first time at a dragway ever 1/8th mile
First time ever at a drag strip... we went to shadyside in shelby NC. Best run of the day was 9.085 my launches were horrible due to my tiny street tires and cold track. Everyone was having traction issues but I was the fastest import... the temp was a little over fourty. I was trapping low nines all day.. these times were taken on nine pounds of boost I feel if I get drag radicals, turn boost up and figure launches out I could trap low eights maybe high sevens. I have videos and time slips I will postlater

Back around 1995 I read about a guy who was married and had a couple kids and a Dodge minivan, so since he couldn't afford a Buick GN he put nitrous on the minivan and took it to the drag strip. He regularly humiliated Vettes, granted that's when 14 second 1/4 times were the norm and 12s was fast.

My best pass was a 8.20 at only 84 mph with a 1.71 60' time. I was probably making barely over 200 hp. The difference was I was running slicks. I was almost 8/10 slower on radials.

People who say that a miata is a poor drag car is because they're the type of miata owners that would rather stand at a cone in a parking lot for 8 hours so they can drive their car like 3 laps for under 5 minutes.
