That's not bad. Your 4x4 with heavy tires?

Where they screw up is when they let 5 or 6 lines form. They don't have anybody monitoring the back of the lines, so they will let 10 cars from 1 line run, then 30 cars from the next, then 20 cars from the next, etc...I cant tell you how many times I got stuck in that line where only 10 people went through. I have literally sat in line there for 2 hours before making my first pass. That is not fun.

Sealy is much less crowded, but the track is not prepped as nice.
Yea I was trying to play the lanes to try and get to the front. It was really disorganized.

My buddy that went with me has a lightning, and he had his go pro on the fender. In one of the videos you can see how close they line you up to the edge of the track. He's gonna screen shot it tonight and I'll post it.

So for about 1200 bucks you can run mid 14s in a 6 speed and low 14s high 13s in an 8 speed?

Yes, some will say you can do it even cheaper by not getting a CAI.

There is a guy in NJ that has a tune only 4 door, 4WD, 8 speed that ran a 13.47 a couple of weeks ago.

Do you have an 8 spd?

No sadly i have a 6spd with 3.21. Next week the 3.92 will be in and ill go run it. I have 2 friends with 8spd crew cabs and they both faster than me. I hate to see how bad it would be if i didnt have a tune.
