Results of the $2009 - I win! By default…

Well, Jessica and I made it to San Diego in the Fiero under its own power…a feat in itself! Over all, the trip was quite uneventful. Unfortunately, we left late enough that we didn’t have time to take the Pacific Coast Highway and instead stuck to I-5…I still have hopes that I might get some PCH under my belt on the way back. The crew (Devin, Al, Rick, Bruchs, and Jessica) helped me prep the car for the drags on Friday.

Good news: The Fiero was the fastest $2009 car there.

Bad news: The Fiero was the only $2009 car there.

Last, but not least, here’s some YouTube action for you from the drag strip:
