Fun at the drags

[boxhead]

We had a headlight night meeting for the local drag club tonight.

While the sun was still up they ran a "test & Tune" session over the full 1/4 mile.
I managed a best run as follows.
Reaction time - .328
60ft - 2.056 et
1/8 - 8.259 et
1/8 - 87.63 mph
1/4 - 12.789 et
1/4 - 108.64 mph
I did this in full street trim, 3/4 tank of fuel and normal road tyres.

Then after the sun went down they set it all up for the night running
Night time was 1/8 only and run as a dial your own bracket format.
Had an absolute blast.
After doing 6 runs over the 1/4 mile, I had a pretty consistant 8.3 for the 1/8, so set that as my dial time.
Last run for the night I had to run an XU1 torana.
His time was set at 10.00 and as I said, mine was set at 8.3.
Watching him take off and leave before my light had even started was not easy, but I managed.
I pulled a 0.036 reaction time to his .104
I tried to stay calm with smooth gear shifts and keeping of the limiter.
And could see I was slowly reeling him in, but I could also see the finish line approaching.

In the end it was like this.

Me ______________ him
.036_____ r/t _____ .104
2.037 ___ 60ft ____ 2.304
8.306 ___ 1/8 ____ 10.375
88.23 ___ mph _____ 59.42

Which made it a win for me

I think I am hooked.
