Ah, fuck CMI says, "ALL MUSTANGS" [Big Grin] should be fun and gives everyone another reason to get together. As I said I think it would be cool to BBQ somewhere, then cruise out to the track race your shit, and then afterwords cruise out together. Any takers?

Mustang Madness is next week! Who is going; who is not? Is everyone going to find their own way out there, or do people want to meet up? We need to get a game plan going. It would be cool to roll out as a group. As I said b4, it would be fun if after the event we had a little fun; ya?

i did my best to rush edlebrock in getting my new intake here in time...but they finally called on thursaday and said it was back from the polisher and will be in my hands middle of next week. so...i guess that means i'll be taking a seat instead of handing them out.

Letting you guys know that road is close going into the track at Jackson HWY and may not be open on saturday due to widening of Jaskson HWY.You have go in the backway through Mather Airport.

How did this event go?
 
Posted by Notch1320 (Member # 2647) on :
 
Not as many cars as I expected to see, but there were a couple quick rides.

I was there with my car sorting out the "new car" bugs, and working through clutch problems. I didn't get a good pass at all, but made a couple adjustments...some in the right direction, and some in the wrong.

I was not at all impressed with Sac Raceway when it came to the water box. If you are going to have an event that has classes specifically for car running slicks, have someone to tend to the water boxes!!!

I realize that the majority of the cars there were street tire cars that avoid the water, but when you have to stop, and wave down the starter to put down some water almost every pass, and he gives you attitude about it...I was not impressed!

For the money you have to put out to race there, you would think that they could have a dedicated "water boy"

So Mustang Madness was really Mustang SADNESS. Oh well glad I didn't go. I hope sac doesn't get lazy for track prep!!!
 
Posted by hallbros (Member # 5929) on :
 
We made 8 passes at Mustang Madness we had 7 1.48 60' times and 1 1.51 60'. Sunday at the Summit series race we made 7 passes, all 1.46 60' times in the left lane, 2 1.48's in the right(lost coin flips). We had no troubles whatsoever downtrack either day......but then again we're not trying to set any records with a conservative 10.90-11.00 set up.

How many cars were there and how many time trials did you get before the eliminations started?
 
Posted by 03SVT (Member # 5987) on :
 
A lockdown03. I know for a fact that if you had another set of tires instead of those nittos like the mickey thompson or the BFG's you would of a cut 1.5 to 1.7 in your sleep as far as 60 foot times. THose are by far the sh*ttiest Drag radials money can buy only good for the street. Never purchase Nittos with that much horsepower

Were you at the track on SAturday?I met alot cool people [Smile] ,Next time i will try another sets of tires that is for sure.

Who had the two-tone 03-04 Cobra red and dark red or black. Running the slicks slipping and sliding.
 
Posted by LS1EATR (Member # 2702) on :
 
man that cobra two tone was crazy it was all over the place, I'll say the pressure on those tires were to low.. [Eek!]
 
Posted by rgtrahn (Member # 7133) on :
 
Wow someone else saw that! When he went to race Lockdown he tired to burn out and couldn't muster it. The rear left tire basically looked flat!
 
Posted by phat50 (Member # 1998) on :
 
That cobra was all over the place. Who had the red or i think it was burgandy gt foxbody with a really loud whine? Really clean car!

I have a picture of that foxbody your talking about, but not sure if it would be okay if I post his pictures, but yea it was pretty fast I think he ran 11.4 on slicks, met the guy in a cruise [patriot]
 
Posted by phat50 (Member # 1998) on :

anybody get a picture of that silver and black 86 four eye t-top?
 
Posted by 89Rodknocker (Member # 2951) on :
 
The red Gt was my boys car. Nice car I didn't think it had 11.40's in it. I got some video of most of the cars there but can't find my usb cable to down load it. As soon as I can I'll post some videos.
 
Posted by LS1EATR (Member # 2702) on :
 
i thought he got that, might be wrong, but o well.. [patriot]
 
Posted by RockerShocker (Member # 6219) on :
 
Yeah, that cobra REALLY needed to up the tire pressure. And the fox with the T-trim was fairly fast for what was done. But man, with a better set of heads it could have been so much faster.
 
Posted by RockerShocker (Member # 6219) on :
 
I left early, really expected more cars. pretty sad. And whats with all the supercharged 05's not able to get out of the 13's...sad.

Wow, really [Confused]

I bolted on a cold air, tune, 17" drag radials and ran a 12.9 first/only run. Talk about shitty drivers!
