Default My First Drags!

Hey guys.

Im excited. I took my AU2 XR8 Auto to the drags last night my first time. Had a great time. Only have a Y-Pipe back single 2.5 exhaust with a lukey muffler, and a very dirty K&N Panel Filter and ran a 15.028 @ 93.36 mph. Also my best 60ft time was 2.335 seconds which is apparently good? I no nothing about 60foot times.

Was really mad because i wanted a 14.99 but kept getting wheel spin the rest of the night. Time i didnt spin it was when i got the flat 15. Next time hopefully its cold because it wasnt even cold. I notice my car flys on a cold night so i rekon it would get 14`s. See how we go next time! Maybe some avgas?

Get more practice and you'll get that 14 easy. Well done.
