Red face My first time…Let herrr RIP…I think?
Okay guys and gals, I thought I would share my first ever experience at the track with all of you.

Background -
Buddy of mine bought a stock 03 Cobra and challenged me to a drag race two weeks ago. I did my research (google) on his car and found it would be an even match, drivers pending. So, I told him sure but after I get my mods installed and that caused him to quickly mod the Cobra with a pulley/ CAI/ ECU Flash.
He asked me last week, “Are you ready to get your *** handed to you?” to which I replied my mods have not arrived yet (I’m nervous). Thinking to myself, LET were are my mods so I can take the 6 out and let her RIP? He calls me yesterday to say he will be at the track that night and wants me to meet him. Still modless but tired of his fat lip, I agree to meet but not race.

Track -
Met at the gas station, I follow him to the track and discovered there is a $10 lane charge. I only had $5 so he pays my way in and says, “I already own you”. New to this whole thing, I see the majority of people with hoods up. So when in Rome do as the Romans ...LOL... I 90 degree my hood and the next thing I knew there was a crowd around me. I answer questions; correct those making wrong assumptions and then the announcer calls out the lanes are open. My buddy leaves, makes his first run, returns to me disappointed and starts provoking me to just make one pass.
I cave and get in line NERVOUS AS HELL. I’m trying to remember information I read on our forum about drag racing like TC off, shift into first and hold on, AC off and windows up, go on the third yellow light etc… LOL…Cars all around me revving their engines so I can’t focus. I’m here in the lane against a ricer and he spins his tires so when in Rome do as the Romans...LOL…so I spin mine…I know what you guys are thinking but remember its my first time and I’m NERVOUS. One yellow lit, two yellows lit, the third yellow lit and I’m off down the track screaming as if its adding hp…LMAO.
I made three runs after that with my first run being the best go figure maybe my screaming did add some power LOL. Going 4-0 in all passes, 3 against ricers and 1 against my buddies Cobra. So for not having my mods I was elated that the 6 won every race, regardless of times at this point. Got home and waiting for me on the door was a UPS Attempted Delivery Notice, I missed my pulleys/ intake isn’t that something. THANKS LET! LOL!

Times -
I will edit this post and show all times later today, back to work.
