Leaving to go to Lebanon Valley Dragway with some local buddies right now. It's my first time going to a track but I practiced launching last night and I have a pretty good grasp on it. 225/45/17 Falken Azenis should help a bit on the concrete...hopefully lol....I still roast 1st and 2nd like nothing so I have to take it easy. I'll post up vids, pics and a timeslip later today!!

shut it Rob :lol:

I think I did a pretty good job for my first time at the track. Each run got better. I started at a 14.6 @ 101 and a 60ft of like, 2.6...by the fourth run I got down to 14.3 @ 103 with a 2.4 60ft.....moral of the story is that I definitely need stickier tires :lol:. If I can hook up with some radials or something and drop my 60ft time to 2.0-2.2 I'll be deep in the 13's. I just need to get into 3rd faster and get a better sling shot out of the first two gears.

I'm not disappointed at all, but I need to practice :lol:

"Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." - Abe Lincoln

Best run was a 14.005, but I don't think he trapped over 100 on any of his passes. I never ran under 101mph :D

Yeah that's Agron's S4. He took the downpipes off on saturday before we loaded the trailer....seemed to fall on it's face after every upshift but the top end was stronger.....his best time was a 12.0 @ 118. He did a good job too for his first time at a track. He's actually tuning it with that Marc guy tonight...more bost, plus meth :D

Thanks buddy! I'm getting some drag radials, I need that 60' dropped a few tenths. Might turn up the boost a little bit too, 18-20psi or something instead of 15. But for a full weight car with street tires I think it's pretty respectable lol.
