went to the drag strip (1/8th)

[Stu]

Went up to the 1/8 mile drag strip tonight with some guys I met in class. Considering this is Charlotte, NC, they were all american V8's--corvette, mustangs, WS6's, etc.

I'm not a drag racer, I'm taking my car to a trackday next Friday, so I sure as hell didnt drop the clutch in any way or burn the tires. I'd let out the clutch at just above idle, and hammer 1st. It squatted/tookoff nicely

best of a few runs was 8.5 @ 80mph, a hair faster than the Corvette and .5sec or better on the camaros/mustangs. Got smoked by a '67 mustang drag car, beat a Si with NAWZZ, and a turbo Neon (srt4).

Had a good time, no plans to go back anytime soon though

Looks like she scoots down the track pretty good, get'r dun!!!


Mine ran a 8.9@76mph on the way to a 14.0@96mph so you'd definitely be in the low 13s in the 1/4
