    Going drag racing tonight....

    ....for the first time with the Marauder. Gainesville Raceway, Test and Tune with a 1/4 mi Gamblers bracket race I will be entering.

    Stock car with a K&N cold air intake and a Marty-O tune. Street BFG's.

    Will be 84 degrees with 70% humidity at 7:00 pm at the track with an 8:33 pm sunset.

    Anyone want to guess my best pass?

    Who ever gets closest wins absolutely nothing!

    Oh yea, and the car has 160,000 miles. Hope she can make it a 1/4 mile, WOT!

    My guess is 14.79 any guesses?

    When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.

    Best run...14.85. I'll post time slip pic in the morning.

    Car is faster than that. Had to still be in the 90's and humid as hell at 7:02pm.

    Entered the gamblers 1/8th mile bracket race and red lighted - .036 first round.

    Would have won if I hadn't of red lighted. Knew I had to have a good reaction time because I raced the same guy earlier. He had a .013 but broke out.

    Did you account for driver weight?
