First runs on the strip!

Too much fun! I'd have to take my clothes off to have more fun! Wish it was a 1/4 instead of 1/8th though. I think I did ok for my first time lining her up. Stock P zero 21's, lt's, intake and a tune:


9.07 1/8 mile
.45 reaction time

I'll be going again, that's for sure!

There are only two options in life. Fight or flight. Most people run. Almost all people run. But not us. The difference between us and everyone else is that we run towards the gunfire. And that makes all the difference.

Way to get out there and have some FUN!!!

Doing the math looks like you would have been in the upper 13's in the 1/4 mile... Keep practicing and you'll see those times come down!

Yep, keep practicing. And if you get a little more serious about bringing your times down, swap out your 21" wheels for a lighter weight option (at least on track days).

Yea, as soon as my rubber is worn I'm going to some lighter weight 18-20" wheels. I'm paying way to much to go slow with those Damn things! Also am looking at some bushings. Im not trying to build a drag car, but is sure a heck of a lot of fun! First autocoss is tomorrow, it's a hard life folks!
