Dragstrip fun

Here are few vidoes from a visit to the drags earlier this year. I'm hoping to make it out to the drags again next weekend. If anyone is in the Albuquerque, NM area it gonna be another hot rod day at the strip
ALBUQUERQUE DRAGWAY @ MESA DEL SOL

I had a blast at the last one.

I think that Ross should join you.

That yellow truck didn't have enough punishment. He kept coming back for more! Go get 'em, "Ricky" Bobby!

LOL.....and 250 penguins

Those were vids from my last time out back in early summer. I had some reaction time issues....lol. I ranged from .4 to .8 on reaction times....ugh
My best E.T. was 15.4, I forget the MPH
I'm hoping to borrow a set of slicks for next weekend. I want to get into the 14's.
Heck, I think low 15's is pretty respectable for an ugly old brick of a truck with a bone stock 100,000+ mile Caddy engine in it.
