drag strip

FIrst ever pass in the Plaid. Thursday Night Thunder, Irwindale Dragstrip. Crushed the Mustang in the right lane. Drag Strip mode engaged, Peak Performance Ready.

For those who have not yet experienced what it’s like to be on a drag strip with your MS Plaid, this post is for you. Most big US drag strips operate under rules of the National Hot Rod Association, which is fine unless you drive a really quick, unmodified (stock) electric car. The Plaid can...
