OK guys post up how you eventually did.
Like Marc posted in another thread the place was packed i beleieve over 200 cars
Only got 3 runs in and then headed home
Not too shabby for the 18's they hooked pretty damn good but not as well as the MT's.
1st pass - 11.85 @ 119 1.827 60' 2nd pass - 11.79 @ 121 1.853 60 ' 3rd pass - 11.69 @ 122 1.829 60 '
Still never got a "really clean" pass w/o a little spin or hop at the top of first..........i'm dyinh to put on some skinnies and the MT's again to oficially get kicked out.
Nice to see all you guys out there [ October 02, 2005, 11:48 AM: Message edited by: TRIXSNK ]

Hey guys...sorry to hear about how crowded it was... I there was like 20 or less cars there on Friday.
TnT is going to Saturdays in November.

Yup.
I impersonated a kangeroo on my launches. Then went slow. At least it is now running reliably and most of the leaks are fixed.

Hey I think I was behind You on the last run of the nite at 9:30 in lane 1, does Your lincese plate frame read "have You chased a ford lately"? Anyway's I was in the white notch. And tony I would wind it up in first and click it into second and it would stay in first and hit the rev limiter! Fuckin tranny shop WILL bed pulling it out monday to correct the problem!

Did anyone see the Black Foxbody with Black 10-holers....He was running like 12.5's....I think his name is Marcus..
I was kind of impressed because it sounded pretty stock but it hooked well too...Just wanted to know his mods and suspension...

Ya, those guys (in the primer black Fox's) are normally show for Grudge. Pretty basic combos, with either Nitrous or the one who is S/C'd. They have a small chip on their shoulder, as they were mentioned here on the board as to "all having stroker engines" due to the times they were running. I talked with them for a bit last night. I told'em not to sweat it; who cares what you've got under the hood...
..just run the number.

Yeah I have met some of those guy's and they just seem to hang with the people they roll in with? I like watching them do the burnout's as it look's like a mini sideshow ! they seem to pull some good 60's but their tires can't be lasting long . I think one of them posts under the screen name REDRalleyEyes or something, but The Guy in their crew I saw run last night ran a 11.3 which I think is pretty good for a street car and a couple others were high to mid eleven's so congrat's to them.

yeah I've met Chris (redralleyeys)...he sold me the wheels on my "race" car....He's pretty cool and always has something for sale....
for all of them having stroker motors....they're cars seemed pretty quiet...or maybe mine is just too damn loud....
and the black primer fox with the s/c and spare tires on front was pretty fast.....
I would really like to know what they run for suspension though.....
them and the 86 Gt that ran a 10.85 on spray....

Never got a chance to check out the primered stangs. They really didn't seem open to conversation but i overheard one of them with timing problems i think
Anyway gotta give a shout out to Evan and Rob and the rest of their crew for running mid 11's w/ 1.50 60fts @ 110mph N/A......but it looked like a peg-leg on the last burn-out i saw
