Drag racing in Northern California anyone?

[DennisG]

Just wondering if anyone in the Bay Area/ Central Valley is interested in going to http://www.sacramentoraceway.com/ for a Saturday grudge fest/ test n' tune also wednesday nights at 7pm. Track is only 50' above sea level and with these cool nights probably get some good times. I've only been there a couple of times when I owned my 2001 Lightning (pulled a 13.9 @101mph with a horrible 2.3 60 ft.). It's a blast if you've never been drag racing before. My SRT needs some good break in miles! hee hee j/k!

Are you the same DennisG from the californiafords.com board?

[DennisG]

Yep, that's me. Used to own a 2000 supercharged Saleen speedster and a 2001 Silver Lightning. I was a ford guy for awhile (until the 300 came out). Now have a 2005 C and a 2006 SRT8 and a 05 town and country for the family. I've been lurking on that board for quite a few years. Hard to cut the ties I guess... heehee

Here's a couple of photos taken in 2002. Car has been sold for awhile now. Kind of miss it now and then, but have the SRT8 to make up for it!

Let me know--- Need to get some numbers

NorCal are you interested in going? Looks like the weather is still hit and miss lately. Sac was closed last Saturday. Looks like Wednesdays are bracket racing. I'd rather do the test n' tune on Saturdays. Of course there is always Sears point. I was on another Lx forum looks like they are planning an event on May 12 and 13th track all for Lx's, but unfortunately I can't find the board or post. Maybe someone will see this post on here, I'll keep looking in the mean time.

Very nice car you had, and have now! Well I use to be a Ford guy too. I had a 99 Cobra Convt. that I converted into a Saleen. It had an intercooled NOVI-2000, and a bunch of other BS on it.




Motor before the intercooler.



I would be interested in going out to Sac Raceway sometime. I have been out there on a Saturday, but I only ran twice. Best I did was 13.6@105. Not too bad for the first time out in this car. Right now I am trying to make the final decision on the GS Supercharger Kit. I am hopefully going down to get my wheels this week, and I want to test drive one of their cars. I know once I do drive one I will be sold! But surely let me know if you plan to head out there one Saturday, and I will try to make it, or maybe we can get a couple of us together and just BS. I know Josh is pretty close by to me, and there is one other Guy in my town that drives a SRT-8 M.

Hey looks like my Saleen's big brother! hee hee What were your 60' times on the 13.6 run? I'll keep an eye out on the weather (and my schedule) try and make it out there in April.
