Yesterday my friend was looking to get a few good passes under his belt before the end of the season in his 2009 Dodge Ram R/T. He wasn't really feeling up to driving, so I gladly obliged. I did about 8 passes and they were all solid. The fastest time of the day was a 13.77.
Videos are on the way, one of it racing a supercharged mustang and winning. The other is just a lone pass of the 13.77. I was way impressed. With the time corrected for the conditions it's actually a 13.76 but who cares..
Here is the timeslip for now until the video gets posted...
nor did I.. the fastest he ran was a 14.4 at bristol tn with the humidity at nearly 98%. Yesterday, the conditions were perfect in Michigan and it ran great at Lapeer Dragway
I wonder if this was ran on that super track (Ataco sp?) where everyone picks up .5 - 1 sec....
or another one of those fast tx tracks.....
Nope, it was actually at a track that is know for being a bit slow if anything. Lapeer Dragway in Michigan.
That time in Bristol was on 87, with luggage, in the worst weather for racing possible, with the truck being about 2 weeks old. The corrected time was still a 14.0.
Yesterdays runs were on (mostly) 93 octane and in perfect weather.
That's flying for such a heavy truck. I took my 2002 Ram 1500 to the track a couple years ago for shits & gigs. Best I could do was a high 15 @ about 87 mph.
