1st time drag strip
Sorry no time slip.But it was just test and tune at the local strip and they didn't have the lights going
at the time.Never went down the strip before!Sitting there watching all the badazz cars rip through
the gears,exhaust pounding at my chest,and the burning eyes from the fuel in the air...........Someone
said "take your stang down it"WHAT..just being a spectatorI said.Yeah 2sec. later at the tree
I'm thinking don't miss a gear,don't bog...lol.Well I got to the end of the 1/8 mile track and could not
believe the feeling.Better than...well you name it!Point of this post,if you ever thought of running and haven't
yet.GO Tomorrow!!!

RE: 1st time drag strip
Being basically stock.....not much of a chance,Just used 3 gears(hitting 3rd about 10' from the line)
Est.80mph? Man I did break loose but never felt out of control.Just take her down the track,don't try to
be John force!!
P.s hammeron: I hear you man,Same here.But like I said It was the first time for me,and its totally different
than what your used to.Don't let a good thing pass you by man!

RE: 1st time drag strip
My passes number in the 1000's and the only time I have ever hit the rail was when I broke an axle in a short wheel base (Monza) Super Gas car (9.20's unstopped).Broken left axle in a spooled car with the front tires 18" off the ground means "left turn now"!
If the car starts to get out of shape lift...
