Default Final track visit of the season and new personal best
Went to the track tonight for what is probably gonna be the last visit of the season and did pretty good. Weather was near perfect, around 100 DA. Got a personal best of 14.8@95, not bad for a bone stock crew cab with dumped exhaust, front bumper replacement, and full tank of fuel right off the highway. However it got worse as time went on, kept spinning and having wheel hop so times suffered. Probably could've done better if I dropped the rear tire psi below 40 but didn't feel like dealing with all that. Also found out how to get better reaction, had to leave on 2nd yellow instead of third. And got to round 3 of the shootout and lost by 1 tenth of a second , would've been in the money round if it wasn't for that. But here's the slips(truck #208)

Well I lied when I said that was the last track visit. Decided to go back for a mopar shootout night on the 21st but only made 2 runs cause I noticed my back tires so no shootout at all for me. Weather was even better(-400- -600 DA) but truck ran slower(both times and traps) on the 2 passes for some reason even though it had less fuel(barely 1/2 tank vs full). #208, left lane both passes. Right lane was a avenger 2.7 v6 that won the shootout(ran consistent 16.25-16.28)

First pass


Second pass


Reason I stopped running after 2(driver side is almost as bad)


Which is why I picked up these 17" wheels and tires off a durango for $75 today. Tires have a little tread but I'll throw on some decent 265/70/17 after I burn through the 245/70/17 on there now


So now I just have to decide what I wanna daily drive on
