Default Just got back from the Worlds Fastest Street Car Shootout in Orlando.....

And all I can say is I feel slow now and I haven't even gotten my car running to full potential and on the full shot yet! It was so awesome, first year i've ever gone, every car there was so badass!!!! I want a damn turbo so I can go run with the big dogs and keep up, eheheh!

Only guys from here I saw there was Hardcore Motorsports, they had their blue vert T/A there and their Tube Chassis Silver GTO! Didn't see the T/A run at all before I left, but right before I left, the GTO went a 6.98 @ 202!!!!!!!

Nah, didn't have a vid camera with me, but wish I did!!!! Hell, I heard that last night the top class (think it was called super pro street or something like that which I think the gto was running) was running like bottom to mid 6's and I saw quite a few mid 6's today!!!! They said something about them setting a track record for the 10.5 class last night, two cars ran 6.97!!!!! A camaro (think it was a 4th gen body) and an '05 bodied mustang! This event is sick, i'm so glad I made it out to at least watch one day this year!!!!!

Did you get a close up look at Anthony Disomma's new car? It was the Orange Mustang with a single 106. He should run in the 6's sometime this year too!

Anthony's car went 165 MPH to the 1/8 and 207 MPH to the 1/4. Those are new records for single turbo automatic cars.

With any luck we should be right there next to him once we get this car finished!!!

I was there with my friends Lou. Gary and Jeff. Lots of real fast cars this year, there was a white long nose Stingray TT that went 6.46@226 then a Mustang that ran 6.50@220 and Hardcores GTO ran 6.95@202 only .09sec off W/Ws LS1 record.

Did anyone go to the race today (Sunday) for the finals? We need an update, and did Hardcores GTO go any better?

Damn, I wish they could figure out a way to get this race on a weekend I could attend it!
Sounds like the air was good, and hopefully the track was hooking like it does when they actually prep it!

I got a PM from a local guy who went..........he told me the ET was 6.15 and the MPH was over 202 I just didn't get what kind of car.

Could have been that GTO? I worked all weekend, once again another year of a kaboshed plan to see this.

Derek I will be giving you a call in the near future to A) LOOK around the area to possibly relo there and B) to hook up a date for all of us to race at G'ville.

Claire,

Sounds good, will be happy to help, and hopefully we'll have a schedule for TNT next year here very shortly.

Definately, I am thinking Jan mid or late or even early Feb. I will probably try to get there twice.

But for the home prices and areas...........I'd like to see some or if you have in mind some nice areas to check out.

We are here for maybe 2 yrs..........figure June/July of 2007 relo to a new home and area near and excellent track.

I had to leave before the finals, but man what an event! I couldn't believe that the bubble for qualifying in the DR class was 8.65!!! I think the #1 qualifier was in the high 7's IIRC.

The final round in Super Pro Street was Shannon Jenkins and I believe Tony Gillig. The big dogs in the SPS class were all running mid 6's in the 215-226 range. I've never seen anything like this, and I can't wait for next year! Just an incredible three days of racing!

Last night was the two fastest runs I`ve ever seen at that event. The white Vette Stingray twinturbo that went 6.46@ 226 , right after that Stang TT ran 6.50@ 220. I had hoped Hardcore could run a 6.8 today but I guess not with the sun on the track today, too hot.
