First Time 2 Track in 23 Yrs

[Peaky85]

Went to the Muncie Indiana Dragway for their Wednesday night test and tune, have not been to a track since 1986-87. I managed to get in 5 passes, below is a copy of my times, I had fun, which is all that matters. Other than the obvious sleeping at the line, poor 60's, I had issue with the 1 tire burnout.

r/t = .511 .134 .205 .234 .414
60' = 2.025 2.238 2.232 2.082 2.087
1/8= 8.760 9.123 9.108 8.825 8.847
1/4 = 13.525 13.925 13.912 13.579 13.626
MPH = 103.08 102.57 102.44 103.34 102.75

You didn't have a heart attack going down the track...I'd say you had a great day overall...

Just goes to show, age doesn't matter!!! Yeah, it's a new-found fun thing to do.
Like I've been told: I may be a Grandfather, but I drive with the heart of a 20 year old!

Have fun, enjoy life!!! Getting to the track once in awhile really helps

Not to HiJack my own thread, but, whats the hot ticket for the suspention? Is adjustable lowers preferable to the adj upper or vice versa? Relocation brackets, a must or not, steeda ultralites and a adj panhard bar are my suspention mods to this point. I can see 4.10-4.30 gears after sorting the susp. thing out, and some sticky shoes too. Any more ideas ... greatly appreciated.

I had a great time. There was 3 other GTs there that caught my eye, all were 5 speed cars and none broke 14.0, the worst was a Shelby running 14.50's.(no idea how to drive his car) They run a trophy race around 9pm, I got mesmerized by the others lanes light coming down and slept to a .441 reaction time and got beat right off the bat. LOL still it was a blast after all these years. My friend managed 12.6's (all nite) on my old Harley Road Glide that he bought off me a couple of yrs back. Great Fun !!!
