Exclamation UPDATE!!! CFL 1/4 mile drag strip night Friday, Sept. 9, 2005

Well at least I'll be there. I'd like to meet up for dinner at the Ale House in Waterford around 5pm then head out to the track after that. With any luck we can get to the track a few minutes before they open so we can let our cars cool down some. I might even grab a cooler and a bag of ice now that I'm FI...

Who else wants to join me?

1. Neff
2.

Put me on as tentative, Neff.

At the track with FI you should be running DR's anyway. I could put street tires on at the widest width made(355) and still light them up. Mechanical forward grip is dictated by sidewall flex(the more the better) and material. Once you can make over 300lb/ft of torque it because almost impossible to give it full throttle and not spin through the 60ft mark. Excuse Revised
Excuse #12
I don't have any Drag Radials or Slicks.

So what's up with the excuse? +1 pu**y! Randy, we will be sure and scan the timeslips and post all relevant info. I elect Todd as the official timeslip scanner so that we can have them all in one post. All in favor. Say "I"

"I"

I would hardly call my car a pu$$y as its not LR, but rather DG, and is quicker than Todd's car to begin with. Even Daniel said so. And Todd, we all know, "Listen to Daniel". I have nothing to prove and everything to lose....

I'll go out one of these days. SGP responded and the downtime will be about a week and retails for $1200 (Much more than I thought it would be)

Hey, I said p-ssy (which was short for prissy). What's with all the pu--- talk?

Jason, everyone on this forum thinks you're scared of me (rightfully so) and they all know I'm calling you out and you're making excuses. I'll listen to Daniel all day long but he isn't a psychic.

"I"... there.

Randy I will gladly scan in everyone's times and post them in this thread IF everyone gives me their fastest time slip at the track. Also, PM me and let me know at what RPM you launch at with the PIAA's on.

I wish I could go, but I work at 4pm on Friday. Maybe after the track, you guys could come stop by Blue Martini?

I can't afford that place plus I hear the young bouncer wanna be parking attendants are always starting trouble with the customers.

I'll be there but I won't be doing any drag racing. NeffMaster, I need a physical address so that i can plug it to my Nav. system. Remember, I still don't know my way around.
