We went to the ¼ mile drag strip with a couple of friends Sunday, April the 30th.

This was the first time I raced my black Tiburon, i.e. the one I built after my accident.

And my second time at the track, mind you. wink1.gif

The best I could do was 15.837s @ 89.282MPH. Had only time for a couple of runs before my starter motor passed away. I'll be going again soon to improve my launches and hopefully do a better time.

Here are some pics.

Can't see the pictures because I'm at school, but I'm guessin your 60 foots are a little off. Your MPH times are good enough for like 15.3 or so.

The other black one is Pascoile, the silver one is SilverTib - I don't think he's here though.

My 60' averaged 2.4-2.5s. I have to work on my launches, as Pascoile taught me. I kept spinning the wheels in 1st.

My 15.8 run didn't show the 60' however, but I guess it was better than 2.4s.
