    Drag Racing Florida Style

    Me and Maria (my 6 year old daughter) waiting to pre-stage on the G-Force Drag Race simulator in Old Town Kissimmee, this thing rides along a rail for 600ft, when the lights go, you nail the accelerator, launch at 5G then accelerate to 109mph in under 2 seconds, then back to 0 in the last 50-odd ft of track.
    We won the race with a 0.07 reaction time, she was completely unfazed by it and wanted to go again, my kids are nutters


    Regards

                        The saturday cruise is better though as it's early muscle cars and stuff, more neon fast and furious type cars on the Friday, still can be good though.

                        I bought the video of us in the car as well, it was extra cheap as it breaks up at the end of the run, will try and get it onto here if you want to see it.
