the run i saw him take was 12.01.

the guy left before i could talk to him, he broke out of his bracket.

Ashcroft? That track is at a pretty high elevation, too.

Check these V6's. First is 2whl. dr. Second is all-wheel

The all-wheel uses the same transfer case that the all wheel drive Astro vans use. Hmmm. Wonder if that system would work in a GMT 400. Ton of mods to do that swap, I would think.

Caltracs are the best thing you can do to a leaf suspension. Fabbing them yourself is a lot to do if you're not an avid metalworker esp when the kit is only $350.

Do you run DR or street tires.

Street use only truck, so street tires. BFG Radial T/A's, 275/60R/15's. In South Florida, our asphalt roads are a very coarse coral rock & shell base mix. No traction problems at all when dry. Tires are always hot. When the roads are wet, its a different story, lol.
