Man I just watched your last run on video. Given the condition of the track your lucky you didn't put it in the fence! Nice bit of driving!

We can get together this week and I'll give you a pair of my old stock 17" rims for later on. I'll make you a copy of the video too.

It didn't feel like I was that out of control. Did it really look that bad?

I have to agree.......20" wheels are not for Drag Racing. But with the 4.10's and the mods in your sig, I think you'll be well into the low 13's with a little practice. Enjoy.
I would hope so...Im low 13 with 331 and a auto

It's not his DD. He has an Avalanche as his DD.

Mine is a standard. So, not only do I have to learn to launch correctly, I have to learn to shift correctly.
I'm a perfectly good driver under normal circumstances. I just have zero experience drag racing.

I guess I should clarify that it's not only my first race in the Mustang, but my first race in my entire life.

It doesn't matter how bad my timeslips look. I had fun, and I learned a few things. I intend on continuing to practice, and hopefully I'll get better.
