[QUOTE]Originally posted by TheBrain: [QB] Well, like most of you said, my car's retirement wouldn't last forever. This past weekend, I ran up in Redding in the street class (Left the slicks at home to take it easy on the car) Running on my regular street tires I ran a best of 12.97 @ 107.36 mph w/2.08 60ft The track was slick as hell and I had to shift into 2nd gear very carefully (speedshifting resulted in massive tire spin and looking out the side window to see where I was going in 2nd) The best part is that after being "retired" for about 8 months, my reaction times were in the .5xx's with a best of .510 :eek: Dialing a 13.15 (in case of wheelspin) and slamming the brakes at the end. I was able to not only make it to the final round, but won the class when the other guy red lit :dance: :dance: I got my first ever drag racing trophy and an $88 check for first place :D There were only 14 cars in the class which is why the payout was so low, But I beat the track's points leader (and last year's track champion) and the guys in 2nd and 3rd in the points too :D Looks like I am going to be back in the game REAL SOON !!!!!! Thanks for listening Brian [/QB][/QUOTE]
