That car (camn hawk) actually stayed there after the rental & got even better #'s out of it. Had a great time yesterday, didnt expect to win the N/A slick category. Cannot wait till next rental!

best run was 14.5@101mph with a 1.5 second reaction, second best was a 14.75@102mph with a .85 reaction, and the third run was my first and doesnt count :p

still had fun tho, by next year il be ready with a good clutch, and drag radials

and if memory suits me, its Morocco, NHRAFormy

You got a really nice car Cephiros

I had a great time.

Congrats too all those that had new best, great turnout, and some really fast cars.

Black TA with the gigantic hood was my friend Bill (onebadws6). He ran a personal best yesterday, as well as Sean (01-Z), myself, and Camnhawk.

i personally didnt care for the hood or no spoiler look, but with the way that thing moved, its hard not to like it, one of my favorite cars to watch race and kill everythign it went against.

Turnout was massive, I can't believe there were 101 cars!

That 85 El Camino had an LS1 in it too.

I had a good time, my first f body event. I got 1 11 second run in, before braking problems screwed me. Didn't get to make a bottle pass though. I will for sure be back next year! And how do I sign up to be a member of the MFBA?

It was good meeting some of you, didn't get enough pics or video. I did however, get tons of motivation to mod the car more! Not sure if thats good or bad.......

Since my TA is currently down I took my GTP out... was happy w/the results...

Only items on it are a fender wall intake and 3.4" pulley (which i still think is hurting me... I don't have enough supporting mods for a 3.4 and a Gen IV blower)

Started the morning w/2 2.5 second 60 foots... but then in the afternoon I cut a 2.2 , but final run of the day

2.069 60
9.397 1/8
14.678 1/4
92.34

I was happy w/the 60 ft... finally figured out how to launch the car w/out having it go all over... if my laptop didn't run outta juice I probably could have added more timing (was getting 0KR ) and maybe run a lil faster... but regardless the Fender wall intake gave me 2mph in the 1/4 so not bad for a hundred bux

Sorry to burst your bubble. But Dan the owner of the el camino has a decal that says LS1 but has an 5.3 silverado motor. We was going to put an ls1 in it but got a great deal on the 5.3 and he could not pass it up. But he still got that thing into the 13's with cheap street tires.
