Great turnout! Had alot of fun until I got screwed on the first round of time trails. I'm doing my burnout and the person in the lane next goes and stages both lights. I go to stage and trip the first light and the person next to me goes and deep stages as he's doing that I'm tripping the second bulb and the starter started the tree as I'm staging and it red lighted me. He wouldn't let me go again and run the next person, that was a bunch of shit! So I end up making some passes in the fun lane. Ran 12.8s most of the day. The car was hooking hard all day. Last pass it's dead hooking every gear I get on the return road and I hear a noise didn't think to much about it, went to the pits and changed the tires(Thanks Drew). We go to leave and the car is clunking loud and feels like its dragging when it does it. Looks like I broke something in the right rear or in the diff [Eek!] So I ended up going home on a Trailer. BIG THANKS to Mike aka 2Stangs for putting my car on his trailer and taking it home for me, I owe you one.

Sorry man, I think I was the guy racing you (I was in a stock looking white coupe)I didn't think I was doing anything wrong but when I took off and you didn't go I knew something was up.

It's cool. It was the starter who messed up by starting the tree before I was fully staged. How many rounds did you go?

Sorry to hear about the breakage Mark. I saw the run between you and SF. I was trying to figure out what happened as I couldn't see the lights for crap where I was at.

Good to see you solidly in the 12s now though even with the temps being a lil high.

I got me a new best also but it's not that impressive. I'll wait till the turbo is on to brag Hahaha

I had a blast at the all Fords race. I was able to lose my first race on my own with no help from the crew at the track LOL. But I did set some new best's 11.41 and 124 mph [Eek!] the 160,000 mile short block keeps rolling on(smokes a little on start up now)I just wish they would of let us race up to 5.00. I could smell a 11.30 Some day I will put drag slics on it to see what it will do.

What long day that was, got to the track at 9 a.m. and stayed thru the grudge match. But it was fun. I rolled out with sac 5.0 to snap some pics of his car and help him out since saturday was the first time he took a full pass since building his car, on his very first run (wednesday night)an upper control arm broke right off the line. Next race it will have skinnies and the front headlights on.

Good seeing some friends out there on the track seeing there cars go! It was good talking to you 2 stangs.

The only question I have is, who was the dude that was ripping the tires every were but where he was suppose to in the Black newer GT? Then he was gona take a gas can in his passenger seat down the track with him! not too bright But I guess he will learn.

Oh yeah that chick in the red Lighting was very cute as well!
 
Posted by 2stangs69-91 (Member # 1951) on :
 
Yes it was George's Nova. They were actualy talking about a guy in a white mid 60's nova wanting to run them for some cash. Sounds like everybody had a good time. Anybody take any pics or video's.

Cool, I only went two more rounds because I had to get back to the city. I got a total of 7 runs in and a new best of 13.69 @ 103.4.

"BTW, still interested in that Prochamber?"

How much? I am going to be buying a new set of headers soon so I will also need a X, H or chamber. LMK

"not hitting on her man, but you are more then right on that statement. It's hard to find a hot chick in a sweet ride!"

It ok, if I were to get upset everytime someone hit on my wife I would be the madest person in the world. [Cool]
The price you pay when you marry a HOT CHICK! [Mad]

I'm just glad i'm Dons friend. Him having a hot wife is just an added bonus.... [Wink]

Oh yea.. The racing was great. A lot of fast cars there. I didnt do good but it's ok. Once i get some nice new et streets i will do a lot better. But i did get a nice MPH, 103. Not TOO bad for a few bolt-ons....

Well i sure wish i could have made it. Sorry about your rear Mark. Sounds like a fun time though. [Smile]

That is un freakining believiable!! Mike [worship] [worship] [worship] your car hauls! TWO.. enthusiastic thumbs up!! Pretty soon the 'Brain' will be doing your ironing [Big Grin] Serious though,. congrats.
 
Posted by 2stangs69-91 (Member # 1951) on :
 
thanks, I was surprised buy the mph myself. I missed 3rd on my first pass and hit 120 so I knew it was going to fly. My best pass it was still spinning I didn't realize they weren't going to do track prep since it was a rented event. But it was still a blast. I was looking for you but Drew told me you had to work. You have a evil boss LOL.
I can give the Brain some trouble now as long as he keeps racing me on bald ET streets with cord's showing LOL. But he just bought some new tires so no rematches [Wink] Make sure you get the 19'th off. WE need you

I'll be back SOON !!!
My car hasn't been 60ft-ing worth a crap so I have been out of the "hunt" for awhile
Found that my ET Street still have the "tread" lines AND cords coming out of them [Roll Eyes]
Should get my new 27x10.50 Hoosier Quick Time Pros today [Big Grin]

Next on the list is an AJE k-member, Strange struts and shock and coil-overs on all 4 corners
Just need to sell a 95 Windstar (which a customer gave to me after blowing the headgaskets)
The van is all fixed now and books for $5600 [Eek!]
Probably going to dump it for $4500 to get some "racecar" $$$$$

Posted by TheBrain (Member # 35) on :
 
My 27x10.50 ET Street NEVER hooked as well as my 26x8.50 ET Drag !!!

Rhetts only chance to run is on wed nights out at Sac, so he has to have a DOT tire now.

I he'll be borrowing my ET Drags when he needs the extra hook [patriot]
