Cool Memorial Day Racing

Had some fun yesterday after a somewhat big car show. Hope you enjoy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYOkE4ZBXnY

Also had another race which was shaping up to be a good one, but there were some issues. Both were members here, silverz28camaro vs camokid09


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GPsG50dEQ8

silverz28camaro blew an input shaft on that run. I think it's amazing the stocker held up to the constant torture he puts on it. On the bottle, it was probably seeing 650hp from the crank.

Camokid09 blew off the brake booster line while brake boosting, hence why he didn't go anywhere.

Yeah, the Camaro ran a best N/A time of 10.5x @ 127, so it was going to be very ugly no matter what. 200 shot would have helped. We didn't tell him it had a cam.

Against a bolt-on car, yes.

It lopes, but he's made a few changes (CR bump, FAST 102) so the tune is a bit off and takes a little bit to settle...guess he didn't think to wait around long enough to hear it idle.

Definitely should have man! Maybe could have bumped into you and included you in the fun afterwards.

Yeah it should pick up a pretty good amount of power between his few changes, and getting off the stock fuel pump will definitely help. I could see an easy 30hp gain from his changes.

I think you are using that as an excuse to beat on it.
