Finally took the mark down the drag strip!

[Mk007]

Had an AWESOME time!! Lost of cool cars, saw one other Mark there that had more mods but was running slower then me....

Also got her onto the scale and she weighs 3,796 with me in it.:shifty:

I'll let the slips speak for themselves....posting in order of the runs made.

run #1 no passenger

run #2 no passenger

run #3 with female passenger

run #4 with male passenger

run #5 with a hard launch and lots of wheel spin....hence the TERRIBLE 60 foot time

Nevermind I see it was at Lebanon... so NY LOL

see how important the first 60 feet are?

your first run was very good even with a crappy 60ft good job

when you got it down ibto the 2.20 range your in the ball park of a normal 60 foot for a basicly stock mark

SO...good job, work on getting a good consistant 60 foot and your cars gonna run well
not bad for a first time out

Also, the one that I actually won was against a Mustang that actually ran a better time. I beat him SOLELY on reaction time.
