First quarter mile timeslip

Hello to all :
Just wanted to let everyone know I finally got my first quarter mile timeslip with the new Lightning. 13.7@100.4mph Woweee.
Bad reaction time though (hey I'm old !). I am so impressed and proud .
Did some slalom racing and lap racing also at this SVT-on track event at Cayuga. What a blast. 6 Lightnings, 17 Cobras and 1 SVT Contour.
The Lightnings handling is awesome. This truck is awesome.
Anyway you can check out my time slip at :

Nice time!

If you think she handles good now, drop it about 3 inches and you'll be amazed at what the truck can do then.

Now it begins, another L owner who will get hooked on a crazy a$$ truck that runs ***** out. YOU GOT TO LOVE IT!

Hey Mdsbort:

Was great meeting you on Saturday. Ya, I'd say you've been bitten by the bug. These trucks really are impressive.

The best run I could muster was a 13.09 @ 105.5. My best mph run was a 107.8. Was disappointed not to make it into the 12's, but hey, drag racing after hot lapping a very long road course is not the best preparation for e.t.'s.

Glad you enjoyed your day and intro into the SVT world. I'll shoot you an email later today.

Hello What04 :
Likewise for meeting you to. I was confirmed "bitten by the bug"
when I saw that impressive truck of yours.
Anyway good to hear from you and please do email me.
I'll talk to you then.
P.S. ... I'm sure I'm going to see your truck listed in the 12 second club soon .

I tried emailing you from work earlier today, but I get the occasional illegal attachment message, and you were one of the lucky ones. So I'll email you tonite from home for sure!
