Dimes alive and Well I Baton Rouge

[Mad Max]

I found that my Cat was plugged on my cheesy 3.4 60* V6 when I was installing a set of headers. The engine pulled so much harder on the street with open headers, I figured I'd go to Capitol Raceway outside of Baton Rouge to see what kind of time it would do.
Well, there were 26 first gen dimes set up in all different ways. The fastest was a 9.642 quarter mile. Most were really nice clean rigs. The one truck running 9s had a STOCK rear with slicks. I couldn't beleive it. :yikes:
Anyway, my POS out of 3 runs ran a 16.74 - 82 MPH :laugh4: Street tires that wouldn't hook up. Even after heating the poo out of them. I think I might get a supersonic 15 second 1320 if it didn't spin:sick2:
All of that go fast stuff does nothing unless you have cubic inches to back it. :stirpot:

Sweet! Sounds like you had a good time at the track - I want some pictures of these beasts!!!

Yeah.. That's a lot of dime for one event..
Need to hand out cards and tell them about the site..
Too bad you couldn't get it to hook.. It still had to be fun..

That's alot of 10's Max. Hey, good deal, you got yours to the track. Sounds like you're on your way to the 15's. Sounds like it was a good time!

I wish I had a camera with me. Next time I go, I will have one. I'm going to have to buy a couple of stickers and hand out some cards. Mike, do you have anything like that? I saw the stickers, cards would be cool.
You guys are right, it was fun and a real challenge to get my POS out of the hole. The first run I almost went into the other lane - it spun so hard, when I slammed second gear. A little
V6 no less!! It's a 5 speed, so shifting a slush box is interesting. I usually beat the syncros on every shift. Heating up the street tires did little to improve the situation.
My truck gets the red card baby.
