This is sad... I live less than 15 minute drive from a 1/4 mile track and I've never been on it.

Are you guys running with tailgates up or down? Does it create that much drag?

^Lucky!

1 hour and 30 min drive to the 1/8 mile track. 2 hours and 30 mins to Memphis and the 1/4 mile track.

A far as the tailgate, I ran with mine up, but I have a tonneau cover. Technically if you removed your tailgate you would be a smidgen faster due to less weight. Not by much, but every little bit helps!

Yep they were black. He was Hispanic. Was a pretty cool guy, said he would be heading over to Hennessy real soon to get it supercharged O:

How ever I felt like a bad ass when I walked him xD

Hmmm maybe it's a different one then who I'm thinking the guy I know is a 2012 rt but I'm surprised it ran so slow it's gone 14.4 before

R/T ram maybe if the guy can't drive. R/T challenger I highly doubt unless a really bad driver

5.7 in a heavy ass challenger hell yea... Esp with a full tank of gas. It was completely stock. My girls 5/7 12' R/T is a pig. It is clean looking, and sounds good, but it isn't there. Remember the R/Ts with the 5.7 come with almost 30 less HP. Weigh almost the same amount, and have the aerodynamics of a donkey ******* into the wind.

R/T challenger is a good 1,000 pounds lighter than a crew cab ram(4,000 vs 5,000+ pounds) I've seen a 2011+ charger R/T bone stock run a 13.9 in over 2500 DA

Neither of us do :) My buddy needs one in his ragtop vette, as well as in mine. Other than that no. It is a truck :p Just bring it and you're good to go.

No shorts, make sure you have jeans. Make sure to not have your A/C on at any time before you line up. It will drip condensation and they will pull you off the line. Other than that you are good to go. :)

haha ive been looking for that post, lol only time i wear shorts is when i golf so im good lol.... yeah ive been told about the ac thing.... i have a helment from when my dad had a motorcycle....idk where it is at or if its the right type or meets afety requiremnts

wonder if a buddy will let me borrow his cai until mine comes in

oh guys and gals.... if it closes at midnight i will be there just may be late....i get off no later than 9 so i will be good to go
