Drags-Daughter beat Dad
The family went to the drags this past Friday. I drove around our complex at 8:30 pm looking into carports for motorcycles. Why, so I could borrow a couple of helmuts. Success. Neighbor across the street had one and a guy down the street with a corvette had one.
Details. 1/8 MILE TRACK
First run..................... I got smoked by Ashley. I took the T/C off. Opps, I just spun the tiires. The announcer asked me if I let her win.........I just smiled
Second AND 4th run.................. I beat her only because the old mans reaction times were better off the line. I also have the 181 pulley on my STR.
The 4th run we switched XF's to mess with the announcer. He came over to the cars before we ran and figured out our little scheme. He was making a big deal out of the 2 SRT's and how good looking they were and a father daughter running against each other.
We had lots of fun. Even the wife watching us enjoyed our little races. I asked her if she wanted to race, but she declined.
Best times

I can't wait untill the Orlando GTG. I think I might need a little more practice. Hopefully, I will have the CIA and ECU tune by July. My SRT is faster rhen Ashley's, but only by a small amount.
