No, didn't make it... but I will be at Hagerstown tommorrow, Mason-Dixon Dragway in the AM for some NVMC test and tune.

I think they may have a few slots open, it's limited to 50 cars, 8am-12pm. $10 to spectate, I think $40-45 at the door to race. I pre-registered.


How'd tonight go for you at Capitol though?

I got tied up doing things with the family. I am going to try and make it out next Friday though. Need to see where I'm at now with a "stockwise" exhaust system, k&n intake and tuner. I'm hoping for the 14.3's or lower now cause I ran a 14.62 with just a k&n drop-in and side pipe exhaust.

I finally got the stall in a and name a couple of passes. The foist one was in the heat and pulled off a 14.4 at 95. The second...with a cooler car ran a 14.2 at the same speed. That is a 4 tenths of a second improvement with the stall. I think I was spinning a little off the line but I am not for sure. Good day though. Pleased with the results.

That sounds great! If you're spinning the next upgrade may be some steel rims and drag radials... :)

I'd comment on mine - which I shoulda run today, but I can't. I got my Mickey Thompson DR's, and they're mounted on the CVPI rims I got through Joe and his friend Chris.

Drove to Hagerstown today for Mustang Club drag day 8am-12pm. Got to the track at 730am (left my house at 0620 in a fully stocked Marauder, jack, tools, DR's, chairs, cooler, drinks, etc), got in, did tech and swapped out my street tires. Was ready to go but no one staging.

We learned that the track equipment was damaged in the storms earlier in the week. Apparently a power surge had damaged the computers and timing equipment.

By 10am they were still not up so the event was called off. The track officials were no doubt scrambling to fix things, not necessarily for our track rental 'til noon, but for the large planned race event starting at noon.

So, no racing for me today. :(

Mark,

I figure the exhaust and a set of DRs and I might be close but not on top. I will have to enter a show or two to see if I can catch one of them shiney plates for at least looking good. I am on the hunt.
