VERY NICE RUN FOR YOUR 1ST TIME OUT AND THE DRAG RADIALS AND OTHER BOLT-ON WILL ONLY HELP MAKE THE CAR MORE ENJOYABLE AND CONSISTANT. THERE IS ALOT OF GREAT INFORMATION ON THIS SITE TO MAKE YOUR CAR RUN IN THE 10"S IF YOU CHOOSE TO. B.O.L SCOTTY G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen guys with WAY more car and much slower ET's. What kind of MPH were you seeing? Good driving, Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of MPH were you seeing? Good driving, Phill This was my best slip of the night... .778 R/T 2.060 - 60' 8.255 - 1/8 90.64 MPH 10.594 - 1000' 12.594 - 1/4 115.25 MPH Was running 6-6,200 rpm at the end. I will scan a copy on Monday. Some of the Mustang guys at the track said for a rookie the times were very consistent and the car is quick. Had a fantastic time and going back on Friday to Mom's (Mustang on Mustang) http://www.mom ing.com/ Time slip.pdf Time slip.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it, it's a lot of fun. Pick a test and tune night, it's not as busy and the track workers will help you through it. You can make as little as one pass to say you did it or get right back in line and keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjm-1 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Way to go! :burnout: I'm envious... I'm having a hard time taking the leap. I go and watch, but never race. Besides Test & Tune sessions on Wednesday nights (or what we call Grudge Night), my home track (New England Dragway) also has test and tune sessions during the day. Actually you are renting the track with others for the whole afternoon and you can make as many passes a you like. In these sessions you only run one lane at a time so there is no chance of someone accidentally coming in to your lane. If you're like me and just want to run your car down the strip once or twice a year just to see what kind of numbers you can get, then this is a option. Check with your local track.
