Hi Jeff. We did the True Street event at Maple Grove with you back in 04'. Glad to see the car is getting faster. Cheers.

I haven't lived in macungie that long. I don't have a garage currently so the car is still at my parents. I have had it up at my place a few times this summer though. Maybe we could have a little get together in the macungie area one night.

It left good at first. It spun like 40 feet out. I had the power come in a little soon for the hot track. I was trying for a big wheelie for TV. It ended up running a 9.65 on that pass. Way off what it usually runs.

They were looking for 2 consistant runs. I went way quicker on the next run since it hooked. Here's what it looks like on a good pass.

RTK434;
Welcome to the club from Elizabethtown.

You haven't met everybody from Pennsylvania yet, I'm sure more will chime in.

Anybody from Macungie going to Das Awkscht Fescht this weekend?

Tony

I'm from Pottstown (30 minutes south of Macungie) but I lived in Emmaus, Allentown, and then Macungie within 18 months for school so I know a bit about the area and I've been to two car shows at Macungie Park.

I'd be up for getting together one night if someone wants to organize something.
