OK I TOTALLY suck at the drags. lol Well let me start by keeping it on topic. There were about 12 Classic Mopars, a really mean 64ish Valiant that did 11.2, a 69 Charger that was one of the meanest cars I've ever seen, but I don't know what it ran. A vega wagon that most days wins so I was told. But in our group the meanest car was a 2006 Chrysler 300 with a 426 (Nick has that I think) and ran 10.1 10.2 it sure was a fun sleeper.
Now me.....Ugh I'm embarrassed. I never knew the skill at the drag races. My first run....ever... was 14.617 my charger should have done 13.5ish. But I was late off the line.764 and the top speed for the 1/4 mile was 94.mph OK, so I thought I would do better the next time around.....now that I saw how it works....wrong! time 14.717 R/t .866 top speed 95.68. I can't seem to get the lag from the pedal, my brain and the light right...yet.
I always thought drag cars were just more noise than go. I've always loved the motor, and many of the cars but I didn't really appreciated the skills and timing from the driver. I saw a mean 69 Chevelle I think, do 15.6 because of the driver.
I had a blast with my modern mopar car guys. It was lots of fun, and I will go back...after a bit more practice, and maybe an upgrade or two. It sure was nice to spend most of my day with car guys again, even if I sucked at the drags, and I'm a bit shy around new people. I gotta learn sometime. :)
