First time at the track !

Went to the track this weekend and won the heads up outlaw class on street tires .
I was running kumho 295/35/18 mx street tires.
Had to be pretty gentle with the throttle, can't wait to throw on some drag radials.
Here's a qualifying run :

Going back to the track this weekend with drag radials and a wet 65 shot of nitrous (for good luck ). And bringing a trailer, I'm still on the stock 10 bolt.

Nice MPH!

How bad was your 60ft and what was your 1/8th et and MPH?

Post up when you run again.

12.3 @ 128? You need some traction, buddy! But you knew that.

With nitrous and slicks, you should break into the 11's, and they're going to make you get a roll cage.

Re: First time at the track !

Did you make it back with the DR's and 65shot?

What gear are you running?

Nope, I ended up working while the street legals were on.
I have a wedding to attend this weekend and it's getting pretty cold around here already, probably won't happen this year .
I'm running 3:73s, had to shift to 5th before the end of the quarter on one of the runs .
