I left work early to go drag racing

It was an idle Thursday and work was slow. Yoga class didn't start until 7:30 pm and I had a bit of time to kill. There's an 1/8th mile drag

Talking I left work early to go drag racing

It was an idle Thursday and work was slow. Yoga class didn't start until 7:30 pm and I had a bit of time to kill. There's an 1/8th mile drag strip in Irwindale Event Center that I wanted to check out. For $20, you can drag race to your heart's content. So I took off a little early with my GoPro Hero2 in hand and filmed my experience.

Here's the video:

I don't want to say cause it's embarrassing. HAHAHA.

Let's just say.. I hit 9's. I had a ton of fun. For those 9.9 seconds, I felt free like Paul Walker racing a Ferrari up PCH.

Very cool, I couldn't help smiling with you! Zs are awesome no matter what your flavor of enjoyment may be with them. Don't sweat the times, Zs aren't the best from a standing start anyway!
