Night at the drags 340i

Hi Guys,

Finally got a chance to take the 340i to the drag strip to see what it runs stock. Only got 1 run which sucked. Raceway park was packed. Anyway, didn't do so bad for my only run and happy it ran in the 12s.[IMG]
[/IMG] I can't wait until I get a tune to see what it does!

I know the feeling of the single run. Only time I've been I waited for three hours to only get one and finally left.

What was running in the other lane ? Looks like their 60ft was "slower" but a better trap speed.

Yes the waiting sucked, I know I could have gotten a better run in. Next time. The car next to me was a camaro ss.

Nice run. Based on the 60' and trap speed, I'd think you'd be a few tenths quicker with practice launching. Did you use launch mode?

No I didn't get to, I only got 1 run in so I went easy the first time. I definitely think with a better 60ft it should be a 12.7 car. We will see

The other car was a Camaro SS with exhaust from what I could hear.
