first time racing
so i went to the ttp track rental today for support since my t/a's brakes weren't ready yet. so i sat around and ate/watched racing/bothered people all day. so towards the end of the day matt breaks out the diesel ram pickup and runs it, so i challenge him in my dads excursion. i did 4 runs with it, the second being the best thanks to the advice of george benson.
heres how it broke down with a 2001 ford excursion, 6.8L triton v-10, weighing about 8500lbs with stuff in it (8000 stock) Second run R/T: .165 60': 2.615 330: 7.542 1/8: 11.645 MPH: 60.02 1/4: 18.086 MPH: 77.01 the others were like 18.3, and two 18.1's george coached me on when to leave off the light resulting in the somewhat good R/T (for a first timer). and yes, i had the truck doing some sick burnouts with street tires. it has 2 dana 60 axles with 4.10's (only had it in 2wd though), when i ran the first run i forgot the a/c was on, but for the other 3 it was off, along with the overdrive off |
glad to see that you got a chance to drive something today :lol: good luck with the brake issue. and your dads cool as hell. and was that your mom that was there sitting by your dad? cause she was cool too.

yea that was them, dude you have a sickkk car. i loved it, so did the rest of my family. and as for the brakes, new rear drum hardware, brand new prop. valve, earls stainless steel hoses and a nice pressure bleed should do it, if it doesnt, then i have a vacuum problem
|
thx, hopefully your t/a can make the rental in november. that be cool.
i could tell your dad was up late working on your car. i caught him napping:rofl: http://home.comcast.net/~baddest434/100_0654.JPG |
