Hit the track (1st time this year)

[QWK SVT]

Finally, the weather here has turned nice, just in time for the weekend. So nice, I decided to go racing Saturday... Other than my first run (right of the road, and onto the track) I was pretty consistent:

15.006 @ 93.73
14.878 @ 94.30
14.922 @ 94.14
14.838 @ 95.13
14.883 @ 94.89

Not bad, considering I'm 100% bone stock. No modifications, no weight reduction - nothing.

I'm officially giving up on quickest stock Marauder - Goodies are going to start coming my way, soon :cool: I'd like to try to hit 14.3 - 14.5, without gears (just a silly personal challenge - wanna see if I can do it)

Congrats! You've done what I'll be doing in the next couple of months. Hopefully I'll be close to those numbers. :beer:

Nothing silly about your personal challenge. My car ran 14.4xx's and consistent 14.5's on just a flash, no other mods....carry on and keep us posted.:D

That should be no problem.Since you guys race down hill with a tailwind on a short track:lol: :lol:
125 shot would by pass fourteens altogether.:D
Good luck on your quest Big Man:bows:

Congrats, nice numbers.Yeah... I've never bracket raced the car, but I've noticed it's very consistent. With a 1/2 hour cooldown, the standard deviation for any given day's ET is usually in the 0.05 range. It's almost like that one jerk that has his 1970-something pickup loaded to the brim, and runs consistent 22.15's time and time again. :D

The last time I went bracket racing (in the truck), I broke out by 0.004 in the first round. The time before that (also in the truck), I broke out by 0.06. I either have poor judgement, or bad luck when it comes to bracket racing.:depress:
