First thing... Man that place was packed. I can't believe there were that many cars out there. We had a great Mustang showing.

I had a great night. The night started off slow. Here are time slips: 1. 13.2 @109.7 2. 13.0 @110.6 3. 13.1 @ 106.5 4. 13.0 @ 103.1 Iwas doing a little bracket racing. You know trying to win the trophy Then I said screw it.

I ran my best time to date. 60ft: 1.96 ET: 12.58 MPH: 111.99 on Nitto's

I broke out. but a least it was to another Mustang I 'm stoked about my times. Hope to hear from some of the other guys that were out there.

ELwin

Trust me my first run was my worst nightmare 14.58,2.4 60foot, 100.1 mph with a "I fell asleep" 1.169 reaction time I think it was the combo effect, cold track, crappy tires an crappier driving.

On a different note, is it always that busy on wed. nights? I was talking to one of the track guys and he was saying the best time to go is when they switch to fri. nights as they really prep the track. He also said they didn't use any VHT tonight because the track temp was only 49-53 degrees and that was to cold. Anyone have any inside info if thats true or not?

I let you down man. i ran a best of 12.21@118.06 but i had the worst 60 foot time of the night on that run with a 2.11 If i get that down i to the usual 1.9 or 2.0 I might be able to get it! Great job Elwin and 98Slowhoe on both of your guys new best!

I thought the track was hookin pretty good for a wed night. Then again, street tires always suck on Weds

My new best on a motor that doesnt make power past 5.5k rpm is:


60': 1.58
ET: 11.650
MPH: 115.7


Now if I can only figure out what the problem is I'll be happy

Grats to you guys!

I think I heard the S-trim'd 01', sounded really good.

I got a 13.8 with my sprayin' v6. That was the first run I have ever done in my life. My 60ft was like 1.6. I thought once you got to the signs you were done....if I kept going I probably woulda done a little better. I'm hoping for a 13.5 soon. I only got 3 lousy runs.....other fools in lane 9 and 6 were getting hella runs...what's up with that?

Mike

Another thing...hella fool's were hating and talking shit about my v6....why can't people mind their own business. I did get a lot of compliments on the hood though. A lot of people tripped on the 1/4 time too.

talkin shit to your face? thats rare......because usually pussies talk shit behind backs where they belong......i hate that crap

Posted by mike22ca (Member # 1675) on :
 
No not to my face, just around...my buddies heard and shit. Then some bitch in a LT1 Camaro that ran like a 14.00 was trying to talk shit. We basically told her to F*ck Off. Dumb cunt.

Shawn,

I need to talk to you about my cam anyway so hit me up.

Mike22ca,

Actually I was in lane 9 and I got there at 3:30, I got 3 runs in by 8pm then left. It was all the imports in lane 7 that went on for hours at a time.

When I get thr nitrous hooked up on the truck we should run sometime. We're the underdogs, V6 vs Z71

Posted by mike22ca (Member # 1675) on :
 
It's great being an underdog!

Posted by PSYCHORAM (Member # 2000) on :
 
60ft: 2.8

Besides the traction problems I think you all did well.

Yeah.. people were talking a gang of crap out there. I was standing right next to that chick in that Camero for a little while. I made sure she saw my hat.. Ford with flames on the bill!

So many Mustangs.. it was beautiful!

Hope to run the SVT Contour sometime. Although I would be with the imports.

First of all, congradulations to Aaron and Elwin for reaching there goals. Good job guys

Second, some of you guys need to make you presence known when your out there, (mike22ca and Mach1driver). I had know idea you guys were from the boards. Come say whats up next time

Mach1driver, we raced in the 3rd round. It was close at the start, but everytime you shifted I gain on you......there is deffinately more in your car man, so don't get discouraged

Well if you didn't sit in the staging lanes purging your nitrous all night, i bet people wouldn't talk as much shit

I second that. I talked to you for a little bit and I liked the Hood, but one Purge is all that is needed. I am not talking "shit" in anyway. thats why people were talking "shit". But any ways nice to meet you.

Juan!!!!! What happen man? You'll do it next time, my son!

Posted by LS Juan (Member # 2107) on :
