Default First time at the 1/4th in the z

Well I finally took my 99 A4 z28 to bristol to run the 1/4th tuesday night. First run after driving an hour there was a 14.4@101 w/ a passenger. So then I let my fiance out and the best I got was a 13.81@102 with a 2.2 60 ft. I couldn't launch even with the 2.73 gears. So it was just a punch the gas thing when the lights dropped. Maybe before next year I'll have the money to get a stall and some tires. BTW this was on 245/50 kumho street tires. Like I said nothing amazing but makes me look forward to doing some more serious mods.

Yeah it's fun. I always love 1/4th mile racing but the closest track is slow *** bristol haha. So i guess a 13.8 at bristol isn't too bad. I'm pretty happy.

Yeah it is. I guess it's a trade out. Pretty scenery for slightly slower et's.
