Take a ride with me down a short road.

Postby alpha » Thu Oct 07, 2010 9:14

It's only a quarter mile long, so it will only take about 14.090 seconds.

If I went just a tenth of a second faster, I would have been required to wear a helmet and fireproof jacket. Not bad for a mostly stock 16 year old car!!

I will point out the three biggest problems since I'm sure I will hear about them anyway...

1. I need a better mount for the camera. - Yes, I am HIGHLY aware of this! :rolleyes:
2. I have too much tire hop. - Indeed (I thought I felt something) :o
3. I need more light to see the gauges. - Where there is a will... :cool:

LOL Camera mount PHAIL Matt haha!

Otherwise good stuff. I'm sure I'd be embarrassed if I went up there, I'd be lucky to run a 14 anything.
:eek:

Yep, that was me.

I made one run with my buddy in the car and one solo before the rain came. Did you get the rainout special as well?

Yea. I was there in my MS3. Couldn't get the launch down and ran a best of 14.4 before the rain hit. Got 3 runs in though because I was there right when they opened.
