How should an 03 prerunner do at the dragstrip? I'm not expecting much... but I'll get a video tape!

Throw your slicks in the bed just in case and pack your parachute.

Well this isn't exactly a track where fast things "go". I'm just using it to tailgate and embarrass some rice...

Damn I'm good...
60 ft 2.4
1/8: 10.93
Trap: 63.83

I predicted that to the T...
I actually beat a few things too... Couple civics, newer f-150 fx4, some diesel pickups, and a n/a 2g eclipse

So slow, my other car went 9.4 @ 75 1995 mx6

There's quite a few guys around here that run their trucks at the strip. Even a newer tacoma.

They don't go there terribly fast though

Most local events are bracket racing so winning doesn't require power just consistency.

I ran my 4Runner up at the Truckfest here in Denver a couple of years ago and hit 18.9 which was about 6 seconds slower than my Eclipse but I did go 3 rounds before being beat.

I dunno about this 1/8th mile drag crap, but here in America, we run 1/4 miles.

FWIW, I ran mine once for kicks and giggles and it clocked a 15.1 @ 88mph

I might try backet racing the taco actually, it ran 10.9 5 times in row! I really just use the taco as my hauler to bring my car to the strip though.

I don't know what part of America you are from, but many tracks run 1/8 mile as well. Evergreen speedway in WA, Irwindale Speedway in CA, are just a few I know of.

Yeah, 1/8th mile races are pretty common, dunno what you're harping about okie81. In fact, I'm from Nor Cal and just about every track around there runs 1/8th mile

Don't be so sensitive, TacoFitz.

The truck in the vid WAS pretty fast.

I'm still a fan of driving over stuff.
