Taking the H3 to the track...
This might leave most of you scratching your head, but I figured I would have some fun with my H3 tonight. I'm going to take it down the 1/4 mile for a few laughs.
Why? ... Why not!
The reality is that I've never driven a car on a drag strip before, and my other car makes close to 600 hp so it can be more than a handful on the street, so I wanted to familiarize myself with the procedure of everything before I take something I actually have a pretty good chance of messing up.
I'm kinda torn about posting the times that I run on here becaues I know that a lot of people visit this website, just because they hate hummers. I don't want to give them any ammo, but at the same time, I think it would be good for some of us to know just how slow our trucks actually are.
Wish me luck!

I know, but it'll help put me at ease. Other car is a 520rwhp 03 cobra. should be good for 11.4-11.8 @ 123-128 mph.
My best guess on what the truck will do is mid 18's @ 80. I wanna see if I can get a 2.4 sec 60' out of her tonight
