Default 1st run a the track since 1968

Just What it says guys, Been playing with the caddy for a couple years & finally made a trip to US41 drag strip.
Think the Caddy has a lot more in it, Just gotta learn to drive it with the 6 speed.
Here is a video of the run & time slip........ Not pretty But it's been 40 years

There is a ton left in that car still. It pulled like crazy on the big end of the track. Just get your shifting and launching down a bit more and you will see much better numbers.

Still a great time for your first time out.

Can't hardly read the slip but if that is a 7.08 in the 1/8 mile and considering the problems you had on that run your Caddy is well into the 10s my friend with some more seat time. (not knocking your driving but just giving constructive feedback) Car is awesome, just read your signature again, you should be in the 9s, my bad. I would hate to run up on that Caddy on the street. Good Luck

Taking no offense...... I know the driving leaves a "Lot" to improve on.
