Default Took the xB down the 1/8mile...

Went out to shoot some photos at a local 1/8th mile track and ended up getting talked into racing the box down the track....all in good fun..haha..

I have bone stock AT PW box....here is what I did at 4400ft above sea level...

R/t - 0.615 (.5 light)
60ft - 2.848
1/8 - 12.474
mph - 57.2mph...

Ran about that all night...bracket racing car for sure...going to compete in Import Series at our local 1/4 mile track for fun...see how far up in the points I can get, last year in my Saturn I was highest of 2nd and finished in 8th place....so maybe this year I can win with the box...

here is a pic of the car at the track...


for the rest of the pics I took, check out....

LOL, that is awesome. Grag racing a box. "We don't need no skinkin' aerodynamics.......or power." Haha. Nice job man. Descent reaction time and the 60 foot time doesn't seem too bad considering.
