THE DRAGS!
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 I don’t mean ‘drag’ like the blues, I am talking about drag racing at New York International Speedway Park! What a freak’in rush! I loved it. We went out last Friday for a ‘test and tune’ and MOM’s (Mustang on Mustang) night, and I put the new Bullitt Mustang through it’s paces a few times. Wow that was fun, the car performed quite well, and I performed decent. The track was not as sticky as I had anticipated, so it took a couple of passes on the quarter mile track to get the feel of the power to traction ratio. By nights end I ran the car at 14.1 seconds at 101.5 MPH against a vintage Mach 1 351 who was running about 10 car lengths behind me. Sorry Otis! Of course some guy ran a low 12 against me and it looked like I was parked. We are back at the track on July 25th and their web-site is NYIRP.com
Well that’s it for now, a shorter blog by design, as my first one was quite lengthy and introspective, and I fear my next may be a fiery political diatribe…
