Handycap drag racing at Scheids....

Well, the optimum bracket truck would be a 4x4 2500 auto short on power. I went bracket racing at Scheids with my back up truck. A 93 2x4 ext cab long bed NV4500 dually with no tach. Can you get a harder truck to bracket race??? I was launching off of the sound of the engine and shifting off of feel. You cant run consistant like that, but I did my best.
run.....rt....60.....1/8th
1.....161...2.56...11.5609@61.73
2.....513...2.69...11.6318@62.17 *1
3.....015...2.68...11.5803@61.88
4.....188...2.74...11.6348@62.24 dial 11.56
5.....145...2.55...11.3810@62.13 dial 11.56 *2
6.....191...2.64...11.3809@62.06 dial 11.56 *3 lost

*1-the other guy backed out of the lights and I was looking at him when the tree started down so I had a bad rt
*2-The other driver was having big problems, and guessed a dial and they ran way fast and I was trying to catch them, and didnt come close as they borke out by alot.
*3-The other guy's truck was loud enough that I couldnt hear my truck and launched too late and too high of rpms. I tried to catch him, but broke out. In hindsite I should have changed my dial in based off of run 5.

I was in the last 6 trucks and the last stick shift in it. And the only guy w/o a gauge to use to lauch off of. I think I'm gonna park the 96 and put a tach in the 93 and run it for now on. The 96 has some bearing problems in the transfer case right now.

Congrats on the round wins. Lavon redlighted the first run and ran his dial-in. So we laughed. Your '93 chirped every launch. I didn't even realize it was a manual.

Thanks Brandon. This is the 2nd time I've been to the track with the dually. the first time it ran a consistant 20.5±.1 with no 3rd synchro and not wanting to go into 4th in the getrag.
