Default Vetrcr87

I found an old video which I am pretty sure it was your car back in 1993. It did a 12.79@106 at E Town in July. I recognized the cleanliness of it,and remembered you had mesh body colored wheels. In this time area, you had slicks/stickies in back with the street tires up front.

I'll have to see if I have any more of it....That was back in the day when I was a stang banger.

Just thought I'd share that.

I have a few of it at other events...it'd obviously be a waste to put that sole 12 second pass on there. I'll put the other ones on,and see you at the next challenge.

I found a few of my old mustang going mid 11's in 95 degree heat. Sure it's quicker than the Vette...but the Vette is ten times the car that breadbox would ever be!

See you at the challenge.

Ron,

No problem on the tape. I started it last night. There are a bazillion runs from last years GMHTP thing you kept going round after round(Ala Mackey/Panuzzo). And some from a challenge event. Too bad I didn't get your last event.. The car was haulin' and that 10.90 run would have been nice to get too.

Waiting on a set of slicks a friend is lending me. We'll see if they get here in time. As soon as they come, I'm goin'!
