Anyway, good job. Try a real "track" sometime!
its a tuning tool and is used to "see" gains for acceleration mods. much like a dyno but provides "real life numbers" that can only be achieved with the car in motion. it can be a track if your racing competatively on it. some of us are not fortunate enough to have a highspeed track near us(one in hawaii and it closed down and was also on another island) drag racing is the only legal racing here unless you want to go cone killing but they race in the "pits" where us drag racers park and its not much fun if you aint going fast

Thanks guys.

Yes, I broke a half shaft before, and I was so paranoid about breaking again. The last time I broke, it was on the launch.

Yes, I shifted into 4th on that run.

Nice run Fadi...you made the Viper look silly.

What was your 1/4 mile ET, and MPH? I couldn't read the timing slip before the video stopped.

That is awesome - 11.5 bone stock is rockin' - way to represent !
For someone who hates drag racing, you are obviously very good at it.

Actually, this type of comment seems both rude as well as a little self-centered.

Just because some drivers prefer the thrills of the dragstrip to the thrills of roadracing does not make one track a 'real' track and the other an imposter.
Your 'props' to the thread starter seem a bit ingenuine and almost patronizing.

Don't remember any threads where roadracers were congratulated for their lap times or wins only to follow up with a comment about how they should really get their car to the strip for a "real" race

Actually that comment to most people would seem very "tongue in cheek". Why don't you try taking yourself a little less seriously.

Don't think there was anything "tongue in cheek" about it. If you've got an opinion state it. If not, back off.

Thats your opinion, I just stated mine. I don't post on this board much, but I have been reading it for a long time. I've noticed that allot of your "opinions" are very acerbic when their rhetoric does not mirror your own. That's only my opinion.
