It was an awesome day, I was having a blast till I got a puncture in one of my slicks... GR!

Got a new best MPH and matched by best ET all with a far worse 60' [tires are shot, new ones on the way] and in +800DA

Can;t wait for new rubber and a cool night at Atco YAY!

LOL

The day went well. I didn't think the track surface at Etown was even capable of being that sticky. I have never seen so many fast cars hook so well consistently.

The weather could have been a bit better and it may have helped if they started running a bit earlier in the day but all in all it was a great time....

I wish that STS Trailblazer would have ran, that was a neat truck....

Alex's car ran well, I saw Stealth's C5 run some nice numbers too. One of the local guys from down here in NC in an all-motor 43X cube set-up ran 9.8s on drag radials. The car was just thrown together, they were making shakedown passes at Moorseville Dragway (near Charlotte) as of 6pm Sunday night and managed to get it all packed up and arrived at Etown by 8:30am Monday. The car needs fine tuning, it carries the wheels which looks great but isn't the best way to get down the track.

I rode a sick wheelie to the 60' mark and FINALLY got my 1st 9 second run. I ran a 9.97 @ 138. My time was enough to take 4th place. Stealth Turbo C5, your car is bad ***.

I did not know they were handing out ribbons... seeing as how just about every car there was in a different category...

I guess I could say I was the fastest N/A Stock cube car at the "shootout"?

Congrats all, sounds like it was fun. So Laura does this show you as the 4th fastest car there... How many cars were there and what were the setups like?

Is this Alex? If it is you have a **** poor attitude. I never talked down about any other cars that were there, N/A or P/A. I thought everyone did a great job and if I recall, YOU borrowed an air compressor from "the nitrous guys". I also don't recall being told what kind of set ups everyone had only that they would be 9-10 second cars. If you can't run with the big dogs then keep your preppy *** on the porch.

Yes John I took 4th in best E.T. There were N/A and P/A cars there. There was a sick turbo Vette running 9.7's (if I'm not mistaken) but there was also a sick Trans Am running all motor who ran 9.8's. I don't really know the set ups of the rest of the cars but they were all in the 9-10 second range. You will have to wait for the article to come out to read about all the cars that were there.

I have a direct port nitrous system now, a tighter converter, and a 10-point cage. And guess what, I HAVE STOCK CUBES.
