Running F1 Supercars at 18lbs and the bet I could muster was a 2.0.

Allright...now that I am trying to figure all this out, I got my tickets out. I averaged 2.05 60' times. I assume in drag racing, EVERYTHING is supposed to be lower (except for the mph)?

:lol: Fortuneately for me she drove up from Shreveport, LA with Bob "Violater" Moss. I drove over from Knoxville, TN with the Smoky Mountain Cruiser's. I had plenty of trunk space! :lolg:

We realy enjoyed ourselves that day just "running and gunning". Now I think I need to learn a little about the sport....going to an 1/8 mile track tonight with the SMC "gang". I think they got hooked too.

Got all my tickets out and lined them up to look at all my average times. :thumbs:

Hi ALLTHROTTLE&NOBOTTLE -

I was 2.2n on all but one run - 2.193.

I was exploiting my patented "dump the clutch and mash the throttle" technique on F1's with 30lbs in the rears.

:D

My car is embarrased to be seen with me in front of you folks...but it had better get over it!

best regards -

mqqn
