Quarter mile run

[justdennis]

One item on my bucket list was to race a car on a quarter mile track, so yesterday I checked that one off the list. Here is a video of the first of three runs, my best time was 13:02 @ 110.24 MPH
My car is a 2007 XLR V, I know that's not fast by todays standards but it was big fun for me. The track is Gainsville Raceway about 60 miles from my home in Florida. I hope you enjoy the video.

Thats great. Not bad at all. So close to being in the 12 seconds

I know, so close. I'm not sure if it would have made any difference but I ran in sport shift and performance mode all three runs. I thought about turning off the traction control but decided against it. I also had over 3/4's of a tank of gas on board. But I had a great day and rode home in style.
