Default Video of me vs. GTS SS

Here's a video of me racing Gordon last Friday night. Notice what one of the guys is saying about Gordon's car before we start racing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> It just HAS to be a stroker. LOL! This was my worst run of the night with a 1.680 60'. I tried flashing the converter from 1,500, and it was way too much for the track to hold. Sorry for the quality; a guy happened to get the race on video and e-mailed it to me.

Enjoy!

Thanks to Justin for hosting the video for me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Yeah, I tried. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I knew that would be my only chance to not watch his tail lights down the entire 1/4! It wasn't stellar, but it was decent: .552 vs. .592. That kept us even for the first 30' or so. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

lol, it's hard to make out what the guys are saying before the race.
I did catch "heads and cam and a lot of other crap" lol
then did he say "I know but that car's a stroker" or "i know but that's what the strokers run"?

anyways good vid <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

(i prolly watched it 15 times trying to figure out the conversation. lol)

I think I've figured it out.

someone asks the mods
#1 - "Heads, cam, and a lot of other crap; the guy said. Hell, its runnin low 11s"
#2 - "If its runnin low 11s, are you sure? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> That can't be rite, if he's running low 11s" <<<< disbelief
#1 - "Why?"
comments made about someone else running low 11s
#2 - "I know but thats not a stroker"

Well, now #2 knows that you can run low 11s without a stroker <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Yeah, I thought that was your worst pass Gordon. Every one I watch on my video is an 11.1x. We bring out the worst in each others' setup. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

Crazyquick - Thanks for the written dialogue. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> That's the best part of the video!

Hey guys. This is my first post on this site. I thought I would chime in since I was the one who took the video. While watching Gordon run a little earlier, I talked to one of his friends who told me it was a N/A motor with "all the bolt-ons", heads, cam, etc. I was the first guy who said it had heads, cam, and a bunch of other stuff. The other guy was DavidZ28 from DFWStangs who was asking about the stroker. Either way, nice running cars guys. Lots of respect for the LS1!

Mike,

Welcome to the site! Thanks again for shooting the video. I can't believe that was David! I'll have to mention that to him the next time I see him. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

No problem. I had a good time watching you guys. And definitely give David some flack, he deserves it.

Guys, I just listened to the video again and remember what was said. Some other guy you can't hear had asked if it was a stroker. I think David asked if it was a solid roller cam setup. That's what it was. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Next time I will just shut up so you can hear the cars and not my babbling! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
