1/4 time

Im curious on how fast my car will run in 1/4 mile. I've never taken to track because im 16 and dont want to make an *** of myself.. but, im guessing like high 15's... here's what it is and whats done to it... it's an 82 firebird trans am manual, with a 305 and big holley carb on it, hooker headers, and i think it has non-stock gears in it from previous owner, i dont know though.. i run out of gear at like 120 in fourth.. any guesses?

Are you going to use that excuse all your life? Oh I'm 21 and I will make an *** out of my self. Oh I'm 35 I will make an *** out of my self!

GO to the track NOW and just do it. The earlier you start the better you will become.

NO MORE EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my case, I'm 52 and can't race anymore because of my diabetes and vision problems and you don't want to use that excuse.

People at the track are by far the nicest people I've ever met. If you go there, nobody's gonna make fun of you if your car goes 16's (that's where I'm at at least...)

Ask questions, most guys don't mind... they're pretty easy to start up a conversation with. Just show some respect and they won't think you're some punk with a slow car... and they always seem to have good tips whether it's on setting up your car or just about racing in general. It's F-U-N and very addicting (costly too... but hey it beats drugs!)
