Well this past friday was the last friday night test and tune at richmond dragway. Joking with jen earlier in the week i mentioned it to her about me taking her car there since it was the last night. Well she said sure, and i was shocked but ran with it lol. Got there early to let the car cool down and first pass of the night it went 11.71@120 then let it sit for 3 hours with icing down the blower and on the 2nd pass pulled a 1.79 60ft and squeezed out a 11.47@123! Went straight back in the pits and hot laped it since the lanes were about to close so the car was hot and didnt pull that great of a 60ft but went 11.79@119 heres a few videos

When I went to Richmond I was able to drive around the water box. When did you go there?

rudy, it was about a month ago. the guy sprayed the water all the way across the track and told us guys with street tires we were wasting our time.

Great vid Eddie. It's a shame you were running a noisy car. I would have really liked to hear how Jen's sounded through the gears.

It was on nitto drag radials, they are on the car all the time. On drag radial without much side wall you need to ease off the clutch to were it almost boggs down so it doesn't spin so bad. It can't take the shock of a clutch dump like a slick or a drag radial with a lot of sidewall. So I was launching around 2500-3000. I would always just spin the tires over in the water then pull up infront of it and do my burnout there

Too bad I can't tell if you're joking on AIM! Oh well! At least I get to see my car doing something

Hopefully I have some tread left on my tires so I can drive it when I come home in December!
