Well check that off the bucket list

Made some bonsai passes down an airport runway this weekend. Got the chance to make a trip to Gladwin MI for their event "Thunder on the Strip". Basically it's a small town with an airport that they shut down twice a year to drag race on. It's an 1/8 mile race with very minimal prep. True street cars only, DOT tires, registration & insurance, full exhaust, etc. I didn't have much luck getting it to hook but still had a great time. Still one of the quickest cars there. I'll be making some changes and trying again in the fall.

Cool video. Not surprised you had traction issues. Airstrips are not known for grip.

I figured it would be ok since it works well on the un-prepped street since they put traction compound down but I was wrong. Making changes for next time. Probably won't be carrying out wheelies but it should make it down the track better.

Thanks guys! I've got another one uploading from Great AMC Day this weekend that's a little more impressive. Will post here when it's done.

And Flint, you know FSJ'ers always get a ride whenever possible!

We'll get some feedback on this fuel bill idea from several FSJ enthusiasts in or near AZ and get back to you on that Greg
