Not bad for the first run. I remember my first time at the track. I just wanted to keep running the car back to back to back. Just sohappened to be a night with not alot of people and I bet I ran my car 15 times! I have never ran in the 14's, that was my biggest fear the first time.

It's pretty good runs first time or not.

I think you were stalling to 2000 while you were sitting there but you weren't leaving that hard.

That should be good for some low 13s maybe even some 12.9s. We need to go to Rockingham sometime.

If you get that 60 ft down, you should easily be in the 12's.

My car trapped 82.5mph in the 1/8th and it was doing 13.024 ET's

Beautiful car. I ran alot at Coastal Plains Dragway in Jacksonville NC, Kinston NC and once at the Rock for a Divisional race when I was in the Marines at MCAS New River Jacksonville. Hope you see the 12's, if the car runs half as good as it looks should be a done deal.

Hey Madmike..nice runs. Excellant trap speed also!

BTW..I am not sure if you are close to Raleigh but Dunn-Benson Speedway has test N tune every Thursday night. The place is really jumping. If you get there early enough, you can run as many times as you want. Around 8pm though, it begins to get a little busy. BTW..it is only 1/8 mile there.

There almost every Thursday..don't run my car every test n tune though...it really puts a beating on the car. If I do go, I'll wait for a dry cool night than I head down.
From what it sounds like, you might be a little too far to drive, race and then drive home again. Just thought it might be a good place for you to get more runs in...

BTW...with your trap, 12s should not be a problem for you!...all in the 60' times!
