Default Magnum at the Track

I know, I know. This is a mustang board but I took the magnum today just to see what the hemi could do. I had pretty much the same results I had in the stang, aside from alot of strange looks at the track (it has a luggage rack ).

Did three passes but this is the same dinky track that is only 1/8th mile and no slips but cheap. R/T was .65/.55/.25. Only got the times from two passes 9.69 and 9.72. She might be big and heavy but she ain't slow!

This was only my second trip to the track. I'm still getting a feel for staging and launching and just plain driving it down the track. I am having a blast learning it all and like today I was the only chick driving at the track, I love that ****.

I am sure I will get better and shave my times down but it's good to know where you started. But I will have to do it in a hurry, I don't know if there are any tracks like this in Germany, plus the hubby aint that thrilled about me racing.
