Oh ok thanks! And it is king of street or whatever? Does that mean you only get one run if you loose your first match up? The website says test and tune but then says open to changes in schedule. Sorry for all the questions here

I saw some pretty nice cars and solid runs today I made a lot of beginner mistakes, but on the positive side at least i got some experience now.

Oh its ok I barely knew what to do haha hopefully i didn't get anyone too upset at me i shoulda just watched for a bit but the lady at the gate said to just hop in so i kinda just figured things out as i went. It was pretty bad man..haha 14 flat was my best. I couldnt get a 60' to save my life and spun out in 2nd almost everytime too.

If yall want a laugh here's funny first time junk.

Lady at the gate told me to use the left lane, so i used that one the whole time (i dunno if the right was any different) but i thought about it after and wondered why i didn't.

Took a bit of time (probably a while) first run to figure out i needed the 2nd light before i could go.

Guy told me to roll my windows all the way up 2nd or 3rd run. (oops haha duh..)

Forgot to turn off t/c one run till after almost killing it trying to burnout.

Forgot to let pressure out of rear tires. (around 30psi the whole time)

Had to stop after 5 passes cause i didn't have enough gas in my tank anymore.

Bout all i can think of right now

Thanks! Here are some more:

Not sure who this was, but it was a procharged SS running mid 10's



















I haven't dressed any of these pictures up. Although photobucket takes away some quality they still look pretty nice. I'm very pleased with this new camera.

^ I think they look good. What are you shooting with?
I'm not a BIG fan of most pictures being over-edited. Dan has his signature black border and vignette in all his pics, so it's good to see some originals. BTW, no disrespect, I enjoy all the pictures posted. Every time I am out driving I find a spot where I am going to take pics of my car when it's back on the ground.
