My First Race Day
(heads up it is a 5 minute video)

Ok, I finally went to a race event, and raced. It was a 1/8th mile track at a local airport. No timers, just a "Flashlight" signal to start the race. They did have sensors at the end to say who won. I raced 6 times. I know I won 3 and lost two. There is one race where I am not sure who won. I think the other guy (67 camero) did and he thought I did. So take it as you will.

The first half of the video is about the JLT and the difference in sound. I did not hear much difference in neutral, but did hear a nice difference under load.

The second half of the video is about the races. The audience had to stand far away, so the pictures are not the greatest. But you can still see the race.

The first race clip is a great test. It was me against another 05 GT. The only difference is that I had a JLT intake with a tune, and the other guy was pure stock (except for flowmasters).

Enjoy.

 

Awesome....Sorry the Dodge smoked ya... ( Im sure you'll get his %@% next time...hehe

 

Well nice video man. I like it. So what were those trucks running to beat you. Normally a turbo diesel 2 ton truck wont have a chance. Must have been something under those hoods man. Cause you wont normally find a dodge 2500 getting any where near 0-60 times the mustang has. Nice job on racing tho. Definitely noticed a difference in sound once intake was added. Try adding a bassani comp cats, xpipe, and axle back system and it will really scream.

 

Nice vidio, bet it was a fun day for you!

Not sure what they had. But the grey one had a big sticker on his tailgate that read "Mick's Diesel Performance," or something like that. It is hard to tell, but I started to catch up. I guess their torque got me, but there Hp could keep them off for too long. I have heard if it was a 1/4 mile instead of a 1/8 mile I could finish ahead.

The funny part is the black one hit fourth gear by the time I was getting to 2nd. I did not notice until I watch the video with sound. Sad part was you can hear the audience laughing.

I was looking at the bassani set up. In due time.

 

Cool video!!! Looks like alot of fun!

 

Kluski thats pretty sweet man. Looked like one heck of a good time.

 

Cool video! Thanks for sharing that. I'd say they definitely have something extra under that hood.... I smoked my cousin in his stock Dodge 2500 (work truck) but his "chipped" and diesel turned up 2500 play toy, he smoked me... Both trucks are 2004s.

 

i don't know if i looking at the same video. the camra mile a way from the track ,can barly see the cars .at norwalk your about 15 feet from the track.

 

Cool Video man. Keep'um comin'!

 

Nice video, Thanks for taking the time to put that together...

 

Great video man. Thank you for all the props in it.
That first race against the 05, you really killed him!!
Thanks again
Jay

 

Yeah they are really far away but you can still see the beginning of the race pretty good.... enough to see the 2 trucks pull away from him pretty good and him pull away from the stock 05.

 

I don't get it. Those 2500's couldn't have been stock. They run somewhere between 7-10 seconds 0-60. Like every1 else said, they must be running some serious stuff under the hood.


But why would someone bother tunning a truck...i mean....it's a truck...not a sports car.

 

Awesome video! Thanks for posting that.

As far as getting smoked by the "rattle-rattle smoke-smoke" Dodge, yea, you gotta watch out for them diesels .....they have WAY more "Unlocked" potential than any stock gasser. Add 5" exhaust, unrestricted air intake and a chip and diesels create some serious HP/torque. (600 ft/lbs or more torque) He probably had gears too.

Don't forget that truck probably weighs twice what your car does. I know mine scales at 7300 lbs.

 

Tw0scoops, believe it or not, there are vehicle enthusiasts other than Mustang enthusiasts. There are just as many, if not more, aftermarket performance parts for a 1 ton diesel pickup as there are for a Mustang. Seriously, power is just as important to truck guys, if not more important.

When I spent more time on a Ford powerstroke site, i was in the minority not having exhaust mods and a serious chip....for power. Many posts on 1/4 times.

All in all, it isn't any different, just enthusiasts for different vehicles. In fact, many on that board had Mustangs as well.

 

Nice Vid! Yeah, you really got to watch for the "sleeper diesals', the HP and TG are incredible when they are modded.

 

C'mon, it was the angle of the camera! I only lost by about a car and half, go easy on me! Never the less, a loss is a loss. Good run Chris, I'll be looking for my revenge on June 18th.

Here's a pic I snapped with my phone while waiting in line.

 

Great video man. I can't believe that those trucks beat everybody. That's crazy. Do you notice any performance difference with the jlt intake?

 

Nice tape. They sure keep you back a long way from the track
