Gates open at 11am.

I'm heading up to grab a few runs in the turbo.

Anyone going?

 

So, this was my first time in this car at the drag strip. I've drag raced many times in my GTO and have gone as fast as 9.1 at 150 and hold my NHRA license good down to 7.50s.

I drove the car to the track and got 24.5mpg there. Just unloaded the cooler and my mom and daughter and lined her up.

The biggest thing is getting use to launching AWD with a 6 speed.

My 2nd timed run out I left at 5.5K and chattered the tires a little (1st run was a 4K bog) and cut a 1.77 60ft and went 11.57 at 122.8mph. Not bad for a street tire and rusty 6 speeder!

The car is basically stock, power wise, as it has paper air filter, factory tune, ect. The only thing is a Fabspeed Version 3 exhaust which is their quietest one. It had 3/4 tank of 93 Shell as well.

Here is a video my mom took. Not the smoothest but you get the point!

Outside view:

In this video you will see me pull over 1.5G on the launch and at 1:30 is when the track personnel tells me if I go any faster I will have to get roll bars installed! LOL.

Good work there RUSTY LOL time was actually good. The 60ft was spot on. What tires?

 

Thanks! My street tires are Toyo Proxes P1s in stock sizes.
