Yea the car might be a bit slow for this crowd and I have no experience at the drag strip........but we all have to start somewhere.



Thanks for the kind welcome.

Transamtom
hey how are ya?
some answers here

14.3
But it was my 1st time at a drag strip (as a driver) and i tryed a few things ie: with tc....w/o tc.....stall....no stall....let the car shift then i would shift it and so on.

OK this is kind of embarrassing but it is the truth.....the best run was the first one i did,with tc on and let the car shift its self.
worst run no tc i shift (and spun out like mad) .....um..here it is ...sad...15.2.....hangin my head low.
I will understand if i'm asked to leave the site now.

if i had of knew that it was F body night i would have been there.
tell me more about your club.
dont think i will run till i do my winter mods,the rear is realy noisy (so were my 3rd gens) and the trans is weak,shift kit at least.
