Went to the drag strip....

Brought my Tacoma to the quarter mile drag strip last night. My truck is a completely stock TRD Sport DCSB. It was really humid last night with a temp of 85 degrees, but I managed to pull these times:
60'- 2.249
330'- 6.495
1/8- 10.047
MPH- 68.68
1000'- 13.140
ET- 15.754
MPH- 86.28
I found out that preloading the torque converter/transmission actually helps with these trucks. I lowered my 1/4 mile ET by a tenth, in comparison to flashing the converter by just flooring it from idle I had a lot of fun. No problems with wheel spin. Got about 6 runs in before I called it quits. Here's a video of one of the runs:

Nice that's good, what was the car in the other lane?

 

That's my friend's 1988 BMW E28. He does drifting with it. It's gutted on the inside with the rear end welded for a locker. It's a fun second car that he just screws around with.

 

Nice run!
I took my old 2004 Prerunner, stock 3.4 with auto to the 1/4 mile once. Ran a best of 16.8 @ 79 mph.
Raced it against my brothers 2008 Ford Ranger 4.0, auto with JBA headers. He ran 15.2 @ 88mph.
Now my 2005 4.0 feels a lot faster, that for sure. Wonder what a TRD or URD charged Tacoma would run?

 

I'd think they would be in the high 13's somewhere.

 

This guy ran 14.3 - http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/buy-sell-trade/285522-2011-supercharged-toyota-tacoma-4x4.html with the SC and a couple other mods.

 

They don't require a helmet?

 

I think only 12.99 and below requires a helmet.

 

yeah, you have to be pretty quick to need a helmet. And if you're really fast you have to have a roll cage. I miss going to the local drag strip, it was fun.

 

Werty had a blower. he holds fastest 1/4 on stock internals 2nd gen 12.6 @ 106mph. trd blower then, now urd. he was selling his truck as is for 30k. just sayin.
