Well I drag raced for the first time ever in my car yesterday. I gotta say I was nervous as hell, and really didn’t know what to do, but once i made 2 passes I was having a ball. I’m really used to road course driving so this was completely different for me. This was at the event out at quaker yesterday. My best run of the day is as follows. R/T .530 60’ 1.756 330 5.267 1/8 8.213 1000 10.715 1/4 12.932 MPH 105.39 I had 3 12.9xx passes and 3 13.0xx passes. my first run was a 13.7, and second was a 13.4. I started to get the hang of it. I got to run 12 times! Anyway, great time, and I’m sure i will be at PRP soon. ---

thanks guys, was a good time for sure… though now i need a clutch. 1320 thanks for the compliments on the car, i really wasn’t going for any kind of look really. Everything I have done has been to make the car go… with the exception of taking the stock altezzas off, and putting some evo 7 tail lights on. Whitey, that pic of me and the yellow srt4 is kinda cool. ---
