Default Track Times

Quite a few of you here know me and are keeping tabs on my little swap for future refrence..

These are times from Centerville Dragway, it's a 1000ft Track, we went Saturday night. I plan on goin to Memphis 1/4 Mile here on the 31st.

My 3 best runs..

60ft - 1.5652
1/8 - 7.0511@98.30mph
1000 ft - 9.0728@111.58mph


60ft - 1.5838
1/8 - 7.0616@98.53mph
1000 ft - 9.0778@111.94mph


60ft - 1.6445
1/8 - 7.1840@98.19mph
1000 ft - 9.2082@111.55mph

One of the guys that went with us to the Track is a pro photographer.. he posted proofs of his pics up on one of out sites here.

This is me in the burnout box about to heat the Tires up. Notice how low the car is here..


This is me launching, that is a MICKEY THOMPSON ET STREET DRAG RADIAL, size 275/50R15 wrinkling in the back..this was my 1.583 60ft pass..

That's good. I ordered my S60 on Tuesday. I figure might as well replace my rear before I tear it up so I can keep the S60 if I ever sell my car. BTW nice times!!

So far he is 0-5 with that Vette on a Drag Race.. I said get some Radials and take it to the Track, but that guy will never go to the Track. The funny thing is he is goin around telling people that he was never in it full throttle. I'm sorry but if I had a $80k+ Corvette I wouldn't let it get pwned by a Mullet Mobile...
That and everyone that knows this from him called BS on his part..
