(3/10). I saw this wicked LX notch, small tire car, clicking off a 9.10, and at Infineon, thats a 8 sec pass ANYWHERE else on the planet.<br /><br />If it wasnt you, then someone out there can provide you with some serious competition. I have heard the guy is an airline pilot. But, if its you, only you know if thats true or not.<br /><br />If you are the guy with the 8 second Mustang LX notch, that ran a 9.10 at Infineon on a wednesday night(short of a miracle I might add), then:<br /> <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/worship.gif" /> <br /><br />I will come introduce myself sometime. I am the guy with the blacked out Mark VIII that runs in street sometimes. I am there with my buddy who runs a 9 second car as well.<br /><br />Nothing finer than a small tire car running 8's. People just dont know how squirley a short wheelbase car, with small rear tires can get at 150+ MPH. Nice job. I am amazed.(and so were about 350+ spectators last night).<br /> <br /> <small>[ March 11, 2004, 07:50 AM: Message edited by: Blackicelsc ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>FasterDamnit</b> <br /><small>Member # 442</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,2,11,14,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> If it was green notch and the driver was an airline pilot, that's Kevin. <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>KevinL</b> <br /><small>Member # 2428</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,2,12,11,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Yup, that was me.
