Turbo LS '95 Chevy: Grandpa's Former Daily Driver Turns Into Drag Truck! (Test Hits with a Dragy)

What happens here

The team discovers the drag strip's main racing surface is wet due to recent rain, rendering it unsuitable for high-power testing. As a result, they decide to move the truck to the drier return road to perform their initial tests. The truck is carefully driven off the trailer and repositioned.

Goal: Relocate testing to a suitable track surface due to rain.

gonna do something oh well i mean you want no prep this is no prep that's more no prep than i bargained for so we may have to do it on a return road i didn't even think to come look because that's way more water than i'm driving on it's fine it is some radial pros without any sun to dry it i'll just do it on a return rib all right change of plans i guess we're going to the return road so we moved down to the shutdown we're going gonna run the track backwards i think it's cooler down here anyway it's definitely more it suits the bill of what we're gonna do with it so this is great for those yeah really like mine hooks up better on bumpy stuff like this than it does on a cold track oh yeah like yeah i haven't made the hoosier spin on the street but i'll spin on the track if it's cold yeah well the track's one of those things so it's like it's has more traction than you could handle until you lose it and then it's gone yeah there's no recovery whereas here even if there's a slight amount of wheel speed you can kind of whack it keep going yeah it's just like running on sandpaper yeah when your stuff's so heavy it picks it back up yep so it's a plan here just going to get in it and see what happens yeah make sure it's going to run good on gate make sure everything's happy it'll make a pass under power trying to make sure that front dip is locked in
