More pictures and info to come.

This might be the most fun thing I've ever done....


I was nervous at first and didn't even run for like two hours after the track opened. There weren't that many people, only 2 other Mustangs - a V6 and a 2012 Boss. A couple nice Vettes and a V6 Camaro. I started talking to the guy with the Boss, he was super cool and he rode with me while I went.

The picture is of my first run with a Trans Am.

I'm waiting to race the guy with the Boss right now. He said my car felt faster than his when he rode in it but I don't believe him haha

Yeah, I think that's pretty standard but I always wear a helmet when I go. Cheap insurance from a concussion in case the worst happens. I just wanted to give you a heads up since some tracks are really strict and will throw you out if you run 13.5 and didn't have a helmet on.

Oh okay :) This track is pretty relaxed about everything.

They're having an event in a couple months (on my birthday!) called Modern Muscle Shootout. I'm super excited :D

Good luck glad to see you got a chance to get out there and have some fun Mandy. A couple more runs and you will get where you want to be and if u really enjoy doing it you may look into a stall converter especially since it isn't ur daily driver.

13.5 at 109.29 mph all five passes at Silverdollar Race Way, Reynalds Ga, two weeks ago.

Ran great all the way down the track...
I tried each mode, Auto/ advance trac on then off...
Sport/ Advance on and off....
Same results, 13's and 109-110mph.

Going wait till I get all my moods in the mail, before I make the big jump and put my steeda tune in...

BTW...great job, Mandy...its always great to see a female out there on the track..showing the boys hows it done...

Red.....

Tonight I ran 13.6 twice (when I was being a baby), 13.3 twice and finally 13.2 :D 85 degrees, at least 90% humidity
Good job I imagine with that many runs you are getting more comfortable behind the wheel. Did u do it with your cowgirl hat on?

it wasn't a bicycle helmet was it :) Just teasin you go crazy with the car and you will be getting told to roll cage it

My local 1/8 mile said 7.5 for a cage i got my 5.0 down to 7.7 before i traded but they defiantly have the potential...with the right tires and setup along with great conditions 7.5 would def be a possibility...i was only running, roush cai, tune, 3.73 gears, and mickey Thompson drag radials.... It was also an auto..so now you know that good times are possible with minor mods

What is the formula from 1/8 to 1/4? It's obviously a lot closer than 1:2, is it just a few more seconds for the 1/4 mile?
