all the loading for nothing^^^ both cars were not allowedon the track.
but the camaro put down with a 10.78 at 131 with a crappy 1.68 sixty due to a clutch that is no more.

don't worry man... there are always people out there that will bitch...
i heard that the track was hooking.. all my buick buds were pulling off great 60ft's.. one had a 1.39 on a foot brake launch.. trans brake launches were around the mid 1.4xs...
i guess that people breaking drive shafts and rear ends meant there wasn't VHT down for grip ..
as for the starting time.. PEOPLE this was the first event, things happen..
THANKS for putting on a GREAT drag event (just wish i had my GN still)

We started around 10:30 and ended around 5:30. I thought track prep was nice! I had never felt such a sticky surface! Although it sucked cus i didnt sign up for a bracket, only test and tune. The whole day was set up for bracketing tho, so normal racing had to wait over and over again! I raced almost everytime and only did 6 runs!
Then right as I am getting the track and car figured out, they shut down early!

The only complaint I have is the late start time. Was the ambulance late; is that why? Otherwise I am very happy and I cant wait until next year. Big THANK YOU to Mark and all the people who helped to put this event on.
Oh, and my time? Well I had the "slow" setup in my car because we concentrated on my dad's car (Dyno Don, went 12.63 @ 108.60 with a TPI, all engine). My best was 13.23 @ 105, which isnt my best but its the fastest I've been at that track. Fontana has never agreed with me, I miss Carlsbad!
PS: Where are the pics of the bikini girls???

This LT1 made it in the 11's.
This was my first time in the Bird.
First run, 12.29 @ 113.
Second run, 11.9 @117.
Third run, time for a new clutch.
Will be back next year. Great event. Thanks to the sponsors and to everone involved in organizing the L.A. Invasion. Enjoyed the Dyno. Thanks to Haddad Motorsports. Even though I froze my nipples off, the cruz and bbq to big bear was a blast.

I got 2 runs in before I got bored waiting for the brackets to be over with... So I just loaded up the car and watched the rest of the day.
I know the car is capable of 12's at that track. Out of the 2 runs, I ran a 13.4 @ 108 with a 2.2 60'. I just couldnt get the clutch to slip enough to give me a good launch and I didnt want to twist a driveshaft either. So I was stuck in bog town off the line.
Overall though, it was a pretty cool day. Just wish there were no brackets, I would have been knocking runs down all day if that were the case.
Hopefully next year we will be able to talk the track into letting us use the parking lot that was reserved for the band and car show for a nice little auto-x course. That would be sick! 1/4mile and AutoX all in the same day.. Now we are talking!!!

Nice to get to run with all those "fast" cars!
I wish they had started on time, I got five runs which was 3 TNT and 2 bracket runs.
At least there didn't seem to be any huge incidents on the track...
I ran 13.4's all day.. I even won my first bracket.
My personal best was a 13.35 @ 101 with a 1.87 60 foot.
Brand new motor, haven't had it tuned yet... Be afraid.
