Took my 2012 SE to the drag strip!
 
My friend has been bugging me to go to the drag strip with him for a while and I finally decided to go. I made 5 total runs and the following is my best run of the night. Enjoy!

1/8 mile at 65.63 MPG? You must have been going downhill the whole time [:)] It's cool that you took your SE to the strip though.

I'll scan in the time slip if you don't believe me.

You need a helmet for a 16 second run? At our strip you don't need a helmet til you're under 14 secs.

Still the best 1/4 mile time form an SE I've seen reported was a 15.9 by MotorTrend.

Yeah, I could see it getting there. I'm not a "pro" drag driver and the weather was not very cooperative for drag racing (hot and humid). I could probably get it in the low 16's if it was cooler and dry

Reaction time is not part of the ET. The clock starts running after you leave.


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:54 AM.
