Highway 190 hooks better than Temple Academy Dragway LOL! (Sadly not kidding)

We need to make the drive to somewhere better.

To give everyone an idea of how the track was that night, full bolt on LS1 Fbodies were running 13.2-13.4 @ 105-106. A 6.0 swapped TA was running 13.1's @ 107. And my buddies H/C 3600 stalled TA pulled a best of 13.1 @ 108. I cant even say it was bad track prep, cause in all reality it was no track prep LOL.

Sad thing is texas heat is right temple doesn't hook worth **** or atleast I haven't had luck with it. Prairie hill is where I have run my best times. Maybe it was my launching or something but at temple I cut a 1.9 60 foot with a 5500 clutch dump on et streets......

When I used to race my old (slow) Integra at TAD, I got my best times there. I got better 60' times up in Denton, but comparing 1/8 mile times put Temple up there. That was the track where JamRWS6 ran a 12.99 @ 110mph in his '02 WS6 with just SFCs and a whisper lid.
