did ya'll get the whole track? |
Re: First exp with drag racing today.
You should definitely be in the 13's.
I dynoed at 227/262 and ran a 14.5 in a 3200 lb Mustang Vert. Probably would have bested that if I got more than one run that night. |

Re: First exp with drag racing today.
Consistant as hell for a beginner, must be an auto.
I kinda wondered what my 540 would do at the track. Did you turn off the DSC? |
Re: First exp with drag racing today.
I saw you running and nice runs. The turnout sucked compared to other years. Plus way too many people with street tires doing burnouts in the waterbox and pulling it to the starting line didn't help either. A lot of tools were there that were kind of ruining it for some of you that were there to race(i.e doing a burnout at the starting line while the tree is counting down).

Re: First exp with drag racing today.
13's is probably pushing it w/ nearly 4000lbs and a slushbox, but it could probably be done.
