Re: My Shootout Results (MTI 427 Roadster)
Us superstoker guys (like me ;)) are dying to find out what times the Superstroker guys were running (409 cubes and bigger) naturally aspirated class of course
After 25 runs this weekend, best was today at a 11.06@121 w/1.53 60' banging the rev limiter about 150' from the stripe!
Driving back today running 80,85,90...........19.67mpg :eek:
I had just a little fun and am happy with this street car :yesnod:
Our local track will be openning in a few weeks........10's here I come on BFGs.

:cheers: :cheers: Very Nice Indeed on drag radials and no et streets. Did you and VSTELLA get it on as that would have been a decent match up as he runs right around those times down in FLA fairly consistently!!!! :cheers:
He was there w/o his car, but got some good video though :thumbs:

Re: My Shootout Results (TXNC5)
Congrats on the runs. I think we race one and I got out on you but you ran me down mid track and easily pulled away. I ran from 11.37 to 11.44 I think it was.

Re: My Shootout Results (jw02)
Pretty fast for a red car. I would never work on my own car like that, I like to pay full retail for all my mods. :lol:

Re: My Shootout Results (TXNC5)
I was thinking of taking Trevor's SS instead of the C5 since we will be needing to test out a new combo in the SS. I'll talk to him tomorrow about it. I think we left the track at 3am when we did the gear swap, which is about normal time for me. Last night I arrived home at 5am from working on another car! :eek: So yes I'm used to working very late hours. :)
