i raced that day i dont know if u remember, she was driving real stupid if you recall. i spun my T/A out back in 98 too, my brother totaled his car head on into the wall last years 4th of july. I'm not worried, i either race a really slow car or a really fast one, everytime we race our cars its a risk, I just like going out there and doing burnouts for the crowd

I'll probably be cheering for ya from the start/finish line (good view there). I won the whole thing the 4th of July in '92. That was in a turquoise Beretta GT. I then made some contact with "the Cougar" while driving a '93Z a year or two later. I wonder what happened to him. Don't see him race anymore.

The all wheel drive import cars are starting to dominate over there.

2005 Silver 300C - it's home now!
2005 C6 Millennium Yellow Corvette convertible - on order
2002 Silverado HD - 8" lift + much more!
2002 Supercharged 8.1 Suburban - 13.93@ 95.79
2001 Grand Prix GTP - modified and for sale!

The cougar went on a losing streak and decided never to come back, kinda like the red camaro that we dont see anymore. I want revenge on the red mustang that raced my brother last 4th of july. If I get to line up with him that will be the race to watch.

That would be cool to do if you were the only car on the track racing for times. I wouldn't want to be on with some moron that plows into your car.

heres a good one for you guys, I pulled my air filter for the race. Seeing it gave me .2 and 2mph in the 1/4. I drove all the way to New Haven, CT and half way back til I realized I had no air filter. Jesus first no oil now no air filter, this poor car had no idea what it got itself into when I bought it.

I went to Seekonk onFriday, what car was yours ?

The crowd favorite was a 760 turbo Volvo wagon.

That 3rd gen blue camaro with the big hood was fast.

That green thunderbird was very fast too.

There was a red mustang that tagged another car, he was fast.

And the winner of it all was a 3000GT.

It was fun.

The car getting tagged is why I did not want to do it. Too bad you can't get on the track alone.
