Dudes, Only 40 cars showed up. I think I got somewhere around 15 runs in. Thanks to Bunchmyfunky for letting me borrow his ET Streets.

The fastest I drove my car was:

60 ft: 1.76
ET: 12.4
MPH: 108

Ikes run:

60 ft: 1.72
ET: 12.19
MPH: 112.4

Then comes along the driver..."DREW" On the last run of the night [worship] [worship]

60 ft: 1.65
ET: 12.04
MPH: 112.7

I couldn't believe it. Oh yeah guess what....I picked some 3.73s tonight. They should be in by Friday [Big Grin] Drew commented that he should of been in the 11.xxx, but I had too much gas in the car [Mad]

Man, I am one happy guy. Look out 11s here I come. [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

Oh one last thing, my wife jumped in and took it down the track. It was her first time...

60ft: 2.5
ET: 13.6
MPH:105.5

Hehe, Elwin I beat you home & to the computer by only two minutes, and you have to drive clear to Dixon, while I'm in Sac. I saw you run, and saw that 12.19 run, but not Drew's. I can't wait to see your car consistently in the 11s. [worship]

Mike, you don't need to do too much more and you'll be in the low 13s. Great seeing you tonight. Hope to see you out there soon.

Elwin

Congrats, but I'm kinda disapointed. Drew only beat your MPH by .3 MPH. I've come to expect the usual 1-2 MPH over the owners best trap speed. I think he's starting to slip [Big Grin]

This is SO SO true. I was scared to actually LAUNCH Elwins car with the stock gears and clutch. But then I heard that Ike went ahead and did it so I figured I could give it a shot. I'm not sure why I couldn't get more MPH out of Elwins car though. I must be losing my touch.

I found that statement funny.

You got 3 tenths and 2 mph more out of my car on the same night. So either you're losing your touch, or I'm a terrible driver. Maybe a little of both? [Wink]

If I could had run it one more time when it was a little colder out I think I would of had it where drew was!!! [Wink] But we did run the shit out of it and it needed a long rest!!!!

Congrats on the new best time! I saw your car run and it looked very strong man. Good luck on getting your 11's!

I watched Drew take 93PONY's car into the CAfords top ten with an 11.5 pass at 124.8 [Eek!] [worship] Also congrats to Penninsula302 on his first time with the 5.0 at the track. He hit a 13.87 [Whoo Whooooo!]

That pass was lame. Given another chance I would almost promise you 11.3 [Wink] (Yes the car is that strong, and yes, I didn't leave that much on the table)

I guess it was my night. [Smile]

On the way to the track some honda POS reved on me....some guy with his GF I think. I reved back & she flashed me! [Eek!]

Then Drew pulls off that run with a bogging 60ft....& on the way home 2 chics in an LS1 asked to go for a ride. [Big Grin]

But the absolute BEST part of the night......no broken parts!

Here's Drew's run. BTW, this is by the seat of his pants. Tach & shiftlight are non-functional at the moment.

60ft: 1.899
330ft: 4.991
1/8th: 7.515 @ 98.6mph
1/4: 11.508 @ 124.888 [worship]

Time to up the boost to 10 maybe??? Perhaps drop the front swaybar & slap on a set of skinnies & slicks??? Nahhh.....it's just a weak-nuts street-car. [Razz]
[patriot]

Congrats Shaun!!! I like the 10# idea myself. What were you dyno #'s again... [Wink]

Nice driving Drew! [burnout]

anyone happen to see what the teal coupe was running on radials last night? guy named chris I think owns it...said 'nasty notch' on the back window. saw/met him in the tech line but never got a chance to see him run.
 
Posted by My01Stang (Member # 1044) on :
 
It was nice meeting all of you last night. It was a great night, with only 40 cars there. We did alot of hot lapping [Big Grin]

There was a great showing of MUSTANGs, and a fair share of LS1s. All in all a great night.

The green notch, was running great. The only problem was tire spin for him, but at the end of the night he got the hang of it and was rolling.
 
Posted by jayl (Member # 185) on :
 
nice to meet ya and good times on the gt man! let me know how you like those 3.73's!

nasty notch: he's my friend chris, he was havin some issues and ended up with a 12.6 @ 112 spinning, that car still has smog and cat crap too.

it was also fun to watch my friend go 12.9@109 in a stock ls1 with a lid, on stock tires. [Eek!] [Big Grin]
 
Posted by shade-tree (Member # 298) on :
 
great runs everybody, wish I coulda' been there.

wheel studs > me

so what's the list of people still trying to make an 11 (with themselves driving [Wink] )
me, fasterdamnit(?), shaun, Elwin, ... ?
 
