First off the track was the worst I've ever seen it for traction! I am no rookie to the track either. The stageing lanes were soaked with water and puddles. I had my jeep all cleaned up to show it off and just driving throught the staging lanes I had water and sand sprayed all over my fenders and up around the wheel wells. The starting line was horrible I am sure do to all the water and sand people wear bring up to it from the staging lanes. My first pass I just put it in autostick ESP off and rugged it from an idle. It spun so bad I lifted because I thought I was going to break something! I can rugg it from a dead stop on the street no problem! The track sucked. Rolling offf the line from an idle I got a 1.88 60ft. 8.2 1/8th and a 12.87@105 MPH.
A BMW was spinning bad and didn't lift. He spun out and tapped the wall backwards! There was a ZR1 there that at 3/4 track was peadling it to try and catch traction! It ran a 13.8 trying to make it to the finish line.

Nice run even though the track was in bad shape. I'm looking forward to going up there this year.

Thanks! I beat that 2010 Ford Tauras SHO I've battling with by .04 he run a 12.91@104. It is quick for a new SHO. I heard a couple of other SHO guys there saying it must be one of the quickist. I don't how'd they'd know for sure.

When I was up there at the end of last season some guy in a new red sho was there. He was with some other sho owner who had a black one from the late 90's with the 3.4 v8. I wonder if it was them?

Yeah I remember Bill as he had a Silver Jeep with a 426, that I believe he bought from Junior666.

Ya I beat him but not by much! I am sure he's got something up his sleeve to change the outcome. Maybe a nitrous shot. I don't know he isn't going to tell me thats for sure!
