Made my FIRST pass ever at Bandimere in my 1971 elco with PFI speed We almost didn't make it.. AGAIN

Hitting the track for my first time EVER!! I've always just been a photographer/cheerleader at the tracks, so this time, it's my time to shine! 😊🤩 There always has to be obstacles to overcome of course, but that's what makes this journey so incredibly special! My dad always wanted to take his 71 elcamino to bandimere, so to me... This was like living for him, through him, through the Elco ..idk ... what a great day! 🤙 Thanks goes to brent appreciate you hun. 🙏

It will get easier and quicker in no time. Keep up the good work!

[@skullyghost]

you rock girl awesome job

[@bleepbloopblahp]

Thanks for sharing such a personal and emotional moment. Brent is rad and an awesome co-pilot. It seems that your Dad is an even better co-pilot! Lets Go! I am pretty sure that PFI shirt is good for an extra 50hp at least. So good to see you get down Bandimere, you won the race just by getting to drive down that strip. Stay Awesome!

[@boostedbeautyphotography]

Hell ya girl so proud you got to race the el camino❤ And girl you can shift 🤘

[@kirstieskarz]

Awe shucks got me blushing. Love ya chick!

[@niwaya5876]

Proud of you Ms Kristie your doing amazing job on the track 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@kirstieskarz]

Thank you so much!!

[@79tazman]

That's awesome keep working at it there are many things to do to go faster Working on your RT is another way of getting faster too but it will take time and practice and you will get it.

[@kirstieskarz]

Thanks for the tips!

[@DaveAppleton]

Women are the quickest drag racers, there I said it. Way to go girl, that was a great first experience. Big up to Brent for helping you.

[@calialex]

If that 4th gear wasn't that long easy high 15

[@davidreed6070]

Those wide ratio muncies have a big change between third and fourth. She needs a lower rear gear, 350 or 370.

[@2010evox4b11]

Thank you for not editing out the emotions and teaming up with PFI was and is a great decision. Keep it up young lady. You just earned a new subscriber. Keep on climbing because is just going to get better.

[@kirstieskarz]

Thank you so much for the support man! I always try to keep it real!!

[@michaeljamison8254]

Way to go! Car sounds real good. Double rainbows are way awesome, one of my favorite photographs is of one.

[@minesbetter3504]

I've been going to the track on and off for 20 years now (crazy for me to even say...) and I still get anxious every first run. lol. Just means you love it and really want it.

[@BenjySparky]

Kristie and Brent, y'all rock! Proud of you, girl. Brent is an awesome friend and positive guy. I know your dad is happy. Peace

Glad it worked out this time. 😊

[@thelaughingman79]

i just discovered your channel today and am really enjoying it. i lost my dad 7 years ago and he taught me everything about how to be a man how to deal with people mechanical and carpentry skills. he was a boisterous charismatic alpha male type who was always there for me. he was always my best friend. and i know how hard it is to march fourth through time without your dad. I'm sure you make him proud. and i love the wall you have as a tribute. good look with your channel from your newest subscriber.

[@darkblaze176]

Dad's are a very Important part of a persons life. It sounds like your father was a very amazing man and extremely influential. I'm sure he is looking down with a huge smile on his face

[@johnmorgan4921]

[@davidreed6070]

Leave on the third yellow light. I love it.

[@jasonlavertu6894]

Great job Kristie!! Dream come true!😍

[@kirstieskarz]

Thank you!! 😊

[@VernLeRoy1962]

Seems the ElCo needs a shift light &/or a RPM limiter & a 150 Shot of spray! Kirstie now it's your turn, little by little upgrade the Elco, by the time it's a 12 second Car around 113 in the 1/4, You will really be having the time of your life. I look forward to seeing your channel grow! I'm a PFI Fan convert

[@kirstieskarz]

You got thay right! It really does! And I'm pushing hard for these goal! 🙌💪 just need the money 😭😅 but slowly but surely I'm going to get it done! Thanks for the support!!💯

[@heres2ya]

Brent, that's such a proud moment for you!. i was riding along the whole way. my emotions were the same when i went with my daughters first pass.

[@kirstieskarz]

I'm his girlfriend. But he was proud nonetheless, I've been waiting to make that pass!😁 good on you for taking your daughter down the track. Just took my daughter to bandimere yesterday😁

[@jimpettit6310]

Congratulations! Great vid, good on Brent for being there no matter what! And like others said thanks for not editing out the emotions. My dad passed in 2016. Although he wasn't into drag racing, his thing was his boats and walleye/Perch fishing. So everytime I'm out I think I feel his presence

[@kirstieskarz]

I'm so sorry for your loss 🥺🫶 the pain is all too real man I send you sincere sympathy. Keep pushing to make your pops proud! 💪you feel his presence, because he is so very present!

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

[@ryurc3033]

Sounds so good, lots of people won't even get their car to a track. Faster each time. You have to keep going and you will get better and better. Gotta watch more . Good luck. I hope I can get my 72 Chevelle put together before too long. It will be a stock 5.3, and 4 speed Saginaw. Just make it work somehow.

[@troymyers5181]

Damn good shifting/rowing the gears. Not the easiest thing to do, a lot of times people miss 3rd due to nerves ect. You did it like a pro- nice job. Excited for you getting some seat time at the track. The launch will get better with practice and patience. Keep it up.

[@kirstieskarz]

Thank you 🥹❤

Brent its time to work on your truck at the Shop, got to stop servicing it on the side of the Freeway!

[@PaulRhodes420]

The bug has bitten, it's on now! I know your Dad is smiling as you make each pass! Watch that light, it's not a traffic light, it's a pedal to the metal timing light! Launch that 71 El Camino full throttle, you'll get there! More seat time, the better you'll get! Give it all she's got! Happy for you! This made me Sub your channel, I'm gonna have fun watching you become the next heavy hitter! Besides, I love the 71 Chevelle SS and El Camino's! My kinda girl! Practice burnouts too...heat them tires up! You got this! Put a Turbo on it, but after you've had more seat time! Stay safe, have fun! I did, I had a 71 Chevelle SS in my younger days! ('83-86) 12's-13 in the 1/4!

[@nutscratchermag58]

😆 your terror was very entertaining 🍿, well done now do it again hahahaha 🇦🇺 🌈

What? Lol
