    Default 12 Second ET Tow Vehicle

    I like the 30 MPG tow vehicle. My tow vehicle gets 18 MPG but I ran a 12.7 in the 1/4 mile. I will have to get rid of it and replace it with a truck when I get my F-1000 car

    25 mpg
    13.1 1/4 mile, I'm sure a real driver could do better with it.
    It's a bit of a shame to pull trailers with it, and more often I use an old beat up VW Golf that doesn't get much better mileage.

    Default Nice Lawn?

    I knew you were in Arizona (Or Vegas) from the lush landscaping!

    I can count the number of times I've been drag racing on the fingers of two hands. At best, I'm a very average drag racer, but I do know people who take drag racing very seriously, and I know they can get much more out of a car than I can on a 1/4 mile strip. To start, I'm sure a real drag racer would put on drag radial, disconnnect the front sway bar, tweak the rear suspension, do a big smokey burnout before launching, etc, etc. Drag racing never interested me enough to bother learning how to do it well, and it simply goes against my nature to beat on a car, like drag racing does.

    Hey Scott,

    You made it down to P1 with that TonyKart yet? It's been 10 years since I first drew up the track, still haven't driven it though...

    What kind of F1000 car are you getting? Email me offline if you want to chat about it.


    Later,
    Ren
