I cranked up the Talon today and got her out on the road. The first trip around the block was nice and easy working everything back into the groove. On the second trip, I got on it from a slow roll... AWESOME. Nose pointing in the air and the engine sreaming bloody murder down the high way! Love it.

So I was thinking an AWD 12.0 pump gas car might fair pretty well at the strip this time of year. Anyone else interested in going if the weather is ok?

Whew! I'm beat, but it was a great day!

I was wearing thermal under wear, three shirts two pairs of socks a Car Heart Jacket and a stocking cap and staid relatively warm... Especially considering my car was the only one out of us three that had heat!

Dan brought out his recently reassembled and radically cammed TA and Josh towed his Turbo Fox body there after a little coaxing on my part.

Josh won a trophy for the best looking car at the event. Very cool.

My theory that an AWD car would have an advantage at the drag strip this time of year really paid off. I ended up having the quickest and fastest times of the entire day. True, there were a lot of trucks and other daily drivers. However there were also alot of powerful muscle cars and race cars that just couldn't get traction to lay down anything better than mid 12's. The majority of those attending were posting times in the 13 second bracket and above. Neither Josh or Dan could get traction long enough to lay down a full pass. I'm happy to say all but one person was smart enough or lucky enough to get out of the gas before hitting a wall.

Last Spring or summer my best pump gas run was 12.0 @ 118mph on 24 to 25psi boost. Today, my best run was a 12.099 @ 119.8 at 24 psi on pump gas. I was pretty jacked.

So today proved my theory that these AWD DSM's will perform well any time of the year in almost any drivable conditions.
