New persosal best mph (1/4 mile)

Went to the track last night and it was cold as hell. I mean it almost started snowing. I'm sure the cold aided in my crossing the line at 110mph. That and a lil weight reduction and 1200psi bottle pressure. Since they don't run the clocks on friday nights, I'm not sure what time I ran, but it's gotta be better than 13.6!!!

It's not so bad. It only costs $6 to race from 9pm to 2am and you get as many runs as you can stand. They don't even use the tree. You have a group of guys who pretty much run the whole thing. 2 guys direct traffic from the staging lines to the burn pit. 1 guy waves the races from the burn pit to the line and a guy at the line starts the race. It's all sponsored by the city and some local shops and a radio station. It was set up to keep people from street racing on Friday nights. Plus, it's better than paying $30 to race on a Saturday and risk only gettin a couple runs if you get eliminated.

I'm a lil skeptical about this cause it seems to good to be true, so I'll probably be goin to the track on Saturday to get some actual times.
