Irwindale Dragstrip

[2011GT302]

Anyone going to Irwindale tomorrow?
I'm gonna take the new (to me) mustang out for a test run.
The 1/8th mile is closing this year also so I need to make one last trip.

Thought they shut down in October?

[2011GT302]

They are running through July.

Anyone have a Large or XL helmet I can use tonight?

[Damian]

If anyone cares....

8.4 was my best for the night. Not to bad for stock with street tires. My 2001 GT topped out at 8.1 with 100 shot and slicks.

That' s not bad Steven. What was the mph and your 60ft?

[Shaolin Crane]

Your car has way more in it, 8.4 was the best me or my ex could run in her 07 with tune, intake, and headers.

Yeah, Irwindale building commission approved a shopping mall.

R/T - .105
60' - 2.030
330 - 5.542
1/8 - 8.418
MPH - 87.00

8.4 seems to be pretty uniform for a stock 2011 Mustang GT, so I'm happy with the time. I was spinning on take off and spinning on the 1/2 shift. So better tires (DR's or Slicks) and it will run a high 7 second pass.

Bummer. I liked Irwindale.

Bummer. I liked Irwindale.

I like it too since it's at night and every week.
