I'll be there as well.

Just to worn you, track prep most likely wont be that good. Kinda between a Wed's night and a TNT is common. [burnout]

i will be there with my car but if its too packed not running cant pay 40 for 2 runs like last year

Posted by TheBrain (Member # 35) on :

I would love to come down to race, I tend to do pretty well at events like this [Wink]

Car is just not ready, still have a broken header tube and I won't have time to remove the header and weld it [Frown]

Saving my money right now so I can get a set of 1 7/8" or 2" Kooks. That of course will require a tubular K-member, and new exhaust. Since I have about $20 in savings after moving into my townhouse, I am only about $2480 away. HAHAHA

I actually got that nickname AFTER the Ford vs. Chevy race a few years ago, when they threw a .400 tree at us and I left WAY before the other car. I ran an 11.3 and beat his 10.8x [Big Grin]

I remember all this. I think the driver/owner of the Camero you beat was Dan and his SN was "G8WHITE" or something along those lines.

Bad a$$ race regardless! [Big Grin]

I was planning on going, but will we really only get two runs?

This is a bracket event, right? Is it a .400 tree or a .500 tree?

I don't have the blower on the car right now so I just planned on running consistent, going rounds, and winning some money! It has to be a .500 tree though. I am good on a .4 on the bike but not in the car! It ran 12.31 last week at Infineon with a helacious headwind but good 60fts. I was hoping for 12.20's at Sac but it would have to cool down and have good track prep.

Is it going to be worth the trip over there? Also, it says that there is a Mustang class. So, are we running eachother or are we running against the Chevy's? It sounds like we don't race the Chevy's until we win the Mustang class.

Anyone have specifics?

I will be there but whats with the two run

Posted by Team SOLO (Member # 722) on :

I thought of going...but didn't know if I'd be running on the Ford side or the Chevy side [Razz]

You could probably run both.... Double the pay out, and a bye in the finals!!!

Posted by 1320MASTER (Member # 773) on :

Will be doing the same taking out the my buddies 91GT w/SBC and try running both classes.Also be running my car also, payouts seem a little low lets hope lots of cars show.

Posted by kwikrob (Member # 835) on :

Did anyone go? How was it? I was at the t&t Friday and it was dead.

Posted by Notch1320 (Member # 2647) on :

Quite a few cars on both sides... I think an F150 won the entire event.

Posted by Camara90 (Member # 134) on :

I was very disapointed with the event. Track prep was ok, but the way they ran it this time with Ford vs Ford until the last cars was stupid. They had some bad anouncer, who wouldnt shut up. Seemed like if you know someone at the track you could run whenever you want, but those who didnt were screwed. Very disapointing.

I dont know about "knowing someone at the track and run whatever you want" statement LOL. We sponsor the track, hell our sign is at the burnout box and we wanted to make one more pass last night but were turned away due to the track getting cold. Believe me, we tried to get them to let us run but safety is safety and I understand. Overall track did pretty good for us and I was happy with the prep.

Shaun the F150 did win King of the track he ran Artie's 9 second 70 Camaro in the final,Truck cut a .011 light to Artie's .026 light and ran right on his number Artie broke out. I runnered up in the mustang lane the car I ran cut a .006 light and ran 13.325 on a 13.32 dial in, I was a little late on the light and broke out ran 11.44 on a 11.50 dial on the brakes.Had a great time ran it's ET N/A 11.41.

Posted by Camara90 (Member # 134) on :

thats weird I seen some guys out there that are friends of my brother in laws who ran SOLO passes 3 times in 40 minutes towards the end of the night. I know they are there all the time, and regulars but we all payed to play. I used to go to sac all the time with my last car, and it has seen better days.
