    At the very end of the video'd run (8/20/11), the videographer commented "oh my god".
    Guess she didn't know what to expect. First time at the drags for her?

    :D That was my 12 year old daughter,She Is Daddys girl!!!!

    Ive taken her to the drags before but she worries about me,She always traveled with me when I raced round track.I destroyed a unlimited dirt late model car right in front of where she was sitting a couple years ago,
    She wasnt impressed

    Went last night to Quaker and ran full 1/4 for the first time desite the heat of 95 degrees and air you could cut with a knife

    First run was in the low 8's
    Sec run 7.76 @ 173.01
    These clips are of the last run and the fastest of 3 turning a 7.72 @ 176.75 MPH ..... not bad for an old 57 Oldsmobile and theres plenty left!!!

    First is the burnout and second the run

    I editted the middle out as not to bore ya, as I stopped the car fast after the burnout, and managed run the fuel away from the pump and stalled it.
    Im not carring batterys on board so my dad had to drive the 4 wheeler out and refire me
    DAMN ROOKIE....lol

    What a ride and got to throw out my laundery a couple times...

    I also got a Gopro camera mounted on the car for a run just need to figure out how to transfer to my computor

    My first full 1/4 mile run

    Heres what an 8 sec pass looks like taken with a Gopro mounted on the car
    It was dark when i ran my 7.70"s and I took camera off not giving it enough credit, but after seeing this I think it would have been fine

    Ill play with it this wk end
