Did you get a few interesting looks as you rolled up to the starting line?

The best car I've seen at a drag strip was a Town Car with an old lady driving and she was faster than quite a few people.

Very nice, My best on the 1/8th (haven't run 1/4 in too long) was a hair faster, with a slower 60'. (Hint: don't race with your worn out 20" tires at 40psi. slowtimes lol.)

Sleeping the night before also helps, especially with the R/T (0.000 perfect. My best was 0.169 this year ). Man pursuit was rough this year

next year will be faster

PD, next Pursuit put the stock 16's with the 225/60's on it. What was the time when you had the Supra wheels? I think you'll do a better time on the stocks or get some of those light SSR's that you lust over.

the supra wheels had tires that were both less sticky (all seasons) and too small. didn't help .

I should just bite the bullet and buy some sticky 15/16s.
