first time at the strip, need to practice last night i went to the track for the first time. it was the Sreet Warriorz street legal drags at Richmond. it was heads up run what ya brung. I drove 1 hour to the track, did 16 hot laps with 13 wins, with a best of 13.1964@107.30, 3 loses which consisted of 1 red light, 1 total loss of traction, and 1 11 sec Honda drag car. the LS1 guys that I was hanging around with were too modded to have a good comparison and they were averaging 12.8s. cool guys they were trying to coach me as I had never done this before. there were bikini contest, burnout contest, car show, etc.... i could never get lined up with what i wanted. the closest run i had was a BMW M5. the Mach1 i finally got to run ran a 14.56@102 to my 13.43@105. we both spun a little. overall i was happy considering what everyone else was running. the drag cars, like 2 of them, were running solo passes and the only reason i lost to it was because no one else would freaking go because it was a drag car. i just got tired of the wait and said i'll run him. i didn't have a pride issue to loose. they were test and tuning but they weren't suppose to be there. temp was 82.9*, humidity was 58%, 75ft elevation, DA 1841, and the track sucked if that gives you enough info to decipher and critique my runs. corrected numbers were 12.92@109.647. I’ll have all the slips as soon as I figure out how to convert them to digits. thanks for the advice guys if you are here.
