Well, I finally made it out to the track, Coast Plains Dragway in
Jacksonville, NC. This is the first time I've ever even been to a
track, much less drove on one. <grin> Gene Byrd came up from Myrtle
Beach, SC, and we both met Mike Hoover from Jacksonville.

I wound up doing five runs. The last run was my best. I let the
truck cool off, avoided the water, did a huge burnout to really warm
up the tires, and finally got a good hook up. The previous four runs
I had a lot of tire spin. The Caltracs did their job, I had no
problem with wheel hop at all. In addition to the Caltracs, I'm
running a 180 stat, QuickD TB and intake, and Mopar Performance
computer. Here are the results of my best run:

Reaction .737
60 ft. 2.108
330 ft. 6.128
1/8 ET 9.501
1/8 mph 72.57
1/4 ET 14.896
1/4 mph 91.11
