Default First time out!!

well I finally took my car to the local drag strip here and ran. I had 3 runs, 2 of them were in the 30+ heat, and thats celsius cause im in calgary.

my best of the night was later on and it was a 14.1 at 99mph with a 2.2 60ft.
not too bad for being on bald street tires and at our elevation of 3800 ft.

I know the car has 100mph in here now the way she sits, just need to go out a few more times.

Thanks all, I just wanted to post up my first time!!

14.1 on a blown NPI car? Wow I honestly am surprised.
