Hey RiddlerGT, was your buddy in the silver lightning alone? I raced a guy in a silver lightning and it was a very VERY good race. Here are the times..
Lightning - Me
1.188 : R/T : .982
2.30 : 60' : 2.39
6.05 : 330' : 6.08
9.08 : 1/8 : 9.10
81.07 : MPH : 81.53
13.956 : 1/4 : 13.960
100.75 : MPH : 101.20
Let me know if that was your buddy!
Looks like a good race for Sawson

Who, me or the lightning? I also got that race on tape! If its your buddy and he wants a dub, let me know! It was a cool race. The only thing that is kinda weak about it, is that the time clocks weren't working today, so we only know the times becuase of the slips. It woulda looked cool to have on the tape at the end of the race

Give me a 'lil more respect than that, Look at the reaction times... I'd be 4-7 car lengths ahead at the finish line ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Here is a video of me racing a white automatic LT1 on a bum clutch last summer:
http://www.californiafords.com/mpg/smoked_clutch_and_beat_lt1.mpg Now this race was close! I think I won by 0.04 seconds... all on the tree.

That is what he beat me by .004 Yeah the R/T time was a lil high, thats why I thought that I won becuase at the end of the run, he was about a 1/4 length back, but after I saw his R/T, I understood why he got me! It was a close one though!
Aww, you can't even see what the LT1 ran. Don't get me wrong, I take your word, but it would have looked cool to see BOTH times. That is why I was mad that the clocks weren't wroking today, becuase my buddy got that run on tape, but without times

Could those idiots have ran that shit any worse?
I got 1 run in after 2 hours of sitting in line. Got back in line. Got kicked out after like another hour of sitting in line for no reason at all ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) I thought the guy was moving me to a line that was about to go because I had only ran once and got their 40 minutes before it opened but he moved me to a line of cars that had just came back.

That sucks bro. I ran at 4:15 about 30 minutes after getting there. When I finished my run, I went around and got all clogged up in the back. Some guy showed me to a lane that wasn't moving! About 5 minutes later, the line starts moving, and I get to run again. When I get to the front, I told the guy that I had already ran and some guy told me to go here and that I didn't want to look like I was sneaking runs, he said to just run again. I ran twice in the first hour! I am sure there were more people like me(but did it on purpose) and made it harder for people to get atleast 2 runs in. My buddy came with me left after 2 and a half hours without running once. Those people don't know how to prep a track or keep it moving! They need some serious brains there or something if they want to get thier money back from the rebuild. Becuase I won't keep going there if it stays like that! I promised myself that today after running 4 times ALL with horrible traction!

I hadn't planned on going to the track anytime soon. But I got this Transgo I am about to get installed, and since SP didn't show me any love with some new times, I might have to make it out to Sac this weekend! Let me know when you plan on going! I'll line em up with you to get smoked! I ain't trippin

I went to T&T on Saturdays before they switched to Friday nights. How many runs do you get in on Fri nights? Also, since I will be coming from Oakland, traffic is a biatch going out there at that time
Let me know, if it is worth it, I will go! I just want to get atleast 3 runs in for the $40, and also for the track to be prepped well for the big $ I will be laying down
There was nothing like the last time I went to Sac. The track hooked SO good for me.

Every time I go to that damn track something happens to my car. The weather wasn't that good, Cold and windy. I thought that the traction wasn't too bad, but maybe that was just me. The whole day sucked thought. They haven't fixed the lights yet so we could only run tell 7:30 witch mean that most people only got one or two runs in. The worst part is that I broke my car on my second pass down. I think my linkage is gone. The car is stuck in first and I have no neutral or any other gear for that matter. Had to tow it to Hayward ford.

Yes, please do that! I would like to hear how the Fri T&Ts go before I make a trip out there! But if by some miracle I get enough money today to get my Transgo installed tomorrow up in Sac then I might have to stop by. But as of now, I dont know!
Let me know!

A BIG maybe I'll be there this summer. I'm sure your pullied up super charger will love that Sacramento summer heat If Dan wants to let me borrow a 3.35 1st geared T5, chances will be increased In the mean time, there is a emerald green LX with pony wheels that is always out there (FasterDamnit), he's running damn near the same combo as I am. He can be my proxy.
sfGi8nt- I have the timeslip from that video, I just have to dig it up and scan it sometime. I had all the numbers from it on a long post on corral.net, but their servers crashed and it was lost The ET's wheren't special, both 14.2's

Hey! No comments about my reaction time! Maybe I wanted to give Tone a little head start!! jk
That was my Silver Lightning, and I agree that was one close race! 13.956 to 13.960 Only .004 difference!! Not bad for the ol' land barge, eh?

I got that on video. It was really cool! Let me know if you want me to put it up!
So much for going REAL easy as we both said we were going to do on our last run, huh?(before we knew we were gonna line up together) I didn't even rev before. I just idled and waited for the 3rd light, and EASED into full throttle, and I STILL spun like crazy! That track felt too wierd yesterday!
Let me know about the video though!

I have to admit, that was a sweet race. Can't wait to see the vid. I agree, that track felt like ice. I guess sitting in line for hours with nice and cold tires, and a cold track don't help much either!
