Video: 6,200 lb Turbo Escalade finally makes it down the track.

Finally got my truck out to the track.

Only got one run in because I had technical difficulties. With a better 60 it should get close to 8.0s in the 1/8 and high 12s @ 102ish in the 1/4.
60 ft 1.9972
330 ft 5.4487
1/8 8.3656
1/8 84.54 mph

LOL at my front wheels burning out.

There was a crazy 16 mph head wind on that run.

Did I work on a car for you?

Red Line. I'm not a fan of the short tracks, I would rather stretch my legs in the 1/4 but Dallas Raceway closed (REALLY sucks because this was an awesome track VERY close to home) and Texas Motorplex doesn't open till late March.

Damn, I thought Crandall was by far the nicest 1/4mile around. I'd much rather go there than Ennis any day of the week. Sucks to see they closed.

I thought that was Redline, but I hadn't been there in years so I wasn't sure.
Looks like a fun truck man. Im sure it'll love the 1/4 once the track opens back up!
