Trbotaxi hits the track after 2 years! 10.02 @ 147

Well it was a good attempt, I haven't driven this car down the track in over 2 years now and the last time I did it had 500 whp needless to say it was a little nerve wrecking! I did try to do this on drag radials so that made for a fun ride as well. With a little more seat time and a better tire I'm confident I can get this car to a mid 9 with a trap over 150. If I was able to get more than one pass I probably could've done it yesterday but it is what it is. I also did hit the limiter about 100ft before I crossed the tree at the end.

The car is still full weight minus ac with Buschur lightweight parts, still has the factory sound deadening! I have rx7 wheels sitting here so another pass with qtps will be in store as long as the track don't remember me

Here's a video my good friend Dave @ articzap media solutions put together for me!

HUGE thanks to Emery, Austin, for meeting me at the track and the whole crew at STM for everything they have done for me along the way!

Its always nice to brush off the dust! Solid run for not being in the driver's seat in over two years. 9s are right around the corner.

Nice work! Definitely a lot of room in her with that 60ft time.
You'll get it soon!!!!

If not, we'll just turn up the boost for you.
