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"

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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