I went to the track with some friends

[Danny_SS]

HI guys, I finally took my truck (94 S-10 SS) to the track since I went last time in march. Since then I added a Zexel posi, LS1 Efans and I got my hands on some 275/50/15 M/T street radials. Just for the hell of it I removed my tailgate and spare.
My runs were :
15.356@88.77mph
2.108 60' time, here I just floored it on the last yellow

15.495@88.12mph
2.157 60', Powerbraked at 1200rpm then floored it

15.5@87.48mph
2.074 60' time, Power braked at 1500rpm then floored it

I was expecting the run where I powerbraked it till 1500rpm to be the best run but it was actually the worst.
Here is the slip for my best run. I ran against my friend with a 05 RX8 6speed. He got his tires wet while going around the water and did a vert short burnout so he left on cold damp tires. as a result of this I whooped him nasty especially off the line.

I also went with a couple of my friends. The cars that went along with me were:
05 Mazda RX8 6 speed 15.6@91mph
03 Infinity G35 auto 14.5
03 Lexus IS300 stick 15.8@87.5mph
2000ish Toyota Celica stick 16.9
07 VW GTI DSG tranny, chip 14.6
03 Mustang GT 5speed 14.4 running 1,2,3,5 since his 4th gear was bad
Lexus SC300 2J turbo 13.0

We had tons of fun eventhough we just got 3 runs all night. THere was a Mustang car club vs Vette and yes the Vettes held Chevy's name up high. There wera also 2 really nice S-10 V8's.
I'll post more pictures later and a couple of videos.

We were also able to see the launching of the Discovery Space Shuttle while at the track. It was really neat.
Well guys tell me what you think, what should I do .....etc.

Very respectable times Danny, keep up the good work.

...2.074 60' time, Power braked at 1500rpm then floored it

I was expecting the run where I powerbraked it till 1500rpm to be the best run but it was actually the worst...

But it was your best 60' time :D.

[Danny_SS]

Yeah, but I was expecting it to be the best 60' time AND best 1/4 mile time since whatever you gain in the 60' times tends to be doubled in overall et. Since I ran a 15.3 on a 2.1 60' time, I was expecting to run about a 15.1-15.2 on a 2.0 60' time. Either way I am happy. Man those M/T tires HOOK! It makes me want to spray.

[Rob]

...Man those M/T tires HOOK!...

Yes they are. My dad and brother are running them on their cars and I'm going to once the blower is done.

That is fantastic! That should be the first thing people see when they want to make a new thread.

Man! I really like your truck!

[steve]

Danny that is a nice truck. Hey, what drop do you have on that truck? It has a nice rake to it.

[Danny_SS]

Thanks guys.

I have 2" Belltech coils and 2" spindles also by Belltech up front. On the rear I have Belltech's 3" drop leaves which ended up dropping a bit more that 3" It was more like 3.5". It allways has a rake but it tends to have more of a rake since the rear goes up about 1" when I have the traction bars on.

Here is a video of my best run.

At least you have a local drag strip. CT does not have any drag strips. :(

Any ways, that was a nice launch Danny.
