Went to drag strip again and I finally did it!!! "Video Inside"
Ok, so I'm sure everyone on here saw the video last week of me flying down the track. For the life of me, I just couldn't freaking break into the 12's that day. I was getting consistant 13.0xx all night long last Friday.
Fast foward to today....I was running terrible all night until I finally got lucky one run and it hooked...and boy did it hook!
Running against my friend's Supra might of had something to do with it. It's all a mental thing heh. The moral of the story is, if you want to run a good time...get your friend to run down the track with you lol. The silver GTO was also my friend but I didn't run too well on those passes.

There's a button below it to watch in higher resolution/quality.
Also, there are also the dangers of running down the track. I had a really close call tonight. The tires were a little wet and I was going sideways halfway down the track. Gotta keep those maaad drift countersteering skillz polished to prevent spinning out and going into the wall
Picture of me heading towards the Camaro, watch it in the video 4th race.
Timeslip Below:
Track Condition 85F, humidity 77%. Rear tires Michelin PS2 295-30/19 @ 29psi.

did you lose some pounds or everything was the same, just mental, racing against your friend?
regardless, that's an impressive number! i'm sure you can get into the low 12's like your friend's supra.
