Default Sad Day @ E-Town

It used to be that the Firebirds and Camaros used to DOMINATE at these EFI events..

Today was a pathetic showing of F-Bodys.. Camaro's and Firebird's were the SLOWEST at the track.. losing to Neons and Evo's, and even losing to MOST of the Mustangs! (GT's, Mach1's & Cobra's)

The Era of the F-Body is rapidly winding down, with only a few diehards still staying with the F-Body. As a matter of fact, the only fast Chevys were the Vette Dr's 9.3 @ 154 and another white Vette in the low 11's.

It was also sooo empty, that I got tired of watching the same 14.1's and 14.2's that the SS's and Firebirds were running.. hell, even the QTP Red Cobalt (4 cyl) ran that...

Oh well..

just because people have fast cars doesnt necessarily mean they know how to drive them. My car with an intake and exhaust ran 13.2 last night in this weather at island with a 2.1 60 ft.

the EFI events have just lost a lot of their appeal for the f-body crowd i think.
it was cool when teh magazine presented the first few and had articles about them. then the coverage got to the point that it was 1/2 with 1 black and white picture.
other than e-towns schedule and this site i haven't really seen the event mentioned around or promoted very much this year.
i give props to QTP for stepping up to support an event that is based on a solid idea. someone just has to get to work on getting the hype out there.

later

First two orders of business are:

1) No more Junk food for Matt. He's finally losing the biatch ****.

2) Enforce the "Just Say NO to Crack" rule with George, mandatory overalls will do the trick.

Everyone of your posts are always how bad GM sucks, look what the stupid General did, now Camaros suck, there wasn't any fast ones....
Why don't you quit complaining about them, or build up a fast Camaro yourself?

Then your post would have read" my Camaro was the fastest car at the EFI event" instead of "Today was a pathetic showing of F-Bodys.. "

There, I said it; your posts are always so damn depressing, I know its benn said many times, but isn't there a good Mustang forum where you can find some new friends.

good call on that Vinny, But i also agree with chevytat2, the sound is the issue, how many fast cars can run there? if i went i would be right on the edge with sound, and no way am i driving 7 hours to maybe be able to race.
i dont think its f-bodies dwindling, i think its E-Town
