    well, made my first ever trip down the track, not the best time in the world, but my buddy said I wasn't the slowest, so that's a good thing.

    Please keep in mind that I'm primarily running second had parts, and junk yard jewels, old junkyard $10 firestone tires, open rear and 2.80 gears

    this is all from my 5th run, had the best time here, but I had a better rt on my second, car just doesn't hook yet
    RT-.696
    60'-2.52
    330-6.853
    1/8-10.24
    mph-71.71
    1000-13.169
    1/4-15.614
    mph-92.04

    looks like I got a lot of work to do, but it held together:drive:

    nah, I work too many jobs to try and get down there, full time at a school, part time on a farm, and have a little mowing business on the side.

    At least my 1/8 time's not too bad, was hoping to hit 14's in the 1/4 today, over estimated my car's ability to hook

    At least it made it there and home, and stayed together. You should have posted you were going to the island we were just there. I would have came down to hang out with you and watch some racin.
