Default Went to the track friday night.....

I went because I wanted to use the Year One gift certificate (to fill my bottle) before I left town. So I figured I would just make a few passes in full street trim...tires and all, lol. I felt like I could be in a Supra club.

Needless to say, traction was a bit of an issue.

Here's what I ran.....

12.86 @ 119.8 2.24 60'
12.87 @ 121.0 2.32 60'
13.09 @ 120.3 2.51 60' <-- tried the right lane
12.85 @ 120.3 2.30 60'

It was fun even though I was feathering the gas and was on/off the nitrous until third gear. After these four runs, I went to sit down for a little bit then was going to take my wife down the track for my last pass but the skies opened up and we headed home.

I was the 1st car to run firday, 13.08 @ 112mph 2.1 60ft after that my 60' dropped to 2.4-2.5 i think people were dragging water from the box onto the track. The right lane SUCKED!!! i spun through 2nd and 3rd feathering the gas.

Yea I agree, the only way they can get there little wrong wheel drive cars to spin is to sit in the water box then they drag all the water with them to the line! There are some tracks that I wont run at cause they are ricer magnets.

I've hit 11s already on drag radials but I just wanted to have some fun and didn't feel like changing the tires.

Jack, right?

The right lane was much slicker than the left no doubt but I think they skimped on prepping the track because they knew it was going to rain and turnout would be minimal.

Sorry Steve, I'm as straight as an arrow. Never swinging to the dark side. I've heard Ben on the other hand swings both ways once he's got enough bubbly in him
