Default first time at the strip - best times ever!!

ok guys here goes:

60-ft: 0.00
1/8: 0.00
1/4: 00.00@000mph.

damn it...I drove all the way to NH from Boston and as soon as we got to the strip it dumped a monsoon on our ***...that sucks. My R's virginity is intact for now. At least I got to meet TypeRmsm...but was weird to hear a fellow H-T member talk instead of seeing them type. Also saw that weird car called Pikachu's **** or whatever...surreal.

WOW, those times are impressive!! In order to get that 0.000 1/4 mile, your reaction time must have been only a nanosecond or two!!

LOL

I'm impressed they're damn good times, you should send them round some of the teams, you'd probably get a pro drive real easy

HAHA. That sucks man. I have been on those situations before though. It does the same thing in NC. A couple of times though it would be pouring at home and sunny at the strip though. I would hear about it the next day.

Well it was raining SO HARD that I was glad I had the Shitbox rather than the AEM because I definitely would have had to park it and wait all night to drive back home.

yeah the McDonald guy. it was the first thing I saw and I said "what the f*ck.." The guy driving it when the rain started was like 60 years old. Seriously though my first times are going to suck...my goal for the end of my first day at the strip (whenever that will be) is to run in the 15's. With decent technique and my Shitbox this should be relatively within reach, then with more practice I will eventually hit the 14's (I hope).
