I got to racing March 20, 2008 at Wilkesboro Raceway Park in Wilkesboro, NC for its Thursday night "Test 'n Tune" event. $8 and unlimited runs (time permitting of course) I twas lots of fun and got all excited to spend money on more "go fast" mods for my car (see page 5). My best time was a 10.64 and I won 4 of 8 races against semi-random opponents. I beat another Lesabre twice, a Volvo S40, and (I think) a Chevy Lumina (If its not let me know - its the red one in the last two pictures). I lost to a Chevelle, a turbo MR2 (see pics), and a Taurus SHO, and a Maxima. I am not sure if they had any mods or not (except the MR2 had a turbo and a roof mounted ram air scoop, exhaust, ect..) My best reaction was a .34 *sigh* So, without further ado, here are the pics (or at least some of them):
Looking at the track
Lined up against the Buick
WIN!
Lined up against the S40
Lined up against the MR2
Look how close it was! Damn my reaction time!!!
Right after green. He had me at the 60' but after that I was gone!
WIN!
BTW, it was an 1/8th mile track. So if up to this point you thought I was doing 10 second runs in the 1/4 mile well, awesome. lol.

VIDEO of me racing another LeSabre at the track. It wasn't my best time of the day but it shows how far a few mods can go. I can't wait to get more things on it!
And here is a list of the times typed out. I tried scanning them into the computer but the light ink and the yellow paper do not make for a legible scan. So I typed them into notepad and copied that onto here. My car is always "Lesabre" and the listings are the correct lane position, reaction time, 1/8 mile time, and 1/8 mile speed.
