How organized did you LS1 guys want to make this and what time frame were you looking to do this?
 
Posted by shade-tree (Member # 298) on :
 
I'm down, probably not much point in running on motor though, given that I'm down what? 34 cubes? [Big Grin]

if I'm lucky, the Merkur could be back in action, might ask a friend to bring it for me.

I'm there. There's nothing like eating LS1's and craping a Dodge [Big Grin]
 
Posted by FasterDamnit (Member # 442) on :
 
LOL!
Good one, Elwin! I think the Vette LS1's are the tastiest. [patriot]
 
Posted by Red C5 (Member # 1561) on :
 
Sounds like fun. I have a few in mind that I need to have a little re-match with. [Smile] I'd post the list but I think it'd be too long. [Frown]

LOL!
All you need is some traction. Then you will be deep into the 11's. [patriot] [burnout]
 
Posted by Red C5 (Member # 1561) on :
 
You're on the list. [Smile] Traction is overrated anyway. Last time out I ran a 12.0 and I really do not want to do the cage so I may stay there for a while. Wonder what I'd run if I took off the street tires on put on DRs.
 
Posted by F8LPONY (Member # 11) on :
 
Were going to find out because I aint letting race on street tires again! [Razz]

You must be a heck of a lot faster than your signature says because there will be some low 11 and some high 10 cars there for you to eat [Big Grin]
 
Posted by shade-tree (Member # 298) on :
 
10 second Viper(s) will be there? LOL.

next somebody's going to tell me that the "fast" LS1's are all running again [patriot]
 
Posted by Red C5 (Member # 1561) on :
 
Shade-Tree on the list too. [patriot] A lot of people kicked my ass at the track. [Embarrassed]

F8LPONY - What's wrong with me running on street tires? A lot of poeple want to race my 12 second car. [Big Grin]

Forgive me if I sound rude, but how many 10 second heads/cam/"small shot" LS1's should I be expecting at the next grudge match?

I will be taking notes, lol. [Whoo Whooooo!]
 
Posted by F8LPONY (Member # 11) on :
 
I doubt we will all be back by May 31st but pretty close to that date there should be 4 of us. Soon after there will be another and whoever buys Postal's car will have a high 9 capable car. The # of cars in the low 12's and 11's is getting scary though.

We still can't compete with the big dogs here then again most of the big dogs here dont post much at all.
 
Posted by st5150 (Member # 51) on :
 
Big dogs are too busy racing to post much [Wink] They enjoy the racing part more than the 'taking about racing on the internet' part.... which explains why they're the big dogs [worship]

I'm talking with 12sec_Stock Freak via PM's about organizing something. What date works best for you guys? Keep in mind date conflicts with the big June 28 car show we're having.

Yeah, that's why I spent 10 minutes using a spray bomb. To impress people that like to look at cars standing still w/ the motor off. You caught me, Sherlock. Damn.

Nobody. They are there for functional reasons. The pedals look like crap. But I don't slip off the clutch pedal anymore. The pads were for the 12 hour round trip to Palmdale.

I like the tail light lenses on the green car, same for the cheap cop rims w/ rattle can body color, and my calipers are sill dirty grey.

In this "Pony vs GM" grudge, can i race for the GM side? that way i can beat up on all the CAFords fags that think they're fast.

Plus I'd feel bad about beating norcal-ls1's president, eventhough his car's slow, he's still a nice guy.
 
Posted by F8LPONY (Member # 11) on :
 
Hahaha

Dude, we're putting you in a category all by yourself so all of us can lay the smack down on you!

Your sister can race on our side though Hahahahaha

Posted by st5150 (Member # 51) on :
 
TTT

So here is what we're considering....

Each side picks 20ish cars and ranks them fastest to slowest:

#1 Ford races #1 GM, #2 Ford races #2 GM and so forth and so on.

The Ford's should have the upper hand with the faster cars, and the GM's should have the upper end with the "slower" cars, so it should even out at the end.

I know i'm not the fastest Ford but i'd like to race the fastest LS1. Gotta represent my license plate and all. [Big Grin]

If your going to be running high 11's, (what it says in your sig), this will be the type of event where one will be warned, but not given the boot [burnout]
 
Posted by aslowdodge (Member # 854) on :
 
errr what about low 11's-the boot?

I wasn't so much asking for myself as I drive a dodge so probably can't participate even thoug h I am a member of nor cal ls1.But I think there will be a fair amount of cars on both sides that might do so.

If I could run I think low 11's with a decent chance of high 10's are possible since I have an extra 150 hp since the last run so I'd probably get the boot. [Frown]

I'd really like to watch the fast guys on both camps run though
 
Posted by F8LPONY (Member # 11) on :
 
I'm sure all track/NHRA rules will be enforced.
