Blow me Frank :p:

 

you never called back dude!

 

sounds like a good time. soon as i get a few things done on my vette i will be out there

 

I had a tough day. Mostly working on my lights but bogged and spun myself into the 12.6xs and on decent hook netted a 12.44 (I won't mention the 13.13 when I left the traction control on.....did I say that out loud?)

Lights were decent
.575
.482 (you ain't trying had enough if you don't get one of these)
.535
.527
.575

 

edgar you need tires BAD you dont drive that thing in the rain do you? :eek:
good run today. :cheers:

 

Cool pics. Looks like a lot of fun.

 

WOW..! What a good time. It was fun watching you guys run today.

Ooooo yeah the Ford joke about pushing the car. haha :jester

 

Actually, that's me Frank. :D

Thank for posting the awesome pics Pat, it was great meeting you today. :cheers:

1996Z15, it was great meeting you as well, glad you finally got to race your car. :cheers:

As for me, I had a pretty good day racing. My first run was a 12.6, then a 12.5, then a 12.6. But I finished off my day strong with a 12.393 at 114.53. Not the personal best I was hoping for, but not bad considering the unseasonal heat.

 

Sounds like you all had a great time but I didn't see enough times posted to know how fast the track was.????????????????????
Also was there a good turnout didn't sound like you got many run.

Didn't they run a gamblers race???????
If so how did you guys do. I hope you all just didn't make sometime runs and go home. :D

Oops, my bad Bill, didn't look at the wheels!

How was the trip home?

 

John, we had a great time, but I'm not ready for Gamblers with this car yet. It was crowded and we had a lot of downtime and I'm still sick.

There's always next week :cheers:

 

How about everyone else??????????????????????????????

 

You're sick, so I'll let it go this time Frank. :D

Ride home wasn't too bad, thankfully traffic was very light. Only took about 2:45 minutes. :eek: I did almost 6 hours of driving today, only 48 seconds of which was spent racing! :lol:

 

you got some good pics there pat!! gotta put ur burnout pic in your sig!! :cool:

1996Z15, im gald we convinced you to race....told ya itd be a good time :cheers: just hope ya dont catch the bug cause then youll be there every other weekend like some.

Mark(X-Otic), im gonna have to take sides with pat and dave here....gotta run that bad boy Slowtera, i mean Pantera :D

Redgar....you got some good R/T's there. Would it **** you off if i told you i got a .517 :D I wont sat what my other was :rolleyes:

Frank, Edgar, and Bill"Y" i promise next time ill bring my radio so i dont make any more wrong turns....LoL and what happened....i thoguht we were going to the turnpike or 95...out of nowhere i saw you guys turn :confused:

As far as my runs, i did horrible...started out with a 13.1@106 bogging off the line and bouncing off the rev limiter in 3rd thinking i would ride it out through the traps:rolleyes: . My next run i bogged even worse and ran a 13.4@106. and my last run i missed second gear and ran a 13.9@103....seems like a case of bad driving to me

It was great to meet those of you I have not before! Definitely was a great day for racing even though it didnt allow for many runs, or good ones for that matter, but was good to be out there hanging out with everyone. :cheers:

Chris

[edit]ill post the pics that i have when i get back to school tomorrow night

I can't believe your track was open this early in the year. :mad Wish one would have opened up here. Would have been nice to go make a few passes.

 

Guess I missed out, like usual!! :cry :cry :cry :cry

 

Mark you missed out on more up here :yesnod: you would have had a blast :cheers:

 

I would have been out of control, maybe next Sunday.

Pat you talkng about my street tires or drag radials. I swap into drag radials at the track. My street are due to be replaced SOON I know. And I do try to stay out of the rain because my street tires have little to no tread left in the center.

Mackey, I ran a 12.42 or something with a 1.74 then two 12.66 with 1.87 and 1.88 and then after a 2 and a half hour wait for an oil down, a 12.62 on a 1.97. The 60's were off a little with two bogs and a big spin but other than that, I think I would have run right about what I ran the last time at the track in December.

Gamblers maybe next time.
