Had fun at the drags. But it was over 100 degrees and the track was so slick nobody could get down it.
The temporary track was an asphalt airport runway the fastest time of the day was an 11.20 by and AA/gas blown Anglia if that tells you how slick it was. Most of the fast cars tried one run and put them back in the trailer. My best time was a 13.22 that was easy out of the hole and getting to about the 1/16 mile before flooring it and I also missed 3. They would not let you run the AC and It was so hot inside the viper waiting in line ½ hour my hand was dripping with sweat and it slipped off the shifter. See the second video.
This video was how most runs were no traction still spinning at the 1/8th mile.

time was a 13.64 110 mpg

This was my best run even with the missed shift and all.

It was over 120 degrees in the car if I couldn't use the air at least I needed a drink. I my hand hadn't come off the Knob I would have miss the drink.

To give you and idea how slick it was here are some other cars including the fasted run of the day. (Helter Skelter)

That was Helter Skelter only ran and the fastest of the day 11.20. He said it was too slick and he put it in the trailer.
The challenger spun shut it down and headed for his trailer.
