Took awhile, but better late than never
Track was Luskville Dragway in Quebec. Outdoor temps were a bit higher than I would of liked (about 25 degrees C, or 78 F), but not much I can do about that. Did 5 passes in all, trying sport mode, TCS and VSC on/off, all were within a tenth or two of each other. Best time of the day was 16.25 @ 85.4mph.
I can tell you the truck does not like being repeatedly hustled down the 1320. On my third run transmission got hung up shifting from 2nd to 3rd, very weird (kind of like missing a shift in a manual car, rpms went screaming up). Anyways it was a lot of fun, even though I more often than not got
my best race and win was against a V8 Nissan Titan
(although it was a close race, he beat me our first time out).
P.S. Accidentally went down on pass 4 with the A/C on. Slows the truck down by about 0.1 seconds, FYI.
P.S.S. All races above were done in a dream.....and in Luskville Mexico.....should any insurance companies be reading this lol
