Default First Time With The 98

Well this is my first stick shift car. There are basically no engine mods (9mm spark plug wires)

This was my second time at this track racing, first time I had the 04 gt vert (auto) which is sold now

I got there early and of course forgot my iflip so I have no video but i do have shitty blackberry pics and 5 time slips to show

First run was horrible, i practically stalled at the tree, but when all said and done i had a great time

Here she is 1741
