That is one good looking IS. I've always loved silver isx50s... IMO, those 09-10 gfx lips look so better than the 06-08 ones.

I'm so jealous you got those awesome pics Kelly. I knew I should have raced from the inside lane.

This was my first time at a drag strip. I did 3 races at the Pursuit and won all of them. The first race was against a Toyota Tundra, and the other two were against other IS350s. My times weren't that good though. Best times are in bold:
Reaction Time / 60 ft. / 1/8th / MPH
0.441 / 2.379 / 9.630 / 57.5 (I hit the brakes too soon lol)
0.755 / 2.090 / 8.857 / 81.19
0.683 / 2.280 / 9.122 / 81.17

Damn, should have let me known you were going to the Pursuit 3! (Even though you don't know me haha)

I live up in Santa Barbara too, I've been seeing a matte black IS cruising around, you guys know each other?

8.857 is actually very good for an IS350 with a full interior, and no headers/SC. It's no wonder you won your races.
