Ah yeah, ok.

 

A win's a win. What happened to that integra? Thought my reaction time was slow!

Good looking car you've got!!

 

That was a pointless matchup.

What kind of times did you run?

 

did he ever finish?

 

It was my first time at the drag strip I did 3 runs, 2 were pathetic 14.2's due to alot of factors of my inexperience and etc, this one was the best at 13.3. I was just very nervous, was experimenting launch's and etc. Im happy with a 13.3 that run for my first time there!

 

No worries there....most of us would do the same.

I have yet to go to a dragstrip myself (to compete) but I distinctly remember nearly soiling my trousers at the starting line at my first autocross event. It's a lot of pressure and there are a lot of variables.

Sounds like you were already settling in...you'll be faster next time!

 

Looks like you had fun!

FWIW, if anyone has ever driven one of those Integra Type-Rs... they are super fun! Slow, but fun.

 

Been there once a couple of years back.
Good time!

You'll get better with practice...no worries.

 

was that a snowmobile i saw rolling by the camera at the end of the vid?

 

Yep...racing sled...

Fast little things

 

Yes those were racing snowmobiles! Try ran high 7 seconds if I remember correctly. Insanly fast things

 

i was a bit surprised you know considering the lack of uh... snow

 

They throw snow on the track just before their runs,
it gets swept off/melts before the cars come out.

 

ha really?, that actually sounds pretty cool

 

Lmfao. Yes they have a huge snow machine on the staging area and blanket the strip all melts and dries off as soon as they run hahahah

 

this forum should arrange to make this happen, stangs vs snowmoblie and we can fill up a 1/4 mile water tank and run a jet ski as well

 

Nice fart can, lol! You probably could have started in 3rd and still would have won.

 

I only have respect for evo's here is one almost beating me, **** 4wd lol
