I would like to say me... but that car is a 13.1 runner. ... I kept up good until 3rd gear.

I gotta a funny story about that guy. He is a friend so he asks me if I wanna try his car down the track... DO I EVER!!! So he tells me to shift at redline (6000rpms), and to be smooth between the gates, oh and launch from 2500-3000rpm.

So I try a first run against his brother's Honda S2000... completely embrasses me... I had some shifting issues (going to fast). Pulled a 14.5 (DAMN!). I ask him for another try at it, I don't want to look that bad. So they are all chuckling at the "rustang" driver, that got beat by the import in a 35th anniversery TA.

I new I could only improve, but this time I would do it my way. I line up for a launch at 1500rpm, and I get the car to 5250-5500rpm between shifts, I got up to about 50-100ft from the line and could not get the shifter in 4th gear... so I glided through the line.

Anyways, when I got back to posting area, he was so mad. I felt bad, I didn't know what was going on.

I beat his best time. I hit a 13.19, and his best post up to know was 13.20. But he had not realized that I had not put it in 4th yet. His usual was 107-108MPH and I got it in at 90MPH.

I was laughing inside but did not want piss him off too bad. Anyways, his goal was to hit the 12s and I said I can do it if you want... response: that's ok, I'll drive from now on.

One of the best times I had last summer. That is the day I pulled my 13.69.
