Default Local armdrop event in my Turbo Turdgen Transam

This even is all volunteer based.Its an old small planes airbase and pretty rough strip.I had some fun picking on a Mustang and laid waste to him pretty bad.My 2nd run was against a C6Z. I was too cocky during that run.Hole shot him good..had about 6 cars on him so i lifted*big mistake* I began to coast and when he started to gather his **** up..i turned up the boost and meth and hit it again...popped my bov off the intake pipe and just edged me out at the line.

This is when i got attention from others wanting to run me but i had to fix the bov.Got some jb weld from neighboring racers..zipties etc and waited awhile to cool down and dry the jb weld. I wanted to run a friend in a hellcat ive beaten on the hwy before and get that on film but i wasnt ready to go.Though once i was confident to make another pass for the day,set out to destroy a new ZL1 camaro.There was close to 550 cars at this event..line ups were crazy long

Sweet set up! Gotta love runway races. I wish they would host an event like this in my neck of the woods. I live relatively close to a runway which is around 9000 ft. Oh well.

What were your times, btw?

Lol this i realised I need 2 cameras to get both front and rear view.I wasnt expecting to pull away like I was since traction is very limited there.I thought id be doing burnouts for distance

My times there were 12.7 LOL.They dont use a real timing system..more like stopwatch.

I am headed to the drag strip friday night and begin to dial in the car and see what it traps.
