First time at the strip

My Mustang buddies talked me into going to Cayuga today with them,first time ever to the track. Did 5 runs with a best time of 13.77 @ 105.78 . I think I'm hooked now.

Nicely done dude, never been as a driver, but lot's of fun to watch. Nice to be able to get your car out and run it without worrying about keeping an eye open for big brother!!

Nice!!Not bad times at all.Did you run on stock tires?Or drag radials?Or similar?
It's definitely an addicting sport for most.
I know for myself after watching the LNLC drag day this year,it really killed me to sit on the side lines!!I've been trying to keep away from it the last few years so i can enjoy my stang in a different way,like the cruising way,but man i miss that rush on the 1320!!!

Ha ha ha Just thought of something - it's one of those rare things where you pay your money, and the faster it's over, the happier you are !!

The run were on radials correct? 346 HP should get you into low 12's on a tire.
