I have always been intrigued by the drag strip and finally decided to get up and go today. I made some runs by myself as well as running against a turbocharged Mazda MX6. I was the only import there until the Mazda showed up. The runs were made at the 1/8th mile Piedmont Dragway which is at around 880 ft elevation.
I have done some autocross and other similiar events but this was my first time at the drag strip and I felt pretty good as I got more runs in and believe once I improve my launching and driving I can shave off a bit more of my time.
Here are the runs
R/T .772
60' 1.939
330 5.609
1/8 8.693
MPH 81.79
------- Legacy ---- ---- MX-6
R/T ---- .785 ---- ----- .646
60' ---- 1.882 ---- ----- 2.106
330 --- 5.632 ---- ----- 5.838
1/8 --- 8.705 ---- ----- 8.794
MPH -- 82.13 ---- ----- 84.31
------- Legacy ---- ---- MX-6
R/T ---- .846 ---- ----- .644
60' ---- 2.084 ---- ----- 2.202
330 --- 5.874 ---- ----- 6.084
1/8 --- 8.953 ---- ----- 8.980
MPH -- 82.46 ---- ----- 87.91
Once I improve my launching and driving I believe I should be able to get to low 8s

We went to the quarter mile for the first time a while back and I found one of the slips. I'll try and get it scanned soon
