[Birthday Bash] Beech Bend today
97 Coupe A4
R/T .018
60 1.743
330 4.990
1/8 7.722
MPH 90.18
1000 10.093
1/4 12.094
MPH 113.07
First drag of the season and this is my personal best. The vette went 11.958, but Bob Moss from Dragon's Breath Performance was driving it.
Lousy weather and 20 mph headwind.
Blackwing, polished throttlebody, throttle body bypass, LS6 intake, TPIS Headers, B&B PRT Exhaust
3.42 gears, Yank 3600, Transgo shift kit, M/T Streets
LS1-Edited by Bob Moss, all mods installed by Dragon's Breath Performance.
Bob drove it first and did 11.958!

Ah yes! I remember! What vette were you in today?
I was lucky, Liz couldn't make it this time, so I got to race! I was breaking in the new drag radials for her Mother's Day present

Yea those MT drag radials are supposed to be pretty good. I wasnt in a vette today I was in the suv, just went to watch everyone and some close friends ran their cars today. That was a good mothers day gift But from what I remember she runs that car great herself, she left me at the tree more than once

I think you broke Liz's record for number of times "aound the quarter mile track"!

I am hoping it will be ready for the cruise in. I am waiting on the f1r from procharger, I upgraded to Andy from A&A corvette's kit. I did get some fairly good video from this event.
