TI Update thread...??
Anyone at the TI races care to share any details/outcomes from any of the races from this weekend?
I'm sure the UGR, AMS crews probably won all of the finals but, what about the Vette on Vette races?? How did the Lethal crew do?
Any info, pics, vids are appreciated by those of us who didn't get to go...

Sounds like it man... Anytime you get to haul *** and compete and come home with the car still running is an awesome weekend...
Any other blower cars running this weekend? I'm sure Tony had the Blower/spray Viper out there...(if its not TT already)..
You're right, not too many rep'n blowers these days... Atleast not at events where 1000rwhp doesn't even get you in the gate...
I'm with you though, I'm stuck with what I've got...

No it wasn't User name Joe! It was another Lethal car it ran real well and went home in one piece after lifting a head on the spray. I forgot what his last name is, hell he maynot have told me lol! But Feldman finally got some decent passes in for sure after working out some bugs with blower intake filter setup. The two TT Lethal corvettes showed som amazing potiential, but were plaiged with problems. Looking forward to when they get them dialed in a little more. 184 is impressive for sure.

Maybe the spray on top of the blower isn't a great idea if everyone is popping head gaskets on it.
Jeff, did you run?
I hope some vids and pics pop up this week...

That blue C5Z ran it's nuts off pretty consistently. Winters blew a head gasket on his second pass. White_Lightning ran hard all weekend.
It seemed like a lot of the Vettes were having issues. That silver top mount TT one didn't seem to get any clean passes and was constantly breaking up and burping out smoke. I assume it was a pretty fresh build.
I wish my car had been down there. Oh well.

Joe is "C5Z 8 U" on the forum. He went a best of 169.xx I believe on the bottle, and 158.xx off.
My best index was 163.8. I was plagued with vipers all weekend...
It was nice to meet a few of you.

i was running consistant 171.x's with a best of a 173.34 VS a blown/sprayed viper.
car is a 08 z51 coupe with z0 rears. 427 lsx with an f1x.
Best dyno was 1324 rwhp.. i was at about 1260 (3* backed out) since it was my firs time running the combo.
I drove the car there.. Beat the CRAP out of it for 2 days.. and drove it home..
I was Very happy with the build and my shop.. My builder was out there ready to help with what ever i needed.... Ti was an awesome event.. it was good to see more vettes there

Depending on when you hit it distance is ~1650 give or take depending on how quickly you and the driver next to you sync.
