1) Me 89 GT(spinning BAD) r/t: 1.092 .782 60ft: 2.773 3.276 1/8: 12.293 14.066 mph: 57.552 54.553 2) Me r/t: .072 60ft: 1/8: 12.284 mph: 57.565 3) Me(best run) New V-6 Mustang, auto r/t: 1.199 60ft: 2.661 2.210 1/8: 12.118 10.569 mph: 57.818 67.312 4) Me 89 GT vert(spinning again) r/t: .789 .607 60ft: 2.783 5.905 1/8: 12.329 13.836 mph: 57.332 66.795 5) Me 89 Gt vert(hooked this time) r/t .993 .756 60ft: 2.776 2.430 1/8: 12.251 9.959 mph: 57.592 73.685 6) Me Jeep pickup r/t: 1.108 .460 60ft: 2.651 2.421 1/8 12.129 11.106 mph: 57.590 61.890 All in all I think I did pretty good, this being my first time running at the track. And in the GT owners defense, he did get it down to a 9.3.

Hey man, glad you had fun. That's what it's all about. Even though you weren't the fastest you still had fun. The time to go to the track is when the Honda's and Acura's have thier Annual Car Club meeting their. I've embarrased quite a few Ricers.lol

What was up with the guy in the 89GT! I'd think a part throttle run could trap higher than 55mph! He must've dropped the clutch at 5500 and sat there overheating the engine to run that badly!

Ok, Pony this is was happened. He spun VERY badly his first run. The second run, he was gonna pop the clutch at 2000. Well some how he stall the motor, restarted it, reved it, and poped the clutch. He's not a bad driver, this was just the first time he had been to the track in 2 years. He later ran a 9.31

Hey, tireburner163, u need to work on your R/T. Granted, I haven't ran a car yet. But on Comp games, I get a constent .7 and below. Best I ever get was a .567. Remeber to leave on the last yellow light. Before the green. Not on the green. The last yellow light is on for only .4 sec, and that is added in your r/t. Have fun!

If I still had my 4 banger in my '79, I'd beat u all. I was preatty fast in it. 4-speed manual. I could do 70 in second.
I did 75+ in second one time on acident. My motor was running at 7,500 RPM's, oops.
