Thats awesome! I wish we had something like that going on around here! My town is trying to set up a drag strip but the towns around it are opposing its construction.

well i wasnt last place! hahah i beat the white audi a4 wagon.

for my first time out i think i did good. plus those tires kinda suck for mud and stuff, but it was still a blast.





i ended up doing it all in 4wd obviously since my class was stock awd.

a few of the laps i used 4wd lo and it threw the truck in 3 instead of 2 (lowish speeds) and it made a HUGE difference.

all my fast laps were in 4wd lo, the torque is great and it allowed for a better rev range and let me kick the rear end out easier too.



all in all it was a blast! time for some lights and tires to do the road rallies coming up... im getting addicted :wink:

Cool pics, I would love to get mine out and do something like that.

I would be very careful doing that in 4 lo, when you get the tires spinning if they do happen to bite good your going to snap axles.
