Morning all.

Here's a picture of my AWESOME!!! quarter mile run.

Lots of tire spin on this one to a 2.6 60' (sorry, 60' times don't show on this graph...) and about 250 lbs of dead weight in the trunk.

I think I just need practice. The MPH is where it should be but I should be at the low 16's with that trap speed, shouldn't I?

I think I need a better launch and to take these dumb tires out of my trunk (four full sized tires AND a spare back there right now).

X I am seeing them get around 16.5 and 17.3 in the 1/4..I think you are right on par with your training..16.5 are trapping around 83 mph..yeah if you take out that dead weight you will get a tad quicker

I still get the feeling I'll be trounced in the 1/4 mile - seeing how even if I run a 16.5 @ 83 mph, the mags got the 2001 explorer through in 16.2 @ 82.

But I think I may have a good chance of coming out on top in the autocross. We'll just have to see come april.

That's if I roll the Truck in the autocross.. <_<

Remember, this was before traction control became law on SUVs. Also can't post the #s for Christine because she's back in Toledo still. Friggin wheel bearings..

Anyone got a spare $850 lying around?
