Default Drag times

I did a run at the local drag strip today, hoping to just crack the 15's as last time I ran a 16.490. I ended up running a 15.654 @ 88.583mph which amazed me. I had a vaccum leak on my brake booster which was causing most of the problem and I droped the exhaust off at the extractors to beef it up a bit.

the MPH is very low though, so you must have got a perfect run.

It's not too bad. Mine ran 15.5 @ 88mph. Good thing I had the flux capacitor turned off at the time.
