Default So I was at the drag strip on Monday...



This was on Monday At Maryland International Raceway in Eastern Md with the 6speedonline guys.

Don't ask about big MPH or crazy low times... I about pooped when this happened and instantly lifted... got a 12.4 at 117 w/ 2.19 60 ft. time.

I was on my Pirelli Pzeros that were set at 40PSI. On a side note, my rear lugstuds are toast. Took 150#ft. torque to break them loose tonight while track prepping it for this Friday at Summit Point...

Mike,

Sounds like fun.

A few of us 6 speeders/Rennlisters went out to the strip here on Friday night and between our higher elevation and in general poor conditions to get great times we all turned between 12.7 - 12.9 times. Well except for Alex in his crazy *** vette. Not sure what his numbers were but they were very fast. And man is that car loud. I think it's got straight pipes. Anyway, none of us know what we are doing and just went to have a good time.

We had a ball though...

I did a 12.7xx at 118.9 MPH as my best run.

Wow Mike, you got air under the fronts. How did you do compared to my friend Mario in his red GT2 ?

Yup, I'm still AWD. I'm an HPDE track guy, not a drag racer. This was a total fluke and I couldn't do it again if my life depended on it...

what do you mean by toast? What happened? and is it related to the drag strip runs?
