Awesome pix have been posted of this great event - thanks for the effort! Can anyone put ET's to the cars? When will this event hit the Calif turf?
I finally got my "Fastest Car That Drove There" ***le back from Kerry with an 11.49. Pic stolen from Jim Marlett. -Abone.
Yeah, you did but only cuz Kerry brokeded his Hemi. And I only saw you drag once, punk. I drove mine too but A) it don't go that fast and B) it tried to lunch the trans on the way there and back. Stupid Dynaflow.....
Great time!!!!..Flamedabone!.........The local cops keep telling me not to drive my Model A Pickup on the street.............Littleman
Gas Roadster... 12.37 @ 115 in the primered pictured on the left. There were faster G/R's at Mokan... but not driven by me! I was 60 footed by everything I ran against the whole day and "Buzzard" had me until 10 foot before the finish line...! I think that Buzzard and I had the closest race of the day when my come from behind margin of victory was a mear .0135 of a second...! Next year there will be a Hoop and Slicks... because Buzzards finding the right combination for his coupe and I'll be chasing after his 55 as well...!
Look at the white knuckles in that pic. Probably too skeered to make a second p***. LOL,just jokin' Abone.........great job! chicken (slowest Vagabond at the '08 drags)
Well ****. I didn't have the fastest or the slowest and I got beat by a darned Ford Falcon. He must have been cheatin with that 200 six. We're gunning for you next year chicken! The Valiant will avenge it's loss! We had a great time and drove the Valiant 1100 miles (round trip) and got 3 p***es down the 1/4 mile. Best ET of 18.93 @ 76 mph.
I had a blast blowing up my previous ET of 20.** from last year (which was my only run). My best this year (after 7 runs) was 15.43 @ just under 89mph! I made my dad so proud!
Even though Abone wussed out and only made one p*** ;-) he definitely deserves the ***le. He would have had it last year if'n he coulda hooked up. Congrats Abone! Best I did this year was a 12.28 @ 112.08. This is the first year I didn't improve which is a little discouraging. I ran a 12.10 @ 115 last year. I didn't have the ignition tuned up right. Let's see if I can get the digger done for next year and step up some.
I ran 12.73 @ 108. I'm still a little slow of the 12.59 I've been shooting for. But I made several good p***es and didn't break anything, so I'll call it a good day at the track. Looks like I may have to get one of them blowers to try to stay up with DW, Kerry, and Flamedabone. Well, try to stay up with Kerry and Abone at least. DW will be in the 10's soon.
Fighting a really bad bog off the line (like fall flat on your face!...****!) but still got a 14.9 (at 98 mph)out of the truck once it started to haul itself down the tarmac. I did get 7 p***es so had a blast.
What pulled it off the trailer, made one run and put it back on... So how many folks told you to put a chevy in it if you wanted to go faster....
I ran a 9.87 @ 139.19 mph in the 55 in the comp coupe/sedan cl***. There were faster cars running in this cl***, later in the day when the track heated up the car still ran pretty good.
