Oh Yeah, Forgot to add. About 15 Mustangs showed up for the Ford crew and about 0 of them made it into the semi's...

Great job guys. Sorry I couldn't help out more. I guess once I get my car a bit more consistent I can contribute more than the obligitory 1 point.

It was good to see the Mustangs run...if only to know what they can't do on a track. It seemed like they were pounding it out but just couldn't get any more out of them. Couldn't even chalk it up to driver error

Zeke, your truck runs baaaaaaaaaaad! Way better than the Jeep Cherokee and a total burb

I don't know if it's ever going to be consistent enough to be effective in the brackets, though. It ran a 16.86 @ 82 the first run, then a 17.02, then a 16.65..... so I dialed in at 16.85, and ran a 16.62 on that dial. I did another TnT run after getting knocked out and ran a 16.72. It was all over the board. At least my Formula is predictable.. I'm probably gonna have to run the truck again before the season's over, so let's hope it finds it's stride.

Hey, how did your car run? I haven't heard anything about it yet..but I bet it's fast!

:edit: I just saw it in another thread..Congrats to you too! 12.4 @ 114 I think that should get you in the top 10!

I ran it twice, ended up w/ the 2nd being better with a 60' of 2.2, and 1/4 12.4 @ 114. I need tires, so I can get some grip and take off traction control.

NW F-Bodies did Great yesterday. There was no better feeling than seeing the Mustangs get swated like flies. I definately plan to get my LT1 moded out and on the track hopefully before the summer is out. Keep up the good work team NW F-Bodies.

The Durango won. Don't forget this is handicapped racing. Maybe you'd prefer to go heads-up with the "W" team? That might be interesting.

See below. I have to answer this kind of reference.

This **** don't stink mentality is killing me. Trying to make yourself better or something.

You guys crack me up, take this WAYYY to seriously.

There are some cool people like DrEvyl, etc on here but some of the anti Ford banter I heard after the racing last night was WAY beyond childish 2nd grade insults.

If you want to go that route ... whatever ... just not a good way make yourselves a commendable leader or gain respect for your wins / consistency.

I guess I just don't see any fun on trashing on other teams, especially with most of the Ford guys out there for fun. If I get a point for the team, good on 'ya but if I lose a race that's fine it was time well spent at the track.

Tranzor

Well, it's bracket racing... that's just the way it goes. Handicapped so everyone's got an equal chance, no matter how slow/fast their ride is.

Heads up racing is fun, but that gets boring IMO... all you gotta do is throw a 200-250 shot at just about any ride, all it has to do is hold up for the night, and you can take the crown. Most HP/money wins that race every time, not necessarily the best driver.

esoteric

I don't know what kind of format to use in an inter-club competition for heads up racing -not really practical, I guess. Keep in mind that almost all the Mustangs are standard shift and I think most of you guys are automatics. If you are sticks, too then go on celebrating and I congratulate all. But I think it's a little unfair to disparage the efforts of our team when we are dealing with a completely different equation. By the way, the driver of the winning Durango has three Mustangs -all stick shift cars. But in my book that doesn't make the Durango a better car than a Mustang or a Chevy for that matter, and it doesn't make all who lost to him contemptable.

Tranzor

I don't take nothing away from guys who do well with the sticks... my car is a manual, and I totally understand how hard it is to win at brackets with one. But it can be done... just gotta be as good as a computer, I guess.

I'd say most our club's cars are autos... In fact, I'd say 80% of all the cars total in Car Club Challenge (no matter what club they belong to) are autos.
But there are definitely a few of us who drive manuals as well. In fact, Bill Springer, the guy with the '71 Camaro RS, he's done really well this year for us and his is a manual. The current points leader for NW F-body (and for CCC in general), Jonathan Miller, his Firehawk is a manual as well.

I also think that club participation is the biggest factor of all. We usually have around 10+ racers a race, while you guys have had half that number (if that) until the recent one. So its to be expected that your point total will be less... sheer numbers dictate which teams will be up front. You can have the best racers in the world, but if you only have 3 or 4 racing all the time, and another team constantly fields a dozen or more... well, the odds definitely are not in your favor.

Tylerb59

Not to mention, I recruited a few guys out of the street legal line last night who never even heard of CCC or been in a bracket race before. Heck, I didn't know about this thing until the previous event when I joined in the street legal line.

This is a lot of fun after learning about what's involved and how tough it is to be consistent. Competition is a good thing but like I said I expect more from a winning team.
