Got out for the first time tonite @ Great Lakes Dragaway .
This year makes 55 years the track has been open(without interruption)
No personal bests to brag about cause I was too lazy to remove my headlamp, MT my Trunk or let the gas get lower.
That fact, and the temps were a solid 50*and fair meant my best of the nite was 13.1@102 backed up by 13.2 W/ same trap.
Those were the only decent runs due to being rusty and tons of wheel spin.
I did have the best RT of .007, against a yellow Mustang 2004 with a Dohc 5.0L 5 sp .
He slept to a .446 RT and I held him off at the top end, him gaining on me.
His 13.0@105 was not enough to cross the stripe first with me 13.2 @102.
Nice guy, we talked a bunch after we raced.
1st thing out of his mouth;
He exclaimed, "Hey! I got the same motor as you!"
He had a Aviator block forged innards and Cobra worked heads.
he said his 8:1 and blower cams are begging for some F/I
I got crushed by a SS 454 P/U ran 12.8 to my 13.6 his truck sounded like thunder!!!
I beat a SS TrailBlazer that I saw later on going down the expressway ,
He couldn't take me from the top end either.
great times tonite!
