12.14 @ 115.8mph 1/4 mile!!!

Had a great night at the track yesterday, even though it was hot and humid and boost was limited to only 16psi. Big thanks to Eurocharged Austin for my tune and MBH for those badass 3" downpipes! Getting lighter wheels next week, maybe I can get a 12.0 or 11.9 with them. My reaction time was crap, but this was the best of 10 passes...

Just a dummy question here. How do you go about to drive on a track and what does it cost? I'd like to go do a pass to see what my NA E550 can do but don't know how to go about it.

find a track near you that has a "test-n-tune" night and go. The track I went to was $10 GA and an additional $10 for a tech card(to be able to race). It's a smaller track, but the closest one to my home.

When you tech in, ask questions and then go watch how the staging and lights work. Another option would be search on YouTube for "How to drag race" or something like that...

where are you located?

So basically any track could have open doors for public?

im in south Louisiana and I know one track. I need to go ask them.

Yes. Most tracks host events that are sanctioned, and then have "open to the public" events as well
