As posted on SVTP, I was there in my 04 silver Cobra coupe d/d. I made five passes before my pro 5.0 shifter gave me a scare that I broke my tranny. Fixed the pro 5.0, tranny works fine, in the market for MGW now.
 
I went to the cruise and drag strip Friday and I spectated today, but didn't show. I've had a long 4-day weekend that started on Thursday with Ozzfest and was too exhausted to clean up the car to show-worthiness for today.
 
I ran 12.685 @ 114.23 mph for my best run, with a passenger and 3/4 of a tank of gas and street tires. I went 3/5...one loss was when I couldn't get any traction after the sun came out and the other guy had a 0.6 second jump on me in the 60 ft, which I cut down to < 0.5 by the 1/4. Second loss was a redlight, but my ET was faster than the other guy's.
 
I was there with my 06 Red Fire GT. Ran a 14.02 @ 99.2 mph. It was also my first time out at a track. I had a blast out there with all them Stangs. Besides, I was loving that the MC in the tower, was getting sick of saying Mustang in the left. Mustang on the right. Mustangs everywhere!:nice:

The handlers let you take a passenger in a 12 second car???!!!
 
Yea. No helmets, roll bar requirements for verts ... it was crazy.:shrug:

That would have been a great day to make some full out passes in my car without a bar.

I brought my helmet to have someone borrow it as I wasn't going to be racing.

Wow! No rules!! The irony is that the lack of traction would preclude any sub 11.49passes anyway. Sounds like drivers had a great time and that's what matters. Will that track be open again this year?

Just as a warning Tyler, I have now been warned by both tracks... I may be racing my truck next time.
 
I was there in our 07 GT.

Tree'd a 99 Cobra but red lighted...........0.01 light :( The Cobra ran a 14.177 @ 100.69 with RT of 0.378

Best time was 14.16 @ 95.76 with a RT of 0.120, 2.13 60'

Not bad for a auto car fully loaded and STOCK :)

Can you say a 13.8 car in cooler weather ???

Good times..........

That would be me :nice:

I got that run on video with my passenger, but we were wondering why you were braking at the end?
 
It's still fun getting the car up to 100MPH in a legal manner :D

I am blessed with a drop in K&N filter and a weld in straight pipe. All else is stock. I'm also blessed with wheel hop launching and every shift for the entire day :( I'll have to redo my suspension before I head back down again. 100k miles of abuse has taken its toll...
