Saturday night was my first time taking my car to the drags. After riding with 02pewterbird he showed me how fun it was participating in the drags. Anyways my best time was 16.849, i really want to go back next week and see if I can beat my old time. Its fun stuff out at the drags [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I'm still faster than you. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

My best time was 16.000@88 with a girl in the car. After that run I couldn't get traction at all. The 16.0 was against the 76 Monte Carlo my dad had for over 20 years but I found out the guy is pulling the engine soon to put in another car and selling the body. :( At least I got to ride in it one last time.

He had the Monte Carlo weighed and it's 5500 lbs with him in the car, so about 5300 lbs without a driver. It was running low 17s. Not bad for a completely stock car that weighs that much. It does wicked burnouts too. :D [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Damn, what kind of ricer did you race running a 17.7?

I think you will be able to beat your old times next time you go [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

How many passes were you able to run your car?

Um.....

That "ricer" would be me. [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

That was my last run of the night and I was almost out of gas. I couldn't stop spinning while launching and gave up and shifted to second to get traction. Then I was trying to shift to third and missed the gear and couldn't get it into gear for like the first time ever. I got it into gear and gave up and shifted to fourth and just finished the 1/4 at about half throttle. [img]redface.gif[/img]

I got to run like 15 times or more but I parked for a while then came back. The other guy I raced knows who he is!!! I wont say any names. I racing 02PewterBird in his camaro and one him once, every time I raced him I was able to kick his butt of the line but after he would hit 3rd gear he would start to pass me. I think my car did great against his 3.8L, plus I have almost 100,000 miles on my car, not to shaby. :D
