That was really awesome. I've never had a chance to drive the car hard to see what is is really like. It's always been sneaking around the roads getting on it here and there for a few seconds or 13 secs at the drag strip 13.1 @ 107 was my best time so far with two attempts (my first ever) at drag racing. My goal there is to get into the 12's and now that the bad torque converter and new tranny are in it runs much better. I'm sure it will get 12's now.

It was so much fun to be able to put it to my limit on the course (and over ....
sideways for fun :-) ).
Before I got there I was a little worried as to how bad I would be compared to the high tech cars there. The C3 was a hit even if it doesn't run with the new stuff. It was cool to be the only classic there and people really liked it.

My intent was to just run and have some fun, boy did I ever. My daughter showed up, rode in some cars, had a blast and told me how cool my hobbies were compared to her mother's "refinish this board" offers.

My face hurt from smiling so much!

I got home and registered for Sept 28ths outing.

It would really be cool if some other BSCC owners would get there cars out.

Yohoo members, where are you?? :-)
