Took my car to the track. I was itching to take it since I used to race my Sunbird.

My first run was a 15.47 at 88.06mph w/ a 2.276 60ft

My second run was a 15.440 at 88.19 w/ a 2.250 60ft

...I let the car cool down for 30mins.

My 3rd run was 15.397 at 88.08mph w/ a 2.254 60ft

I wasn't expecting this at all...I'm very pleased.


I met alot of other Grand Am people too...everyone was very nice. I couldn't stick around for long.

You got exhaust too...right?

You can get into the 14's with the right 60ft.

Jason, do you go a lot? I don't even know where that is....and I hate to admit it, I've never done a run. We should go sometime, it would be fun.

oh man, we definitely need to go sometime then. its about an hour north of here, not too bad of a drive. I've only taken my car once (been there a dozen times before though watching my uncle race), but I learned a lot driving it down the track just a few times. Its also a ton of fun just seeing what your car can do. I'll check my work schedule tomorrow and see if I'm avaliable next sunday.

Saturday night eh? I hear they are calling for rain.

I'll see what's up and if everything looks clear I'll see you all up there.
