First time to the strip

Last night myself and a few friends went out to Lebanon Valley Dragway for their Wednesday night open track. I made 5 passes and was pretty impressed by my 1/4 mile ET's. I was consistantly running 15.7xx and my last pass was 15.604.
The air was getting cooler, about 50, so I think thats where the speed came from?
Trap speeds were 83mph or so

I will post some pictures and timeslips when I get home.

I thought that was a respectable time for a 7800lbs truck with minimal mods.

It was a great time, and I'm addicted now!

My minimal mods are in my sig, but basicly chip, intake, exhaust.

In the future, in some what of an order, Built trans, big sticks, big hairdryer, enough to run 13's when funding permits. Sponsors? LOL
