Local racing forum had a thread like this, turned out pretty cool. So, for those of you who have been racing, you certainly remember your first trip to the track. What was it like? What ETs did you run? Any cool memories? I'll go first.
It was November 2006, less than a week after I turned 16 at Outer Banks Speedway in NC. I was driving the 98 GT still in my sig now. 100% bone stock. It ran 9.73 at 72.something. Slow as hell. Still got the timeslips from that night somewhere. I still remember being scared as hell right before each pass I made, haha.
There was another guy there (now close friend) who had a turbo Jetta, gas motor. We literally ran the exact same ETs and traps. Only difference was the RT. So we'd run door to door all night long, only difference was the reaction. We'd make a several dozen runs on any given night. It really was more fun back then. Door-to-door racing, even if it's at extremely slow ETs, is still ridiculously fun. I've got somewhere in the neighborhood of 750 passes since then, all in the same car.
Whatcha got?
