new to the track

That was fricking awesome! I love it!

Sweet!
I still chuckle at how dumb that was... Kinda suprised me just how much it chirped the tires though when I shifted from 1st to D under part throttle...

Oh yeah!!!!! I've got that beat!!!!! How's about going to the track for the very first time in an automatic...doing your short burnout, pulling up to the line and then gunning it...only to have this happen... Check out the girl's reaction sitting in the bleachers...

Did my burnout in 1st gear and never put it back into drive afterwards...Way too excited and TOTALY forgot

Your son sure had a cute comment. So how did you do this with an automatic?

 

[Joe Fan]

well . . .
(remember) my first time ever at a strip,
burnouts were definitely better when i didnt forget to diable the tcs
(never stalled it, nearly did though)

Your 60 foot times are better than anything I have ever done and I have done the 1/4 in 13.682 and also done three 13.7 runs. Your problem is your 1/8 mile times and mph. Most of mine are low 9s and around 80mph. What was the weather like that day? Temp/humidity and barometric pressure.
