So this is how this came about. I'm not a racer by any means, but on Thursday a few of my co-workers invited me to the tack (Speed World) in Surprise, AZ Friday night for a "Test & Tune" anything goes night. Sine, I bought my TTA, I never raced it be for nor was I planning too, but I was always curious on what it could do just for my own knowledge. Besides, when ever I take it to cruise nights & car shows one of the top 3 questions I always get is: Whats it run?
So, my co-workers with some good pure pressure talked me into taking my TTA Friday night to the track, few of them brought their cars to. One of the tracks rules is any car 14sec & under requires a helmet, I brought my motorcycle helmet just in case,but I didn't think I was really going to need it, since I had no idea on what the car was going to run, I was figuring high 14's to 15 flat area with me driving.
So, I get in the staging lanes getting ready to go, both excited & nervous at the same time, my buddy was in the other lane with his 72" Camero with a built 502BB & 4-speed. He does a nasty burn out, & I do a mini one. I stage up at the lights & power braked it a little & left on the last yellow. When I took off, it felt like the Enterprise getting ready to jump to warp speed. I ended up running a 14.2 first time out and I beat my buddy (he couldn't hook up-he said) so that was cool.
I ran 4 more times next was a 13.9, changed lanes & ran a 14.0, went back at the other lane and ran 13.9 again, let it cool for a while & ran about an hour later, last pass of the night & ran a 13.6. I was proud of my self for braking the 14sec mark, I think the car is capable of lower 13's but with me driving I'm happy with what it did. :burnrubber:
