Well this weekend i finally got to go to the track. I was pump up all the way there. I got my new tires a few days earlier so i could pass the tech. I get there and the tech guy didnt even look at anything on my car just ask me if it was stock. So i get the tech done and park and let it cool off and watch the other cars for about a hour till i just couldnt stand itanymore. It was time for me and my baby to go to battle. So i start it up Make sure my seat belt is on. I check that off the list. Turn off the traction contol and the o/d. Put it in gear and stoped. Got out of the car to put my XM Radio Antenna down cause it could cause some air drag. LOL! Get back in the car and head for the light. I turn off the radio and double check to make sure everything was off. So im waiting to make my pass. And there was a mustang about a 96 model with a girl in it. And im like great im going to lose to a girl with my buddy watching. So it was our turn and i go around the burnout box and do a little burn out and pull up to the staging beams. And i thought i was never going to find that beam. By now im nervous and my left leg is shaking on the brake and my right is doing the same. But i got it stage and im waiting for the tree and all of a sudden a feeling came over me and goose bumps raise on my arms. And i thought to my self i can do this I have a CDL driver license and i can 18 wheeler around town weighing 90,000 i can do this. So the light starts to go down YELLOW, YELLOW, YELLOW,GREEN! GO!!!!!!!!! The mustang take me on the light but im hanging with girl im at her rear fender and holding then about 50mph. IM pulling her and pulling her fast were half way down the track and im out in FRONT. Im so happy that im not losing in front of my buddy. IM about 4 or 5 car lenghts ahead of her when we finish im like yeah that was a 14 sec pass i was like John Force. I know that was a high 14 sec pass i smoke that mustang. So i pull to the little shed where they give you your timeslip. Im like thank you sir and drive off and park real quick cause it was night and i couldnt see what my timp slip said. But i knew it was high to mid 14. So i turn on the dome light and I said WTF 15.5 no way i even look to make sure this one was my SOB, it is. So there you have it folks my first trip to the track and it wont be my last. It time for the MODS!
