I second the new thread idea.
Gota like the white walls! Any idea of the year this was taken?

A showroom-stock Caddy that runs solidly in the 13s -- that's awesome, and pulling runner-up on your first time out, cutting a .511 in the final round makes for a near-perfect evening. Better to lose by breakout than going too slow.

Looking at those old TDR pics makes you realize just how much of the place is still the same.

BTW, what did John's breathed-on Buick run?

Paul must've been the odd man out, the only one of three of you without a blower!

The GS Regal ran 14.40's. The Roadmaster's best was 15.10. There was serious traction problems for me and had to pedal off the line each time. But it was fun either way.

With weather in the 50's not the high 80's, actually 54 degrees, I thought I'd like to see what the STS-V would do.
With a little better traction and a little better temperatures, I had a best run of 13.397 seconds @103.240 mph.
Backed that up with a 13.462 @ 103.161.

In the first round of eliminations I ran the same Yellow Camaro (dialed 11 flat this time) that I ran in the Animal final last time out.
Treed him again, but ran 13.47 on a 13.39 dial, lost by .02 seconds. TRP's always fun!

Wow -- that's awesome!
