Yeah, we had a fun time for sure! This was my first experience at something like this and it was a blast to be able to just stomp the thing and let it run! My best run was my grudge race against R_K_GT when he red lighted:

r/t 1.060 (can you say wake up stupid?)
60' 2.255
1/8 9.658
mph 71.48
1/4 15.071
mph 89.82

I did get to kill an older 5.0L Mustang GT in my first run, even though he had a better reaction time than I did - which apparently wasn't too hard to do that night - so that was great fun! Seems I need a MBC though........ damn, rkgt ran a 14.2!! Very cool.

R_K_GT was the only one of us there running the drag radials, MBC, phat bones motor mounts, etc. We all have S1 and Adam's UCP kit and the rest of us all ran very consistant times. Tezz even had the factory stock tires. Our second runs were all under much cooler conditions as the sun was going down......pretty serious temp differences from midday to sunset in SoCal, so I'm sure that had most everything to do with our times dropping so much.

Serious kudos to Tezz though for running a 14.7 with stock tires and no BC of any kind!
