What a great time.  Went to the Turbo Buick dot Com nationals in Burlington NC this past few days.  Couldn't get my Grand National there, but drove there in the MKT to watch and meet up with friends.

Amongst all the FAST turbo Buicks, they actually let us have a mini Ecoboost challenge because there were three of us there!!  My MKT, and two F150's (a 4x4 and a 2wd).

My MKT ran consistent 9.30's all day
The 4x4 ran consistent 9.30's all day
The 2wd ran consistent 9.90's all day (could get decent traction).

I took the 2wd pickup out in the first round
And just barely took out the 4x4 in the second(last) round to win the challenge!!!

BTW We are all BONE STOCK!!

You long time drag racers will especially appreciate the significance of these numbers on that run.
