Have a great day, after I got the hang of it, my best time was 13.2 @ 112.78 MPH...

Yeah Phil "Snapped" under the pressure of going against Jim's ZR-1. We couldn't talk Phil into doing one more run once he got the spindle swapped out

. Pics and video are will be uploaded shortly.

Can't get the video uploaded, site giving me a security token error message, not sure what's up with that. I'll keep trying.

It was a great day at the drag strip. We got to make as many runs as we wanted. Nice people and nicely run track. I highly recommend Mason-Dixon Drag Strip for racing.

Thanks the the Mustang club and the NVCC for putting the event together.

My best time was a 12.9 at 111mph. Not as fast as last month at BG. I was able to get a data recording of one run and I have some issues to work on.

Phil's car was amazing. He got better on each run. It was awesome to witness his thorough preparation. He had the rear spindle replaced in less that two hours. Good job Phil. But what part are you going to carry with you the next time you go to the track?

Thanks for posting the pics Rich. It was a pleasure racing and hanging out with you.

PS

I have never worked on a car as clean as Phil's. It was a pleasure to assist the Master.

That's a strong trap speed, what is done to your car?

I just got the car in Feb, and outside of a Hailbeck chip and Borla exhaust, it's bone stock...not even headers...but they are on my list. I have never raced before and had a tough time getting the tires to hook up...spinning a lot off the line. My times got better as the day went on and Jim had me drop my tire pressure which helped. I did 10 runs and went from 14.5 to 13.2, I was really hoping to get under 13, but couldn't hit that mark...maybe next time. All and all, it was a blast, thanks to Jim and Phil for showing me the ropes

Jim, Phil and Rich in the pits.
As you can see weather was absolutely gorgeous.

Rich about to feast on some horse.

Phil putting some heat in the hides.

Jim and Phil going "mono a mono" on the last run of the day.

Phil paying for his sins against the the C4 rear spindle gods with a helping hand from Jim.
