    Went to the test n' tune at Farmington Dragway tonight and I ran my Maverick and my friend ran his F150. The first run I had an RT of .297 and an Et of 9.140, and the second run I had an Rt of .413 and an ET of 9.095. This is only the second time I have raced, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I don't have any pics, but I do have some videos. I just have to figure out how to post them.

    Was this Farmington's regular Friday night schedule? It has been about 5 years since I have been there. Just wondered if it was very well attended - it certainly used to be.

    Yeah, it was pretty packed so I only got to do 2 runs. It didn't help that some Nova blew his engine and they had to clean up the track.

    Ok, I got the videos in my gallery now. I only got to race twice, once against a Duster and once against my buddie's F150.
