I only ran a 10.1 at 128 to his 9.69 at 140 Lets just saw I KILLED HIM off the tree. I think I had a .408 and he had a 1.130 reaction time or something like that I was pedalling it all the way down...rolling in and out of it.

Well I finaly made it down for a grudge night at Sac for the first time in a while. It was fun got my best time and MPH to date but still working out traction issues. 11.12 was my best on a 1.76 60 foot time at 128.8 MPH I blew my best 60 foot with a missed 3rd gear shift and a broken new shift knob LOL (dang I really liked this shift knob)Tons of mustangs there. After the sun went down I was expecting some killer times but the track started going away for me. One pass it started going to the center line in high gear I was like WTF? I am sideways...

---

I would kill to have that MPH. If you could only get your car to hook up that thing would put down some unreal ET's Well, if you could make it hook, or quit missing 3rd when it does Sorry to hear about your shit knob

That sounds like a race that 2stangs and I had up in Redding a few years ago. Only to compound the problem of being all over the track and in and out of the throttle from about the 1/8 on, after you get past the stripe there are no more lights! Still a good time though

Need to get back to the track more often.

Looks like I missed out on all the fun

I was right behind you in the staging lanes for this run.....it's great to see you car get off the line

SORRY i didn't get out to meet more people i wish i could have but if i wasn't in the car i was tryng to help a buddy get some footage which i should have soon.....ki know i have a couple of TeamSolo's runs and probably a few others from here on the board i may need someone to host them though.....

As for me i ran a best ever of 11.9 @ 120 on the first run there when the sun was still out and warm.......and i couldn't better that as some were saying the track did seem to get a little looser towards the end as on my last run after a better burnout i hit best a 60t of 1.87 but on each shift i could feel the rear-end sway more than usual

Once again pleased with the results but i know there is tons left in it with me bettering my skills!

For my power output the track did so-so but i truly understand the need of a well prepped track for you guys


I'll get the clips ASAP but for-warning i'm no filming pro and it'll be probably be as shaky as a crackhead

By the way anyone know the set-up on the Blue w white strip turbo fox out there.....it sounded good going down track but seemed he couldn't get it to launch w/ the turbo spooled up.....anyway props also to the teal LX w/ the 5 spd

If anyone remembers my car back when it was Norm's, it had the motor that is in JP's car now. That was back when Norm went a best of an 8.63 at something like 157 or 159. JP, first pass ever with that same motor went 160 mph. Now, its just getting the fine details worked out. That car will truly haul ass once done.

JP come on down to Bakersfield with me on July 8th...Friday night TNT.

I remember hearing stories from back in the day about Norman running a stock block 302 based motor into the 9's with a turbo setup. My facts may be way off as this is just something that I have heard. Norman owning the notch that now belongs to SOLO was before my time.

Yep, he owned my coupe. He stacked it in Vegas in 2001 or 2002. It had right rear quarter damage which is why the right rear quarter is all blackish and blocked. He gave me the roof/quarters and cage and I've been building it ever since. Now the goal is to break the record of the car

I remember watching vids of Norman getting out of shape in your car to the point were he was pulling the REAR tires off the ground at about half track I guess it was only a matter of time that he did kiss the wall....lol

Are you planning on using some giggle gas to get the best time ever for that car or is there something else up your sleeve?
