new England Dragway, 8-22

Well, aside form my '95 T5, Justin was there with his S70 and there was one other kid with a GLT who didn't run...only spoke to him for a sec.

It was damn hot (95°) when I arrived. I have to say, this being my first Auto at the drags, I was impressed with how hard it is to launch an auto LOL!

Seemed I was either bogging (2.3 60' time) or spinning (2.7 !!) Best time, while spinning was 14.9. I was happy with that considering the car is stock aside from the MBC. Had it been a bit cooler I'd have done better but the real culprit here was me, not the weather or the car or the all season Fuzion HRis LOL. the near-95mph trap speads tell me I have a 14.7 or 8 in there. Maybe dropping the tires down to 23 or 24psi would help as I left them near 32 (initially I figured, ****, I'm not spinning, no need to drop the pressure LOL).

Anyhow...my brother's bone stock 300C clicked off several 14.3 runs (weighed in at 4300#s with him in it LOL!) so he won our bet LOL.

Yeah, lots of fun...nice to see my brother's 300c click off several 14.3's even weighing in so heavy...he's 250#s, had his golf clubs in the trunk etc LOL. We did a few pulls on the way home and I was astonished at how quick it is 75 to 100 as well.
