Default Took Her to the Track

Reaction time: .0609
60 ft time: I ain't sayin
1/8 ET: 7.8541
Trap: 105.88 mph

I didn't hook up well (it was an extremely hot *** afternoon). On this run I slid the rear out about 4 feet and spun for 30 feet before I got any traction. Needless to say my 60FT times just sucked to hell due to not hooking up although I was able to put down decent trap speeds. BUT my buddy and me had a frikking blast so there ya go. There were three other bikes there and nobody was exactly burning up the track. I feel there's a 6.9 @ 118mph in this bike but today wasn't my day.

So I'm disappointed in the rider's performance but I was nicely surprised at how good the bike ran considering it's set up for twisties.

Here's pics of some stuff that ran. My buddy's car is the slightly yellow 'stang Things That Go Fast

I got some decent wrinkle tire pics. The Vega darn near got the front wheels off the ground.

That Yellow Mustang looks a Beast!! The reason I ask Is you should be able to do the 1/4 mile in 10:10ish stock. Looks like a good track.

That would have been a cool pic of me when I got all sideways at the start -- it was just my friend and me that went and we were both running.
