FINALLY got to the track!
Mon, 10/19/2009 - 10:59am
Trapped @108.61, but thats all I'm saying for now LOL
Tack we went to isnt know for traction in the first place, and it being 45-50* or so, even w/ the Nitto 555r DRs, I couldnt hook, best run of the day and I still spun ~100' or so, think another 10* or so, and i would hit the ET I was aiming for, the power is there, now its just the matter of getting it to the ground :P, guess I'll have to wait till spring, this was the last weekend to run up here :(
Sorry all the guys on the fan cruise missed out :( 'll be tinkering in the winter in prep for the Rt66 cruise though ;)
Looks like you had some fun burning up tires anyway. Wish I could have joined ya.

First burnout pic is usually how i warm them/kick off the dirt, last pic was last run of the day figured I could use a new burnout pic ;)
heres me staging after that last burnout
the smoke was soo thick, it was STILL coming out of the vents @ the end of the 1320, and I could barley see the bulbs even after letting the car sit for 30seconds @ the lights :P I was the only car on the track that pass, but it was fun ;)
Brian, I'll try to get out your way next year to beat up on the camaro & possibly the GN... the tempest i might have to bring in a ringer for that one ;)

I don't think he has anything for the GN. That is ONE healthy beast of a ride!

I did that once....AND ONLY once. this guy was at GN weekend at our town when I lived back east and after the track events, he came out on the street with his slicks on and me, being the "dumba##" that I am, agreed to run 'em. hahahaha....
I took my ball and went home and licked my wounds for a good part of the next week.....no kidding!
