Video from the drags today

Here's a bit of video from the drags today. The first run is a buddy of mine, Hankster (LXForums) in his Maggie SRT8, the next two runs are yours truly. The Mustang he ran in this round ended up running me the next round. I think he was tired of seeing the rear SRT8 badges 'cause he waited to stage and never got side by side either one of us the rest of the day.

On that last run, the 'Cuda I was up against was fast but I was only .5 secs behind him at the finish line. He came up to me after the run and was chuckling as he thought his trailered in race car was almost beat by a street car.

We had a great time and more pics are on the way.

Yes, my buddy from LXForums volunteered to take some video while he was there. He couldn't stay long but I'm glad he got some clips taken.

We had a great time and it was nice to run in some cooler weather for a change. Temps were mid to high 70 deg F. vs. the last time I ran when it was high 80's to low 90's deg F.

My times were better. Some of that can be, I'm sure, attributed to the cooler weather + I have added the GSM Fan Mod and the exhaust.

In any event, we heard a rumor that they were going to continue these sessions, weather permitting, through the end of September so we'll be going again!

Pics From The Drags

Here's the pics I promised earlier.

Maggie RT with a small burnout:



Hankster (LXF) with his Maggie SRT8 burnout:



RampantD (LXF) off the line. We helped him install a Jet Chip between runs and his times dropped. He's runnin' a 3.5 and got into the 15's!



EBuck (LXF) in another Maggie SRT8 doin' his burnout. Who would have thought a wagon was so fast!!!



Your's truly on the return road. We were in the bracket racing portion by then and I kept winning!



Yours truly in the brackets. The VW Corrado was fast but not fast enough. He had a 0.50 head start but I caught him at the big end. I think the wind blast as I went by him pushed him towards the wall.




Me and the Corrado staging:



And Off We Go!!!



Consistently ran 13.5X after the first two rounds. I dialed in 13.5 and, on this run, almost broke out catching the Corrado, finishing with a 13.52 @ 104.78MPH, which was my second best run. I think the SRT8 can be made faster. I'm still traction limited (tires) but with a second set of wheels and some drag radials, I'm in the low 13's. Add a B&G flash and it may go into the 12's!

The announcers were really complimentary about how fast these cars will motor down the track. A few folks came up to us to check out the cars.

Anyway, that's it for now. Next session is 8/31.

LOL...Oh man, that ain't right..how could you see through my tint anyway?

It don't matter to me who's on the other lane...I'm pretty much focused as I get ready to race.

Did you see Hankster wax me the first round we raced? Well, I got him back the next time we raced. And the beauty of it was he was doin' some serious trash talkin' after he beat me the first round. He got real quiet after that...LOLOLOL

Glad you could come out. And thanks for taking the video!

And if you put that out on the website in HD, let me know! I got FIOS here so no worries on the download.
