Drag Racing my Rig

Went out with some friends to the ricekiller drag meet in Denton last night.  It was my first time drag racing at a track.  It was a pretty fun night.  Track was an 1/8th mile but it was free so all was good.  I made total  of 5 passes for the night raced my friends cobalt ss twice and lost, mazda speed 3  and lost, scion tc and won, and nissan maxima and won.  Wanted to  line up a truck but could not manage that. My best run of the night was a 10.96 at 64 mph with a .265 reaction time.  Most other runs  were around the 11-11.3 second range.  Id have to say thats better than I thought it would do, and pretty decent for a V6 powered 6in lifted suv on 33's/stock gearing and just an intake.  Saw most nnbs 1500's running 10.3's with rims and rubber bands (mexicans)  There was  a dodge 1500 running mid 7's and a few diesels running mid 9's.  Lots of mustangs, two new gen procharged  camaros that were  :buttsecks:  Its a run what you brung kinda thing and I dont really care what others thought, I got a few compliments from people actually. My friends cobalt ss was having issues, combo of bald tires, bad track prep, and worn motor mounts which led to a broken shifter cable on the last run.  He was skating down the whole track and  as a result best run was an 8.96 at 86mph.  Waiting for some good pics to be posted on Ricekiller!

Ah ricekiller....I had to stop going to their monday night meets about a year ago...

Why is that?

Ironically, too much rice for me. The organization usually ****ed, it was getting more and more bikers, and the bikers were giant...things I cant say here. Got in an argument with one of them after he ran over my foot, since he was riding down the main pathway which was CROWDED with people, and he was being an idiot about it. I wound up kicking one of his fairings after that.
 
The show before that someone decided to do a 100ft burnout down the main pathway, almost taking out a line of cars. RKC didnt seem very interested in controlling the groups of people, so I decided to stop going.
 
Plus, you can only see so many mustangs before you never wanna see another one again.

I thought about taking my truck out there once for giggles. It'd be interesting to see what a 3.5 ton truck would run.

There were some fast diesels running like  in the mid  9's

Ya that wouldn't be me. Only way mine would go that fast is if it fell out of an airplane.

It would probably out run my pathfinder....lets run the at the next meet.  They have one every month there and its really close to your house, so no excuses!

You can tell my wife.
 
So you gonna come see my new rig tomorrow? I'll be doing some electrical work if you wanna come by.

I'm actually going to be over in flower mound helping Kayden with his axle swap this afternoon.  But im going to be working on putting that lift on my friends truck this week up at UNT so I will stop by sometime this week...pinky swear!

A friend of mine took his diesel (4-door 4x4 1ton Dodge) out there. He runs in the 7's in a 1/8 mile, 10's in the 1/4. They wouldn't let him run in 4hi so he couldn't get any traction. They don't prep the track good at all.

Thats awesome.... we talked about taking my truck out there just to see what it would do... F350 Crew cab long bed .. mostly stock...but, afraid of blowing something lol
 
might have to though, i'll talk to the boss....i mean...wife... :P
