I was at the strip a few weeks ago on badly balded Bridgestone 245/45ZR16s in back..  I do a lot of autocrossing so my tires were badly worn, this was my first time ever on the strip.  Only got 2 runs in...  First was a 15.9 @ 89 mph, horrible launch, bad wheelspin, missed 2nd gear cause my hands were all sweaty..  2.6s 60'.  Smoked the chick in the civic hatch next to me though haha.  Second run I had a friend in the car with me, again horrible launch bad wheelspin but caught 2nd pretty quick, ran a 15.3 @ 89 mph, 2.3s 60'.  Walked the '00 Si next to me.  The car is easily capable of a 14 second quarter just need to get some new tires.

I'm not all that into drag racing anyway, it was a cool experience but I'll stick to the road racing.
