Default Took her to the track this past weekend! /gun show

and almost hit the wall a couple times! jk kinda... I bought some slicks awhile back and finally got to run them but they did not work well. The side walls were getting flimsy and the whole rear of my car would start fish tailing as I would catch speed, it was pretty scary!

I switched to my street tires and it sucked as well, no traction at all!

Ran high 15s the whole time and was pretty disappointed

but, right before leaving I decided to try my gf's drag radials after her pops mentioned it. Did two runs, first was 14.27 and the second was 13.91. Both runs felt awesome and were a rush. I know with a few more runs I could have done better!

Cliffs: I need new drag radials but am also considering a new rear end rebuild with ladder bar system to run huge tires under the rear!

After the races I came home and had to re-park everyone's cars haha



and on a side note I went to NHRA races in Phoenix a couple weeks ago and this awesome Stang was doing wheelies! in bracket racing

Come to MI and buy them from me.


Actually if you order a new Ford, you can order it from me, and have it drop-shipped to your local dealer.

I may have to take you up on that at some point! I am not a big new car fan though... If you find another incredible barn find I am definitely in! I will even come get it in person!
