Default Brought my NA Crossfire to the Track...

I made it out Milan Dragway two weeks ago for the National Shelby Dodge Auto Club convention. Obviously the car doesn't fall into the category of a Shelby Dodge, but they welcome all cars for the drag racing day to help cover the track rental fees. Anyway, the only mod to the car is a magnaflow catback. My best time was as follows:

Best ET
60' == 2.25
1/8 == 9.66
MPH == 74.89
1/4 == 14.95
MPH == 92.60

Best Trap
60' == 2.34
1/8 == 9.78
MPH == 74.12
1/4 == 15.07
MPH == 93.15

I have to say I really wasn't happy with any of my launches. My best being a very mediocre 2.25. As is expected, my best '60 yielded the best 1/4. I made 11 passes and found that shifting at redline was yielding better gains than shifting 250-500 before. With some more launch practice, I'm fairly certain I could cut .1 off my 60' or .2 of my final ET. Even though the car isn't fast, it was pretty nice to be able to make 11 passes, break nothing and be able to drive back home to Chicago with power steering and functioning AC.
