I took the Viper out for a few quarter mile passes last evening for the first time. I've only been to the drag track a couple times with a 3.0 liter car over 10 years ago so my driver skill expectations were low. Although it was very hot and humid, it was a great night to go since a storm just missed the track and only 15 street cars showed up. I would have gotten a few more runs in but there were 2 crashes. I must say the car was a lot more challenging to launch than I expected because of the tall first gear. I had 4 runs, 11.8, 11.7 and two 11.65s, best 60' was 1.9, worst was 2.1. I had a blast though and plan on giving it another try once the humidity and temps cool off. My goal is to get the sixty down to 1.7.
