I got home from work this morning @ 7:30 Am. I slept for 3 1/2 hrs and headed for the dragstrip. It was hailing and raining when I left the house but the track is 30 mile from the house so I hoped for the best. When I arrived at the strip it was cloudy but dry, They opened the gates for racing. (yeah).
The track was cold and I was the first one up. Most folks must have decided to stay home because of the forecast.
My first time up I floored it of the line and just sat there spinning the tires. The car never moved for about a second. After the first run, I started to ease into the throttle for a bit until I got out of the gate and then nailed it after I was rolliing pretty good and things slowly started to improve. I don't know why they were running the PRO Tree with so few cars there but I hate that thing. 1 Yellow boom Green.
Any way I raced a 2004 Mustang GT 3 times and wiped his butt everytime (not even close). Then a yellow 2004 Cobra showed up and I asked him to race. He was pure stock like me but with standard transmission.
I wheel hopped bad and he beat me. I said lets go again and this time I beat him. He said best 2 out of three and I beat him again. I think he was having worse traction problems then me but a race is a race no excuses and I feel good I beat a 2004 Cobra 2 out of 3.
Here are the runs. They start with my first run and end with my 10th.
The runs for the most part were back to back runs 3 in a row. You could have done a circle track there were so few cars.
