Default Centerville Grudge Match - 5 Mar 2011

For you local guys that want a piece..this is better than the street.

Track's open on the 5th and I'm goin there..it's in a week so save up your drug money, put some gas in your cars and let's do this without the drama.

I'm goin to drag some ***..not expecting to win everything, but it's goin to take some **** to beat it..that's the way I feel, I think my ride will turn down some good numbers.

So drag out that GTO Mike..bring that Mach 1 Matt, tag Kris along with the LT1 car..Nathan I want to see this monster Acura..Dan drag that truck out there and try your luck, you keep talkin about it so bring it out..and whoever else wants a piece..


No **** talkin here..just a simple statement sayin I'll be at that spot..weather permitting of course.

You said a mutual spot Matt..here ya go, nothin better than a track.

Who's in?

Last week of March. You should go. Show them texas boys how a Yankee can run his LSx MCSS. You'll be racing Supras, Vettes, Cobras, Lambos, GXXRs and all the likes. Hell, I wish I could go. I'm in England...

I think it may be earlier..Matt said after the 20th..unless he's talking about something else.

Where and how long is the track in Newport?

Where? In Houston, TX to be exact. They'll have track events, dyno events and stuff.

Newport Raceway, IIRC is a 1/8 mile.

I never once told you I was racing you tomorrow. Please show me that. You were running the cobra, the GTO, and the lt1. I told you from the get go, you get your *** whooping after Texas...or during if you decide to attend.

I guess it's how you read everything..not too worried about it, just a question.

It'll prob be a run at Memphis when that opens..I'll get my slips at Centerville here next week and use them as a good baseline.

I am not for sure if I race mike or not(but if I still had my car I would for sure). I know that there was a GTO with headers back cold air and a AFR gauge that I raced. I put a good bus on the car from a 40 and about 2 buses from a 20. there was a bike behind me that said the same thing when it was over and the Guy did not show up after the race. everyone called the guy a ***** for not showing back up. It was a 6 speed car for sure.

What color was it?

Mine and his race will be a dig, according to him I can't drive.. Which I'm trying to figure out seeing his 2.0 60ft on radials.

He shouldve taken my offer for it on the street..on track with my Radials I'll 60ft that MCSS pretty damn good..

Post a pic of your car, this dosnt sound familiar! I'm the only gto with a wide band that I know of but no other Gto has beat me by more than 1 car! where did this race happen!

Cant say for sure if I'm gonna make it to c-ville on march 5th, diff and gears might be installed that weekend!

My 60's have been 1.7's - 1.8's, I had issues with launching on the new clutch! Dont count on that when we race!

Whenever you guys get done petting each others nuts, make sure you get the races on video. All this hype and **** talking you'd think you guys were lining up some damn 6 second pro mods.
