Went to the 1/4 at Bradenton, FL this weekend for test and tune. Was pleased to get the first 3 runs under 13 sec. with a best

ET12.848.
RT .243
60 ft time 2.106
Mph 110.47

Had 3 other runs over or at 13.000/// 13.05,13.09, and 13.000.
Ran with traction control and without. My best run with the first one with TC engaged.


Blew 2 runs entirely, too embarrassing to disclose, but had a great time. It was my first time to a drag strip in about 40 years. I'll definitely be back.

Great time with a poor 60 ft!

Is this an A4 or M6? Any mods?

Thanks. 60 ft time was not my friend. Planning on focusing on it next time out. It really seems to be the key. I think 12.6 may be possible with a good 60.
