Default My first time racing E.T.'s

I ran my 82 this weekend.

Alright, I know there not much but this was my first time racing.
1/8 mile track in Pheonix City, Ala. My car still has stock exaust, street tires and air conditioning on it.

Also they gave me a pro tree both runs and it kinda caught me off gaurd. Gotta work on that.

Here they are

First Run
Reaction time 1.174
60 foot 2.06
1/8 9.241
MPH 74.76

Second Run
Reaction 1.174
60 foot 1.99
1/8 9.077
MPH 75.39

Anyway I had a blast, I can see now I'm hooked for life. 2nd mortage time

Whadda ya think?

Good job! That's pretty good times (for a Cross-Fire)!!!
My '82, with just 21,000-miles, and 3.73s gears as the only mod, went 2.118-60', and 9.562 @ 71.58 in the 1/8-mile.
You 'smoked' me pretty damn-good; what's the story???
:confused:

Glen, check out my sig web page link.

I'm not running the crossfire anymore, also have 3.73 gears

Once I get used to the pro tree, I'll be in the 8's :D

BTW Yours are great times for a crossfire, no way mine wouldn't have come close without the mods

Great job but if you're going to win any races you'll have to get those reaction times down. Most races are won at the tree before the clock even starts.
