Default Going for a short cruise..

I promised a few folks that I'd take The Gentleman's Cruiser on a couple of short trips - 1320 feet to be exact.

I've got tons of time on road courses - on two wheels - but have never been on a drag strip. It would be silly with the PS2's so I've got a friend who is lending me his drag pack. I'm going to try hard not to break anything which means the runs will probably look like 2.2 second 60ft, 12.5 ET at 138MPH.

We find out on 11/5 at MIR.

BTW: I will be removing the sub-woofer and taking the groceries and golf clubs out of the trunk.

Well if you do break something it will be ok. It is almost time to send the car to VA Speed for its 'Winter hibernation'.
