Saturday night 1/4 mile Times

[The Saint]

Here are my times

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Must say it was a lot of fun,I think I did okay, and the SSR preformed well, I was close to what I expected, I got six runs in and got better everytime. I think that was due to the night getting cooler as it went along. My first run was around 7pm and last run around 10pm. There where a ton of cars and I think the SSR did us all proud, only lost once the first one of course by a 1/2 car length was gaining from about 3 car lengths behind off the line. The car that beat me was a done up Eagle Talon, I then beat 2 mustangs, a Grand National we both redlighted I saw him go and went too, Then beat a GTO Nissan a european model with the stearing wheel on the wrong side, and a ford probe turbo GT and the last one of the night was against an old super bee with a 440 thought that it would likely beat me but he could not hook up and I beat him by 20 car lenghts.

Thats what the slips read anyway, fairly consistant. I power braked a bit not to hard, just let the automatic shift itself, I think the last run I may have power braked a little more , I was real slow out of the gate but had a good time.

I like that last run.. Slowest reaction time but the best ET. Looks like there are some faster times out there to be had still.

Cool! You did better than I did my first time... I was completley stock (my excuse!). I hope you had as much fun as I did. I can't wait to go again!

The local drag strip in my area starts having Friday Night Grudge Racing starting on May 25, I am looking forward to it because I hear there are a lot less cars and you can get more runs, I only got two runs last time with the BF Goodrich ET Drag Radial Tires, didn't get a chance to experiment with different launch techniques to maximize my times, runs consistently in high 13s but should dip to mid 13s if I get it to hook up off the line.

Got to watch it that drag racing gets in your blood and it is hard to get it out, Oh by the way TMZSSR How wide of drag radial you run on your SSR
