My dad put those on one bike for about 2 weeks.

When I had my bike I rode with 2 Harleys that both had drag pipes. It was insane to be in between them taking off from a light.

It's pretty modded already, but there is room for more. It has the wide tire kit, custom paint job, lowered, drag bars, chrome, etc. Needs aftermarket forward control, grips and maybe a supercharger..LOL..As for the exhaust is has no baffle Vance and Hines Short Shots.

I pay $7 at Shadyside to get in the gate and beat the crap outta my car as many times as I want to. Even at Bristol it's only $10 for unlimited passes on test & tune nights.
All depends on how many runs you want to do and how convenient it is I guess. I can't see myself doing more than 2 or 3 runs in a night until I have more done to where it's worth it. I'm more interested in watching at this point, haha. Plus it's about 30 minutes down the road from me. Half the other tracks would take $20 in gas just to get to.

I don't know where many other tracks are though, so if someone has a better one than that nearby then I'm down. I've never even run at a dragstrip before, but I do plan on doing a few with this car.

You're probably right, I say I would just do a few, but even mostly stock I'd want to keep running.

The more you have done to it the fewer passes you usually make.... That's the way it usually goes anyway. I usually average one pass per hour when I go. Have to get a proper cool down (45min), pull a couple of random plugs to be sure everything is safe, tweak the suspension some, make adjustments to tire pressure, etc.... That usually kills an hour easily. So if I usually get 3passes, 4 if I get there early enough.

Well, I'd just be running to work on my driver mod, which even then is a bit pointless since so much will change with just some suspension work and DRs, but all experience is good. I'm just not overly excited to run a mostly stock GT. Maybe get some baseline numbers then I'd be more interested in watching other cars. I definitely plan on hitting up the drag strip and track every now and then and more so once I get more done to it, but I don't plan on doing it too often or too hard. Too much unnecessary wear for a daily driver. I have a whole stage 2 planned for this car once I add up some miles and end up rebuilding the engine and really adding power. Then I'll be a lot more interested in racing!

I'd definitely like to see some of you guys with more done run your cars though!
