Fail. What are you talking about? You came up to me and asked if I was Chris right after I ran that run. You introduced yourself to me and told me your username after seeing me.


The Charger reacted slower than a 'tard with no eyes (.837 R/T). His short time was 2.44 and finished the 1/8th in 9.832 @ 75.94.

BTW, I think the track is faster than Ennis. I think 1.6 is possible for me and I'm pretty sure I can do mid 12s even in the summer with my current set up. I can't wait until I go again and especially for the winter time.

LOL I just wanted to see if anybody else would recognize your car but the pic is too blurry, anyway what was wrong with your car? You said you had to leave and get something. I wanted to run mine but not on my 20s.

So what happened ?

Somebody crashed on the first run so they made it an 1/8 mile track ?

They will reopen the next event with a 1/4 mile right ?

The track doesn't have enough rubber being a new track. That coupled with high horsepower drag car, it probably led to the loss of control somewhere after the first half. He crashed or something so they had to clean up, making us wait another hour. The track officials wanted more rubber on the track so they closed the back half for safety. The pro drag race events will put some good rubber on the track, so 1/4 should be open on the next TT.

I got new goodies too. I can't wait until I put them on. I feel like I may have made impulse decisions/buys, so I may put them up in the Marketplace soon.

Your ninja edit has been caught.

I'd love to get rid of my heavy 40lbs driver's seat for the track. Can I borrow them for the drag strip?
