Default My first 1/4 mile runs

Went to a meeting in Belgium last saturday, drove my first 1/4 mile there . Was a great experiance although it rained a bit, i know i'm going to do this more often.

My first race stinked , the lights went on really quick, i was looking away for a sec, and when i looked back, the other car had already left.

another run:

Did 4 runs, my best was a 15.34 on grooved slicks, guess i could do a bit better if i had more traction.

Here a pic of my daily driver, complete with the dents, ugly *** rust repair and slicks


Me behind bars, where i could have been that day, lol. On the way to the track, the Belgium cops cought me speeding on a parking lot, had no driving licence or papers with me... not a smart thing to do when you leave your own country. Luckily they had a good mood, so only got a 25 Euro fine.


Those who stayed for the weekend put up their tents.


Talk about rice, an airfilter that looks like an intercooler.

Don't know the codec type, just install Nimo50 and it should run.

Nimo50, is that a media player like windows media player or a codec?
I am at work and cannot be installing programs.

@ Jeff,

It was a weekend event, i only was there on saturday, for some weird reason they gave the time slips on sunday

So i only know the 1/4 mile time . But i guess i will do more runs in the near future, at decent tracks.
