Me, stockish truck, sachs, and 1/4 mile of asphalt

I was up at US 41 dragstrip test and tune last night. It was a little cold low 50's to low 40's when I left.
My best run...
60_________1.950
330________6.069
594________8.894
1/8________9.532 @ 70.53
1000_______12.587
1/4________15.182 @ 86.71

Not bad for my stockish truck. This was my first outing on the new clutch. I was launching in 4x4 in 2nd. I was having major traction problems in 2nd and a little in 3rd gear.

Now I just need it to be warmer so i might hit 14.999. Between mid 50's and mid 40's I lost 0.3 seconds.

I did whoop up on a 5.0, firebird, 2002 Z71 1500 4x4 auto, and a honda prelude. As well as getting to the end 3 seconds before a ext cab s10 on 20" rims and slammed several inches.

Yea I had fun. I only made 24 passes, and still left 2 hours before close
