    Hit the track (1st time this year)

    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 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.

    Congratulations on your times. 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.

    Question What kind of goodies?

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

    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.

    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.
