My First night out withe The Galaxie.....

Here's how it went.............

First time driving the car at the track. All the pass's i made were about 1/8 mile. Had to see how the car acted through out the track. The run thats at my www is when i started getting comfotable but, was not focused on the shift light yet and it was set so close to the rev-limiter that when i waited for the light to hit 3rd, the limiter hit and it popped and i backed off and then got back in it. Car is very powerful. Launches hard and straight. The horse power guess's are in the area of 600+. Based on the numbers on my time slip on that run, if i had stayed in it, it would have been a mid-high 10 sec. pass. Once i get a handle on her it will be wheels up for sure...................

LOL


I think i had the biggest WTF look on face that i have ever had.

Im running again on the 19th. so i think by the end of the day i should be in the 10's.

I just needed those first pass's to get a little feel for the car.
