Glad to hear.

I ran about 10:45 after being in line for an hour, good thing is they had just re-prepped the track and my lane (right) hooked real good. Never again on a friday.

Went out there hoping to run my new 383. Got there about 8:30PM, line out into the road. Was crazy crowded!! Figured not worth wasting $30.00 (wife with me) to wait 1-1/2 hours to get teched and then sit in stage lanes and get one run in.

Next time, I'll get there right at 6:00PM and be ready to run!!

My car would not hook last night. I dropped the pressure to 20 in my Nittos and still spun through 1st and 2nd. It also might be part of not being able to do a real burnout with my clutch. Maybe I need to take a class on racing for idiots.

I wasnt far behind all that also. I did the same thing, let the air down to 20#s in my nittos, but I could not hook for ****. Ran 11.90 with a 1.96 60'
but it was @ 127 MPH. I was in the Spiral Gray C5......

I need to figure out how to get out of the hole with this thing because as soon as I hit boost it would break loose at 50 or 60 MPH every time.

Well i hooked on my first pass but got a miss b4 the 60ft and got a 1.62. second pass some guy passed up the second turn off and decided to stop right after the exit for a min then turned around on the track and saftey crew went out there and talked to him so by then my tires got cold and spun and got a 1.68(small burnout to begin with). and the 3rd pass was clean and hooked with a 1.57 60ft! Seemed pretty good to me and pretty smooth also! Also for those that werent hooking dont forget about the thousands of trucks out there on street tires not makin things any better.....

oh those damn trucks hahaaa its a street night event, the truck scene has taken over the track, go on sundays when its car day. j/k

most of those truck guys are idiots and have no clue what racing is. There just out there trying to be thugs, doing burnouts in the rock area, donuts in the parking lot etc. they need to have the police out there and take them all to jail, then the real truck enthusiast wont get bad names.

good luck on your quest for the fastest bolt on car.

Dang! just checked out your timeslip! thats an awesome short time considering how heavy you are! but yeah i definately agree the brick is hurtin ya though. When i had my last best of 12.26 i had a 1.72 60ft 7.771/8 at 89mph with a 109 trap. i know you are makin more power than me, and your 60ft and half track are faster than mine but the arodynamics kicks in to help me keep buildin up what you plannin on doing to get it there?

FINALLY! I'm sorry truck guys but it's been a long time coming. These truck idiots seem to follow our every move ruining the meets and the track all the while thugin it up to the max.

After studying their behavior profusely both on the street and the track I've come to the conclusion that they are
1. clinically retarded.
2. Hate their fathers.
3. Love rap music.
4. Have no lives.
5. come from broken homes.
6. Think a 300 crank hp, 5000lb truck can beat a 500rwhp, 3000lb car.

That's all for Meow.

lol, word son

All these ****** mojo's doing 15 second burnouts in their dropped flowmaster exhaust trucks on street tires to bust a 16 second pass. Not to mention all the ******* water they drag to the tree. I would have been able to hot lap the car had their been no trucks.

So time for a roll call for next friday! hopefully there wont be as many trucks... lol and this time im definately gonna be there at 6! got busy last time. Also I wanna get my chance to race this guy with a H/C LS1 (would have raced him but flaco broke his truck right in front of us and made me run a single, owell. sucks for ya flaco! sorry bro.) Hopefuly he will see this cause i know i have seen his car in his sig pic on here b4. Its white camaro with black hood if anybody knows him by chance.

Rollcall for HRP 1/23/09:
1) 500 trucks! lol
