My son ran the T-bird today, 17.54 was the best pass. His 1st run was 3 tenths quicker in the 60 ft and carried it out to the 1000 ft timer, but he lifted early not knowing exactly where the finish line is. Sad to say you can still spin with a 17 second car when it's an open carrier. It was his 1st time racing, so it served it's purpose. I thought 16 seconds from seat of the pants, but not so much.

Yeah a bit of practice will settle him down, can't just slap the throttle with a peg leg rear...

A couple weeks ago, I went to track for first time in almost four years, now itching to get the Bird back together...

Weather permitting we'll be heading back to Mason Dixon on Monday. The wife wants to give it a try as well. We've been married 20 years and it's the 1st time she has showed interest in making a pass. Must be the car.
