Going to the track finally!!!!!!! almost 4 years

So like the title says, im finally ready to race the bird. The last time I went I had a beat-up 4 colored primer bird that ran a 12.018@115!!!! I am a little scared to run the car with the shiznitty year i've had.I have since painted the car dropped 100lbs.(from car lol) went from 3.73 to 4.33, an auburn spool, strange axles and c-clip eliminators, had a victor jr. intake cnc port matched to my heads, new upper and lower control arms, new coil-overs, 1-3/4 hooker cerimic long tube headers, 3" x-pipe and magnaflow lers. And it will be in the low 40's tomorrow so I am shooting for 11.50's to 11.60's but anything in the 11's will be just fine.lol wish me luck!!! I hope I don't get too carried away its midnight madness:mullet::burnout:

I am going to the local track here the last Saturday of the month for the March Madness event. They let you run all night for 20 bucks. I am taking the Lincoln and my buddy Jon is taking his (my old lol) Cougar. Should be fun, I've never ran before.
FOXLESS!!
