Default So I hit up the track last night....

Was a really humid night... and even the race cars couldn't get traction.... on to the numbers:

1st run:
R/T: .394
60ft: 2.220
1/8: 9.5333
1/4: 14.695
MPH: 96.10

Last run:
R/T: .176
60ft: 2.206
1/8: 9.189
1/4: 14.181
MPH: 98.65


This was on some nearly bald-*** 18" street tires... I didn't feel like running home to get drag radials.... and the only "performace mods" were the CAI, O/R X and Side Exit-exhaust (which actually is holding me back)
