I don't have a scanner so i'll just list my 2 runs at the track in Medford. These were my first ever runs at a track !
1st Run :
SCd T-Bird / Me
+.365 Reaction +.520
2.060 60 ft. 2.544
5.944 330 ft. 6.508
9.236 1/8 mi. e.t. 9.744
75.09 1/8 mi. mph 75.11
12.082 1000 ft. e.t. 12.561
14.484 1/4 mi. e.t. 14.931
93.36 1/4 mi. mph 94.12
2nd Run :
Audi A6 4.2 / Me
+.581 Reaction +.511
2.494 60 ft. 2.437
6.784 330 ft. 6.324
10.246 1/8 mi. e.t. 9.467
71.86 1/8 mi. mph 78.09
13.185 1000 ft. e.t. 12.097
15.688 1/4 mi. e.t. 14.409
89.14 1/4 mi. mph 97.97
So i'll let you pros analyze the #s. What i figure is that for my first time i improved alot on only one run. Mattg was a huge help between runs and his coaching helped me shave off .522 !! The key was lowering the tire pressure on the 2nd run, but i know my 60 ft. killed me. Also, i checked NHRA and the adjustment for this track to sea level is .3 - .4, so i'm darn close to 14.0 @100 with a horrible 60 ft. By the way, it was cool kicking that Audis butt, i thought it might have been a 3.0 but i met the guy after and he said 4.2 but no mods. Man the SC was really starting to pull at the end of the run, i wish it was a 1/2 miler
Any comments are appreciated. I will practice this winter in Sacramento at sea level and i expect to be in the 13s

Red, We all went up to see your run with the Audi, it was awsome!! Next time with some drag tires, you will be in the 13's for sure!!
Hopefully I will get my camara back by tonight so I can post the only pictures with Ryan's trophy at the drag strip.

Haha, I did that too. I did it because I was in the right lane and it was dark at the end of the track, plus I was in front of the car on the left lane.

It's all good. We were just laughin a bit because there was no one else near you guys on the track. But I commend you guys obeying the traffic laws!
Besides, I can't talk crap anyway since I didn't even run.

where do you go to get the nhra conversions??
decent time for your first time at the track, if you run the car at a sea level track and get a 2.0-2.2ish 60 foots i think u can get under a 13.5

if the goddamn SoCal people could commit to something, we could probably have the meet at Pismo Beach and party in San Luis Obispo (since it's a college town)
i've gone to several North vs. South meets with another car club, and we've had over 100 cars both years (in Pismo)
