These track day's have been around for a year or two, but the 15minutes open track, and the clocked free pulls are a first :D

Even racing in a slow car is fun. Good luck.

i got fooled :(
I went to the Estoril track in order to get my K8 tested ... instead they only made timed drag's when the car was in the drag championship :(

But the next one ill try my car on the championship, its cheap ...

I will still hope to beat the 16.6 time posted before :D

ps: since this was not in the street, it is not street racing ...
As you can see, it was in the parking lot of the Estoril Track, and they even placed a christmas tree light fot the free drag :D

only in my memory ...
i got pulled by one of the strippers to do a lapdance ...
My gf was not very happy with this :(
But it is very weird to have a stripshow in front of 250 people ... i mean, she had a nice body ( i have the movie ) but i couldnt think anything dirty, i was like a kid at christmas :oops:

The only thing I can recommend is be smooth with your driving. Don't jerk and force the shifter, don't slam the gas, don't drop the clutch. Feather everything in and out.
