And as for you Laura, you goooooooo girl!! Show those boys what girls can do!!!
Come on out girlfriend! Once the Winter breaks, our club gets together with NVMC.com and head to Mason Dixon dragway for a 4 hour private track rental a few times during the season. This is perfect for newbies to get associated with drag racing and learn how to drive their cars. This is where I first had my cherry popped. You will love it. I'll keep you updated on when we head there. I believe the first one is in April.

Cool! I used Nitto 555s when I first went out. They sucked! Obviously, when racing with street tires or drag radials, it's like comparing night and day. You will learn all that when you get into it. There are so many variables. But, of course, it is all about fun.

Now, Nittos for daily driving are great.

On a side note, Nitto just came out with their drag tire....NT05Rs.....which seem to be getting good ratings.

Ah hah, you have separate drag tires? I was thinking of maybe using my stock rims for winter tires lol. Gonna throw a kink into things.

For real, I love the look of that CS, makes me want to get headlight splitters and new headlights, and the background in the picture is lovely.

I wish you luck. But you can't see an 11 with that setup. Congrats on the 12's goal you already accomplished. You're a better driver than me. Don't know how my elevation in IL relates to you?
