I have not been to the drag strip in almost 30 years! I live pretty close to Sonoma and will be picking up my R1T on Monday. Hope to hit you up for some info on when the next drag day might be..
Rivian needs to make a drag mode. This could unlock the full potential of the truck with no speed limiter. Could be for controlled track only with some type of unlock key that could be used at the strip by an official that has been licensed. This could make Rivian not liable. Oh well dream on ...at least someone could hack and remove the limiter?
You "deep staged" on your first pass which will help your reaction time, but hurts your elapsed time. Not surprised to see the big improvement on your second pass. Try bumping in as "shallow" as possible.....just turning on the stage bulb. This gives you the most "run" at the tree and will help your ET. Thanks for posting. Paul Oak-Town Hustler Racing
I wasn’t, “moaning about the weight of the scooters and bag”, simply stating that they are in the truck and adding to the weight. I already stated that I was running truck with all my daily equipment with the addition of few things.
Just another Gasser, bitter his prehistoric pig is slow. The best part is? He can increase the ground clearance to 15" and off road superior to a Rubicon. Must suck to be bitter.
Love it when the noise makers fade away behind me too !!!!! Quickly !!!!
I feel like someone could make a killer subwoofer setup in the gear tunnel
That would be pretty cool!

Oh man, Monday is soon! I’m guessing from the South San Francisco center?
Yeah SSF. Super excited. Will be the first truck I own, not to mention fastest
that looks like fun!
It was! I need to go back and attempt to break the current world record of 11.5 seconds.

I agree that there should be some type of mode which allows you to raise the speed limiter. 110mph is a little too low IMO.

I will try that next time! Thank you for the tip!
those are some broken scooters back there
Lol they are just folded in half. Although, they probably didn’t like getting launched on the strip 🤣.
Are you the guy from fresh off the boat?
Moaning about the weight of the scooters and bag is irrelevant to your time compared to a 7000lb truck.

He probably has a TRX
