Title: Took the Fiat to the Antique Drags at Barona Sunday Post by: Fiatdude on April 20, 2009, 19:19:40 pm Should of taken a ton of pictures of all the old American iron that was at the eight mile facility -- some door slammers were running 5.1's in the heat of the day (it was 90 deg F)
I ran 8.5's and 8.6's all day at 90 mph at 10 lbs boost and 22 lbs of pressure in my street tires -- and more importantly drove it back onto the trailer LOL The Fiat was the talk of the event after my first pass Title: Re: Took the Fiat to the Antique Drags at Barona Sunday Post by: speedwell on April 20, 2009, 19:34:25 pm :o :o :o :o