Posted by soslo (Member # 1748) on :
 
I am somewhat new here, and don't post often, but I was at grudge night yesterday and it was a blast. I got 12 runs in, and also made my first 12 second pass (barely) w/ a 12.99 @ 109.6 on a 2.06 60'

I can't wait to get the 4.10s in and get it tuned [Big Grin]
 
Posted by treynor (Member # 1854) on :
 
That was a blast -- with so few cars there, we got a ton of runs in. I got my first 11-second pass in the Benz, and my wife (with a bit of practice) smoked the doors off this LS1:

AARRRGHH!!!!!

I REALLY wanted to do grudge and T&T. BIG congrats to Sean and Elwin. Those are excellent numbers. Too bad Sean has such a sh*tty cam [Razz]

Guess I have to step up to something a bit stronger than the stage 1.

I couldn't believe that 1.65 60ft with stock gears. I kept looing up at the board thinking it was a 1.85...lol I didn't even think that was possible in a full weight GT with stock clucth and gears [dance]
 
Posted by PeNiNsula302 (Member # 1061) on :
 
Congrats to everyone and their runs! It was my first night running and i pulled a best of 13.8 with a 1.9 60ft @ 98mph. I know i will drop that next time, thanks again Shaun for the timing check and advice!! Another thing im happy about is hitting 99mph on a 14.0 run with a 2.1 60 ft! Im hoping i can pull a 1.9 with the 99mph next time, breaking into the 13's some more...

SoSlo- where you the black trans am that i pulled off the line pretty hard? I had a black 90 with a saleen kit, chrome cobra r's....If so i have great footage of that run, lol until you catch up and beat the shit out of me.

last night at the street races chris said he ran a 12.3 @ 112 with nittos. you're talking about the notch with the plates "YUH8N2" or some shit from san lorenzo, right? If so that is still the best smelling car i have ever been in.

Hey Paintjob, I think we are talking about the same guy. I met him in the staging lanes last night when they opened up tech just a few minutes before 5...really cool guy. I was with my friend Scott from Chassisworks with a backhalf nova...primered gray front half with a bare metal and bondo rear half [Smile] ...you would have been proud Paintjob [Wink]

yes that was my friend rorys stock ls1 you "smoked" congrats........how much did that benz cost you, just curious?
 
Posted by shade-tree (Member # 298) on :
 
who cares how much it cost? win light is a winlight [Razz]

(I'm just happy the losing car wasn't a stang [Big Grin] )
 
Posted by treynor (Member # 1854) on :
 
> yes that was my friend rorys stock ls1 you "smoked" congrats

Actually, my wife did the "smoking"that round [Big Grin]

All in all, we both won some and lost some that evening. I think I was 50/50 against Mustangs, of various ilks, but most of the time I was concentrating on driving rather than on who I was racing, so that figure could be off.
 
Posted by jayl (Member # 185) on :
 
maybe i put the question of price to close to my complaining about a loss. Let me try again because ive never seen a benz like that.

How much do those run?
 
Posted by treynor (Member # 1854) on :
 
> How much do those run?

Err... about $2K/month.
 
Posted by Red C5 (Member # 1561) on :
 
Congrats on the 11.9 pass Ben. I knew you could do it. As soon as I saw you light up 1.8 60' I yelled out "11.9". Too bad I left my camcorder in the car. [Frown]
 
Posted by treynor (Member # 1854) on :
 
Thanks Peter - I'm disappointed I didn't get it on tape, but there will be others. I was hotlapping for that pass; I imagine it's got a bit more in it with a good cool-down.

Going back for grudge night on 4/12?
 
Posted by Fast477Mach1 (Member # 2559) on :
 
So did anyone see what looked like a GT350 run. If so what was up with that car it was kicking ass all night but getting off the line a little slow. Whats in that thing (engine & suspension)
 
Posted by Andrew WOT (Member # 1249) on :
 
That was a great night. Arrived an hour late and managed 14 runs, could have more if wasn't skipping some.
Ran my new best 13.36@102.678, that's 98 NA Auto GT with PI headswap, hope that good tranny programming by fordchip guys will shave an extra tenth or two.

Posted by Andrew WOT (Member # 1249) on :
 
Thanks, 1.85 60' on BFG DR.
Mark, are you planing to do some cams? There is GP on new billet Comp Cams going on on the corral. Very tempting.

I'm putting in a new tranny, LTs, O/R X and a spec II clutch. Cams are out for a while. But they are in my future plans.
