mate of mine has never drag raced in his life until this year,he has not long turned 50 and has a very clean xw falcon which he built up about 5 years ago,i think.He talked to me and i have tried to guide him through the pitfalls of messing around with cars.We started racing this year and he,s been running the street fighter class at wsid,we started with 16.4,s in april,we have spent all up about a grand on it and this weekend ran 14.55 and he took home his first trophy for the bracket win.Happy as a pig in s..t.

A pb and a bracket trophy, I expect we have another one hooked, this drag racing stuff really bites you when you start seeing results. I bet hes already thinking of how to get sub 14 seconds.
