My first trip down the quarter mile

First time down the drag strip ever and the first time I have actually launched the car. The runs were far from perfect, sloppy at best, but I was satisfied. Seeing that I've never been down the strip I did better than I was expecting. First run was a 12.6 at 109.63 and the second, with two other ppl in the car was a 12.87 at 108. Car is an evo 9, mods are pretty basic : hallman mbc, ets licp, 02 dump, and UR catless TB, tuned at 22 psi by Forged.

Not bad for a first time!

I was just at our TnT on Wednesday, some kids were trying to ride shotgun in a Mustang GT also. Track official stopped that and pulled the kid off the track. Needless to say, all three kids were kicked out and not allowed to return for the rest of the year.
