Ran at the track along with Art and a couple other f-body folks on Saturday and had a great time. Was really amazed at the lack of traction on the stock Firehawk tires to go along with my lack of experience. Well, by the end of the day I did manage to run a 14.065 @ 101.94 on my bone stock vert. [Cool]

I was pretty happy with that for my first time out. Thanks to Art for the pointers and guidance. [Smile]

Drag racing is addictive. I would go each week if it could. Glad to hear that you had a great time! [Smile]

It was a lot of fun. I'm glad you made it out [Smile]

Dan ... I must be ... I don't think Bob staged with the back tires at all ... unlike some of us the first time in Milan [Big Grin]

Besides, you know the old rule "those that can't do, teach".

I have seen rear tire stage many times before. The driver wonders why the starter does not start the tree! LOL! [Big Grin]

Is that how you guys get those great 60' times? [Razz]

That is one way!I bet the top end mph and et would suffer due to the shorter track. [Big Grin]
