My suspension is not setup for drag either
If you didn't do a long, hot burnout on some drag radials then most likely what happened is when you drove through the water box you splashed water in your fenderwells. So after your burnout, you had water dripping down on your tires sitting at the lights therefor causing your serious lack of traction in addition to the water your front tires were tracking. Bad mojo.

It's all in good natured fun. I don't think anyone here was breaking any records. Well, except for David and Jeff. They are competing for who can make the most car payments without having actual possession of their cars. lol.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Don't know of anyone videoing my runs that night.
Shoot most runs nobody would line up beside me...
End of night, I finally got that white 5.0 to run beside me, Beat it clean by ET and nailed a .010 light to make it look like even more lol. Then on the return back the guy in that gray (primer maybe) mustang drag car wanted to run. Lost that on by about a length with an .075 light. and less than a .10 slower on ET.
Which I guess overall she was running decent considering I was in street trim aside from slicks. just so much much you can do with 5300 lbs worth of hemi QC.

It's funny you are just one of many ram guys that have moved to the new 5.0, seems to the fashion these days.
Is Josh (zemog) over here?
He was out last week in his.
