Default Darby's F at the drag strip

First day at the drag strip this season went ok, mid 11s. Over all had a good time, car runs like a champ.

Nice Pass. What tire setup are you using in the back?

Yea, 100 shot. Had some traction issues first couple runs and heat soaked the car a little. It was about 50 degrees f.
