I'm pretty sure you can. I've seen atv's, lawnmowers, etc...

The karts would be a lot of fun. for the 1/8th mile. We'd run out of gear in a hurry.

I'm going to try for around 7. I don't get home until almost 6 so it might be more like 7:30 before I end up there.

Do any of you all know if you have to have your windows up to make a pass?

Windows up and make sure you do not have your AC on quite a while before your race, they get agitated when they have to mop up AC run off.

Awesome time tonight, looking forward to getting together again in September for some more drag racing fun. My fastest run of the day was like a 9.3 @ 76mph, no 8's for me but the car is plenty capable of it. Couldn't dip below a 2.0 60' either. Marcus and I had a really good run on the first pass and then just failures every pass after, either I would go from 2nd to 5th or he would just spin coming off the line.
