as many or all of u know island dragway was re-surfaced not long ago. after the re-surfacing we had battled to get traction, and the day after a rain fall it felt even more hopeless. anyhow i recently went to a rental and they were talking about the traction compound they were using and they said they went back to the old stuff. i didnt know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. a bunch of us were waiting for someone to be the guinea pig and take a pass. a few cars went down and i finally had to step up and give it hell. let me just say i stood the car 2 feet in the air on the first pass!!! 1.40 60 ft!!! i went a 9.81 @ 136!!!
second pass 1.39 60ft 9.80 @136!! and then went the cars all time best of 1.37 60ft! 9.77 @137!!!! i also forgot to mention that doing a burnout was a task! if u didnt lay into the throttle the car would just push out of the burnout box! end result, i am very impressed with the track as a whole and im glad they got it all taken care of. btw the car driven was a 78 malibu owned by bill ceralli of ceralli competition engines.
