Default First time at the Track

I ran mid 13's with mild bolt-on's and a properly prepped track. It was easy really. The car has insane top end power. By far the fastest car ever produced under 20k, by an american automaker, with an engine that contains approximately 3.8 litres, with a 5-speed, and a wheezing "help me I'm dying" exhaust tone.

:o)

Where did you find a "prepped" track in Sac? I thought the track was closed until Feb.
