best time was a 14.58 with bad traction (my 60 ft was like a high 2.3). he told me that he wasn't running what he was expecting either and that he was getting his tune readjusted. i told him to text me his best time of the night.
so long story short, couldn&#39;t race daniel cuz of time restraints, i got 2 runs in and the best time i got was 14.58 with bad traction, ss kid text me and let me know that his best time was 14.41. so IF we had lined up and ran it would have depended on if i got traction or not, but more than likely he would have taken me. <--hate to admit that BUT you just can&#39;t win&#39;em all&#33;"

Gotta love it when I Hemi owner admits getting beat&#33;&#33;&#33; I registered on that site to try and find the 2 hemis in town and set up another race because I am no longer stock. You will prob enjoy the thread. Its very interesting. Heres the link.

quoting somed guy.......What do you mean You already knew, simply put all Michael needs is a set of slicks and he is easily a 13 second truck and needs to quit going to the track with those heavy ass 22&#39;s, something that he failed to mention. It&#39;s pointless to go to the track if you know darn well you have no traction on your street tires, like me. Our trucks are putting down too much power for the tires to handle off the line and you&#39;ve got to remember that SS is AWD, Michael just needs to run him from a rolling start on a safe street somewhere or wait until I get some slicks that we can share



yeah well there are alot of trucks on here with a set of slicks that could be a 13second truck... really no traction on street tires, well i wonder why they are called STREET TIRES... and i when he says to much power for the tires to handle off the line.... really?? i think i know plenty of trucks that i have taken ON street tires on or off track, that couldnt even get the tires to chirp. and i know this sounds just like one of their posts from a chevy view, but seriously cmon now... i have seen and been in one and i was seriously not impressed...


OH and somewhere along in that thread it says, why does chevy have to come out with special editions like the SS to compete with our trucks.... last time i checked i wasnt a special edition truck and i can hang with some of the better dodges on the streets of my town....

Very nice rant&#33;&#33; The guy that you quoted is also from Waco. He is an SRT look alike. He beat me about 3 weeks ago when I was still stock, but barely. He said is truck is wrecked right now, but when it gets out of the shop he will race me. He said he is going to use the bottle though . Guess he afraid to run me on all motor.

[TxStVanWilder]

i dont think my trans will hold up with some slicks.... but ill try and make it down for damn sure

and someone said on there... dont cry about losing to someone with a bottle, its run what you bring.... ok im almost POSITIVE if someone ran him and they had a shot and his bottle was empty, he would use that as an excuse... seriously cmon... they know they are inferior and much heavier and the only way they can get moving is with a bottle

The way I see it, we should run motor to motor first. If I beat him, then he cna use the bottle. But he is already complaining about not hooking up on street tires, so how the hell is the bottle going to help that any? It&#39;ll make it worse.

MAN THEY WERE DOGGIN YOU ON THERE. I JOINED AND TOLD THEM I WOULD RACE THEM? I &#39;LL SEE IF WE HAVE ANY TAKERS.
