Default Went to the track yesterday

We went for some TNT yesterday at Temple. They scraped the track for the first 70' to try and make the track level and even. I was only able to come out of the hole off the foot brake. I tried off the transbrake and just blew the tires off past the 1/8 mile.

Anyhoo, here's a quick vid of a pass. Every car out there was anywhere from 1/2 to a full second slower than their usual times because of no traction. My best 60' out of 7 passes was a 1.83 when I usually am in the 1.4x-1.5x range.

Nice ride man.. And I see what you mean, no traction off the line. But a 1.8 is better than my car with tons of traction[&:]

What was your ET and MPH?

That's one of the hoakiest looking tracks I've ever seen. It looks like it's in someone's backyard. No wonder you couldn't get any traction.

You're not going back there, are you?

Guard rail keeping you from the parking lot? Shady man. Those backyard dragstrip bug me out sometimes. And I thought Cecil County Dragway in MD was ghetto
