Back from Atco
After a disappointing 1st two runs. The 3rd and final run made me smile.
I went 13.68@101mph with a 1.99 60'.
Not too shabby for a stock 93 A4 with 2.59 gears.

Re: Back from Atco (C4 Suke)
Suke, she got a strong motor, just like my 95.
I think that time is well within your reach.

Re: Back from Atco (Mr Mojo)
That was definitely a great time :D . It was really nice to finally meet some of the members from the Forum. If they are any indication of the group that belong to this Forum then we are very fortunate, really nice bunch of guys.
This was my first time racing at a dragstrip and I can't believe I've been missing out on this all of these years. The adrenalin rush is amazing, I will definitely do this again.
I'm no Kenny Bernstein by any means but you don't have to be the fastest to have fun, I'm hooked.(no pun intended).
Next time we need to see that bad azz black Pantera at the track with us. This means you X-Otic.

Re: Back from Atco (Mr Mojo)
Great pics, even got me sittin on my butt in a few of them. I had a great time, didn't really talk to you guys that much, but i'll hang with you all next time. I only ran 14.9xx(2.1xx 60's) on all 3 passes. If I didn't lock my keys in the car it would have been 4.....
It felt good racing again, and it was great to see all the Vettes down there. Seeing happy faces:), even though we all waited forever to race:sleep:, is what this sport is all about.
I did race a blue Vette(C3) on my second time shot, I got smoked, but at least I got beat by a Vette, I took out an import on my first pass, then got wasted by a 99 Z28 last run. Hell of a time, and can't wait to race again. Talk to you all later. :cheers:

Don't worry Tom, I'm working on it.
The conditions weren't right today for any decent runs.
