So a guy I work with was telling me about when he took his Mustang up to the local drag strip got me thinking... I figured, why not? So I take it up there (oh first I did some googling to learn about how to take off!) and did a few runs. Man was that fun!! I had a smile on my face a mile wide. The car held up fine although I didn't thrash it too bad. It was a real fun time. Drag strip is in Thompson Ohio which is pretty close. First run was in the 17's then I got it down to the low 15's by the end of the night. Ended up making 5 runs. I will have to do that again.

That's good......knocking off 2 seconds by gaining experience.

Well done. Be warned - it's addictive.

You may not have been the fastest there, but your car was certainly the best looking.

Glad you had fun!

Not bad learned quite a bit about your car!

Cant say it appealed much either til I tried it somehting about it

Noticed on the way home I didnt speed or get on it at all.
Beter for your car on a nice maintained surface no?
Like going up one long fwy onramp nothing harsh about it.

Time for mods.

He's hooked! Now look at black hole and throw money. It WILL go faster! AND big question - did you beat any body or any Rustangs?

Congratulations.
If you run it again in late October it will go 5 tenths quicker just from the better air.

It looks like you had some fun there, I'm glad for you that you got some pics of the event.

I made my first run down the strip in many years earlier this summer, made a fool of myself, had alot of fun and clicked off a best of 13.80
I've since made some small tuning changes to timing, jetting, and air filtration, and also have practiced at getting better with the fast shifting.
I can't wait to get out there again.....

hahaha! yes, the black money hole... And yes I raced my buddy who has a mustang and beat him. (I had a two second lead though...) good fun though. He is the one that took the pics of me going down the track. And yes I'm already thinking about next time. I will have to take out the cooler of beer and pop, and remove the spare. Oh yeah and maybe try not to have half a tank of gas in her!
