How many passes did you make at the drag strip last year?

AJSTANG · 02-09-2001, 05:54 PM

I was going through some of my time slips from last year and I took a count just out of curiosity. I usually run FRI or Sat test and tune between Mar and Nov. I figure I made about 75 passes. How about some of you other test and tune guys or gals?

n20lx · 02-09-2001, 08:20 PM

Last year was an off season. Only 4 pass & scatterd the rods. I usually get close to 50 a year & have enough slips since I satrted racing in 91 to fill a shoe box.

Super9089 · 02-09-2001, 08:48 PM

I had to make at least 100 passes last year.

At New England Dragway there were about 20 points days,Fun Ford weekend,Tasca Ford day.

I also ran a few Fri nights ,Jet Cars under the Stars,Night of Thrills.

Then I towed to Norwalk for the Summit Super Series Bracket Finals,1/8 mile.

And I can't wait for this season.If is wasn't for snowmobiles,winter in New England would really stink.

yep, i stopped counting slips at ten, only thing that stops me from going every wed and fri is the jacked up price from 10 to 15$ to test n tune. But i'll only be going now when i get a new mod, so i can see improvements.

Well in 2000 the stang was down a lot while I got the motor built and put in. So I figure I made about 60. But in 1999 I was there almost every weekend so I figure about 110+.

80 or so for me. I go quite a bit, but only make around 10 passes each time.

Five0 · 02-10-2001, 09:52 PM

I'm guessing but I would say around 50.

I'd guess about 20. I go maybe twice a month as it's a little over an hour each way for me to get there. Mostly on test and tune nights, although I did make it to the semi-finals at the Ford weekend at Route 66 last year...and red lighted!

I go to tune the car and have FUN!!!
