Default Videos from Alternative Motoring Private Track Event 3/22 @ California Speedway

For anyone at the Alternative Motoring Private Track event at California Speedway, here is a link to the videos we took: http://www.motorgen.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=109

Not all videos are up yet, there are a total of 56. We should be finished by tomorrow.
There were at least a handful of really fast F-bodies running. We will be taping at most Street Legal Drag and Alternative Motoring 1/4 mile events for the rest of the year. These events are all on the calendar on the site if you filter it by dragracing(for anyone looking for future events). If anyone is going to any events in the future, let me know I'll make sure we get you running. I'm SeanPlunk on motorgen.com, or email me at SeanPlunk@gmail.com.

Ryne, it was nice to meet you - your GTO is a beast. I don't think I've ever met anyone who knows as much about LSX engines and exhaust as you. What's your best in the GTO?

The track was decent. Left lane spun right lane hooked for me. Not a lot of runs sat. it was not a good day for racing. About 30 min into the first runs a dragster flipped and shut down the track for about an hour. They got every thing going again and there was a crash on the infield and they called away the ambulance ans shut us down for another 45 min. Ambulance is back a few cars make runs, then some complete moron in a PPE 2500 chevy diesel lines up and prestages. He gets up on the brakes spooling the turbo while the other guy is stil in the burn out box. He sat on the brakes for about 1 min then the supra stages and the PPE truck really gets on it, black smoke pouring out of the pipes while he's still prestaged. Finally figures it out and stages. Lights go truck takes off grabs second gear with a huge crack and sputters and dies meanwhile dropping trans fluid all over the track for about 100ft. So they shut down again. Wasnt til about noon that the track was really moving. More cars proceded to break all day shutting down the track until so much **** had been spilled in the left lane that they shut it down and only ran 1 lane for the last hour.

Man that sucks..I have had good luck in Bakersfield when they do some private events..You can get in 30 runs or more. Maybe next time will be better..My car needs the 60' to run a good ET since I don't have a lot of power.
