went to the drag strip for the first time yesterday.
All I can say is weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. 
About to start going down more often. Unfortunately there was 1 crash, and one oil spill which took forever to clean up and I only got 2 runs in. One was against a 10s Mustang.... which i beat. LOL jk jk. And my second run was against a Sentra which I beat with my 300 lb buddy in the passenger seat. my times were pretty bad. Best time was a 16.035 @ 85.53 with a .222 R/T. Messed up 2 shifts so I could definitely get into the 15's. I'm gonna try and go this Wednesday again.

why would you race with someone in the car?
extra weight= slower time
I loved racing with my focus. i learned the tree really well. but the clutch got warm. bracket racing is good practice. you'll get addicted. but i havent raced since 2003.
my best time was a 16.2. i made it to a semi final in a import vs. domestic race but lost to a CRX DelSol. I was late on the tree.
