Stock Times at Ridgemont High... School Nationals. No track prep, tons of HS kids doing needless burnouts in radials, dodging rust chunks at half track
I went three rounds before redlighting by .020. short and 1/8 times were not on slips but the car felt like a 2.2 60', coming outta the hole sideways and feathering the gas every time. 99 plain TA 6-spd, 285/40/17 bfg kdws, 115K.
13.77@103.9
13.83@103.4
13.81@ 98.7 (had to back off to win)
Maybe next time I will have a good prep or just run the Nittos. Funnest daily driver I have had in a while.

Sorry to dissappoint, but I'm 26 and I am pretty good at powershifting. Yes to the bracket racing(bracket racing sucks) Yes, thats the fastest and only times I have ever had with this car, being it is the only time I have raced it. The car spun hard outta the hole and I had to feather it to a little past the 60' mark... as stated. Have to go back on a wed. or fri night to get a good prep so it hooks up, I really dont feel like changing tires. Should be able to get 1.95-2.00 60' and bring the ET down to a 13.40 or so.
