Fun in an Audi R8!






My boss, Tracy, owns iFurn Furniture, PainRelieverStores and Lifetime Jewelry and has done pretty well for himself. Well enough to buy a a rare 2008 Audi R8 with a one-off carbon fiber kit. A couple weeks ago he took me and Ben, a fellow co-worker, to the Kansas International Dragway for some fun. We each made several passes down the quarter mile strip, but at first we couldn't seem get the hang of the staging light. Each of us had our worst reaction time on the first run and then slowly improved with each time. We learned that you need to 'stomp on it' as you see the last light turn yellow rather than waiting for the green. My best time down the quarter mile was a 13.22 at 109 mph. Anyways I had a blast. Enjoy the car pics! For information regarding the car acceleration or even the quarter mile times of this car and many other, I encourage you to visit the hyper-linked 0-60 web site. This car website features numerous car stats, including this Audi R8. Check it out today!
