i was just wandering how many of you guys out there go out to the track and race your car, or test it in the quarter mile. i would love to here anyones story about their races and/or their quarter mile times

 

hy spike,

i race every chance i get.I run at larue marion county dragway its a IHRA track. In the last 6 times ive been there i have won 4,runnerup once,and redlighted once Not to bad i think . the car is a 89 GT mostly all stock with a mild cam, E-cam,head work,C-4 tranny, 3500 RPM stall converter and 410 gears.Oh and a 150 hp NOS kit.i dont use the NOS unless it spins out of the hole,its to make up lost time. The runs 13.0s off the nos and mid to low 12s on the bottle.Not real real fast but it seems to work good.

 

that's not bad for only so little mods and nos!! you sound like you drive pretty well. i run low to mid 11's on a n/a motor.

 

i have never ran my stang yet but i did run my sho when it was stock.... bone stock she ran a 15.7 and that with my worst reaction time of the day... now she has an enlarged intake opening k&n flows 73 mm maf and a Ted B chip.... i beat my buddies 96 gt with flows with my sho... lol i love it....

 

that's bad ***, do you have any more plans for the sho?

 

I tried draging my buddies 91 sleath r/t turbo

He gave me a three car lenght head start

I was so scared because it was my first time racing, i had a bad launch and smoke until i got to third

I only been driving a stick for a month at the time, now i am better because i have been driving a stick for 2 months now. I will never beat him because he just got bust control put in.
