Well if he's gone then I can hijack the thread...lol. Absolute madness melting down tires like that...wish I had that much $$$ to "burn"....
I did a couple of short burnouts last time I was at the 1/8th mile because "hose boy" was watering the box like he was putting out a wildfire...my wife likes drag racing but she gave me grief about doing the burnouts giving me the old "You're frigging almost STOCK! What's with the burnouts???"
My last run I asked her to ride along knowing the extra weight wasn't cool but hoping to get out of the doghouse...even put her in charge of datalogging with the Flashpaq during the run (even asked if she wanted to drive but she declined).
I drive around the waterbox as best I can and just GO. So we make a 9.178 pass just stomping it off the line (decent .087 reaction) but a "no frills" run....ESP off, Flashpaq raised shift points, reduced TM, adjusted the tire pressure, auto-kick trans setting, blah blah blah....anyhow, we get to the end of the run which wasn't bad considering how hot it was and we blew away the Ricer in the next lane and I get this...
"So you can't do a burnout with ME in the car???!!!"
I will NEVER understand women!!! Your mileage may vary....
