The repair kit (jack, tools, etc) is out of the vehicle. I just keep a can of fix'o'flat and a AAA card handy.

Also, I only had 5 gallons in the tank, yes it was 91 and also poured in some cheap octane boost from Wal Mart, although I'm not sure how effective it was.. if at all.

I debated dropping the tail gate, but with the tire spin, I wanted the extra weight hangin off the back to keep the tires diggin' in.

If you look at the MPH at 1/4 mile, you will see with the tail gate up I ran FASTER at the end of the track.... CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT!! WTH??
With the tail gate down, I had a faster time, but was limping in the last 1/16 mile and had a slower MPH at 1/4.
Maybe having the tail gate down is adding a bunch of drag, even though it obviously reduces wind resistance...??
