Here's one for ya...

My old lady running the Merc...

Wife went a best of 10.86(best ticket I can find shows 10.90) in the old 4.6 Grand Marquis today in the power puff race at Northeast Dragway down in NC... It slowed to 11.01-11.08 in the heat, so I dialed it a 11 flat... Made no difference, she lost first round due to red light, so we called it a day(was about 90*), flipped on the AC and headed back to VA...

The 1/4mi of course... :D  $hit's deep in here, hope you have a good set of hip waders... :hick:

The bruises will be gone in a week or two... (from me twisting her arm into going):beatyoass:  Was her first timed passes ever, she did drive down the track once at a Fairlane Club meet in the Cobra Jet... Actually she had a good time, just doesn't fare well in the heat or cold(think her thermostat is stuck)...

I managed to coast to a 23.something at 35 last night :hick:

Not much chance there... Not a mod motor fan, won't touch them unless absolutely necessary... Other than oil changes and cleaning the mass air meter a couple times, it's run about 75K mi since the last tune up(55K or so, now has 128K)... Guess it's time...

Now if I could find a low millage, cream puff '90 Town Car with the 5.0, I'd be tempted to stick a 331/347 in it with a small SC...:D

Sounds like a lot of fun.  I asked my wife if she wanted to try to drive and she said NO, did not even think about it.

Didn't someone on another post say "11 in the 1/8 sucks" :hick:

It's a 1/8 mi track... MPH was 65.5 on the 10.90 run... You'll have to dig up a conversion chart for a 1/4 time...

Looks as if your parent's is the darker teal(blue/green), ours is China Blue(exactly as in pix)... Our wheels have the hex center cap... Swapped them from the '92 I sold almost 5 years ago...
