Taking the MM tomorrow for first post-China virus run. S/B good weather. Wish me luck. Shooting for 11-something, 1/4, not the 1/8!

Ran 11.98 at 115. not bad for summertime. Do Marauder people no longer go to the drags? Used to be lots of drag talk.

Nice work! I'm also looking to be in the 11's when I make it to the track next :burnout:

I used to go multiple times a year. I finally had a break down in 2013 that cost me several hundred to get her home. This happened on a school night with the wife and three young kids and it was nearing 1 AM iIRC when we finally got in. It kind of killed my buzz I guess as I never even think about it anymore?

I even bought a tow rig and nice trailer immediately after so no excuse there. Just really no interest I guess. You should know that when I run my stuff (cars, bikes, dirt bikes, tools, wife, ETC) I have a mindset to push the limits and if by chance nothing broke then I didn’t push hard enough. Always looking for the weak link…

I’m finally to the age that I’m tired of breaking things, more so wrenching on the same vehicle probably so I have chosen to relax a bit more LOL Life’s been grand (mostly) for the last few years. [emoji481]

I used to go drag racing several times a year with the Marauder, or one of my Mustangs.
Now that the 2 closest tracks* to me have closed, I haven't gone anymore.

* Capital Raceway was 15 minutes from my house and they closed 2 years ago.
75-80 Dragway was 40 minutes from my house and they closed in 2005, reopened then closed again in 2013.
I ran my Marauder at their last night of racing back in 2005.

I did run my Fusion Sport at Capital in 2018 and it ran a 14.000 bone stock.
I wish that I had entered the 14 second class that day....heh heh heh
