READ THE FULL STORY...THEN WATCH THE VIDEO AT THE BOTTOM:


OK, so after I got back from the King of the Street Shootout,
I was itching to get back on the track and try my car out some more.

(Before the King of the Street, I hadn't been on a drag track since I was like 20 )

So I decided to drive to my local track, and see what the Cobra could do on some 275 Nitto Drag Radials......

I want to thank the fine men and women at NITTO Tire.

For making a 275 drag radial

So I jumped in my Car
Popped in a CD
Drove to the track
Waited the 1 hour and 16min. in Line
Got to the line
Heated the Nittos up a little bit.
Pulled up to the light
No trans brake, no High RPM stall. Just brought it up to like 1100rpm

Light turns green
Rolled onto the gas about 1/2 way in first gear.
Clicked it into 2nd, and let the hammer down
The nittos held the power.

And after clicking 3rd gear it was over.


It netted a 10.94@130



Got my slip, and was kindly asked to never ever do that again, with out a cage or fire suit. I was asked how fast I could go... and he said 11.49


So I let the car cool a little bit, while I watched other KCSR people make there runs of the night.

Got back in line.... and told myself not to run a 11.49 or quicker.



So I took the green and ran a...........

14.2@131.9

Picked up my time slip,
Got back in the car.... turned up the stereo.....

And drove home.




Thats the story of the "Dyno Queen" for tonight.
Thanks Clint, Josh, Lil Dee, Greg, and Todd's support tonight. It felt great to be around good friends at the track.
