Meteorite

Last night I ventured out to Milan Dragway with the Marauder, to test out the effect of the 4.10 gears and tuning by Lidio. My previous best was a 15.12 ET.
I was fairly pleased with the results: 14.557 seconds, 95.53 mph.
(My 60-foot times still seem slow, though. My '63 Meteor used to run 1.9 60-foot times.)
Even more fun was had in the final 2 (of 11) runs, in which I "spanked" a Pontiac GTP, first from the right lane, then from the left.
