Took my truck to the track today for the first time...

Sorry if this is the wrong section to put this in...<br><br>Well, anyways, one thing I have to say is that 6spd is not the easiest thing to race The best I could get was a 16.1 @ 88mph. I know the main thing killing me was the 2.7 60-ft. I was starting in 2nd gear aswell. I read about people using 3rd to start but I figured either the clutch or the tires would go up in smoke so I played it safe in 2nd. BTW, I wasn't out to break any records or anything, just to see what I could do.<br><br>Though I didn't run real fast I did get to have a little fun. I put about 5 lengths on a 7.3L PSD quad cab long bed auto He was stock though. That and I got a 350 chevy by about 3. That made it all worth while ;D <br><br>Anyone have some tips for taking a 6-spd down the 1/4? I'm all open for suggestions
