1cheff.gif OK so I finally got some HP and want to have fun at the drags. Well just running down the drags by yourseft to me isn't that fun. I want to race. I don't care if I get beat ( which I have not been yet) I'm not a show off and don't want to sit at the drags to talk and look at other cars I want to run them. I sit and wait for someone to line up and noone does. A few cars have lined up so Props to those few. What about all you big ballers with high HP cars. I see you at the drags but I don't see you racing anyone just flying down the drags. What up. are you guys scared to get beat and look bad? 1cheff.gif I know a few that fall into that catagory. I want a piece of a few cars out there if they would ever have the coconuts to line up. before I get a bunch of comments on if I was faster they would race me, I will tell you that on my gps I am hitting 110mph. with my wheels on the ground. Also before I hear the dumb comment of put up or shut up (meaning $100 per race) well I am will to ponie up some cash. I really dont' think many cars will beat me in a 1st gear rolling start. All you big guys want to start in 3rd gear doing 50mph at the start what a joke. Yeh I know I am starting the summer smack talk early but since my season is over and may starts my summer run season I would bring it up now. What about a summer HP wars. Can't think of a better time to have it. I am all over racing for some beer.gif rant over. peace.

We should list up whose rail and what engine/trans they are running, maybe add in rail/engine/trans cost to get some bench racing going.

I programed the gps in your car last weekend......it adds 60 MPH to the readout to make you feel good!!! I did it for a confidence booster........I didn't realize you would post this!!!!!

I started out going to Gordons. Drags there were great. Glamis drags are just a showboat thing.

I think we ran about tweenty times Paul but my little 2.0 subie it didn't have chance....
Dirtywhiteboy
Paul, sometimes we have to run the drags solo so we dont rear end ya, making your rear engine a mid-engine. LOL
You can't threaten us with a good time. Anytime big boy! I will start in 1st or 5th, you pick.

I was waiting in line Sat night around 6:20 and as you left you drove by going back to camp. You were on the dune side maybe 4 cars from the start. I was hoping you would come over. Next time I will get there early. I would have love to race you bill. wouldn't expect to win against you. Your car is setup sweet. But next time I see you I will just pull up and say hi and lets run.

Always good times. I would be honored to run with you. I smell some sweet summer runs bro.
Dirtywhiteboy
We were thinking Easter, then say last weekend in April, then middle of May, then all 3 of the full moons through summer. The season is young and so are we!

All in good times. We were all duning then took off for the drags. I ran so many times I was almost out of fuel considering the dune run before hand.

We'll have some fun next time.

I don't know who was the guy on the right. He was wheeling a lot though. The guy to the left of me on the original picture was a DTD twin turbo (very fast) and to the right of me was the very cool Wicked car (very nice people BTW).

Bring a trailer with you if you come... You will be to embarassed to drive back after getting beat..... pponie.gif pixie.gif
Squatcher
Beat I don't think so but if it ever did happen I would have to give a beer to the winner. All good fun. Maybe only one that scares me is wildbill. I don't think the rest you can keep the front end down. I love a good bench racing thread. I can't wait for summer runs already.

Who is that crossed up on the drivers left (screens right)?

That was the rail below. Not sure what the problem was, but every wheelie he would pull to the left.

Which car? This one or the old one?
Squatcher
So it looks like DWB, wildbill and CGhitman are the only ballers that will line up. Just like the post said. I know there are more than 4 fast car out there. No one else wants to risk looking bad I guess. Well to you other 3 guys listed props to you and I will see you out there. The rest a chicken poop! and scared to have a real race. Now I know where the term ballers icon_bigcry.gif comes from.

Perhaps the drags isnt the right place to find out who is REALLY the fastest...Perhaps if there was an event that was in the dunes but timed. I don't know, maybe a hot lap and two timed laps on a designated DUNE course. An event like that would separate the men from the boys! laughing.gif


What a great idea huh???

RBJ, they would loose. Only those with golden F badge have a fighten chance. We just go straight and occasionally pull a turning brake when we hit the store and need to make a sharp right to olds. smile.gif

The track has big bumps in it now. I don't think you have big enough shocks. 1cheff.gif


OB I am ready for your 500hp ls. We all know what you got. But since you don't go to glamis anymore we will never get the chance.

Here is from another post from bruce "Billet fuel rails are standard on all our LS1,2,3's and he really did buy a CARB legal engine, you know sometimes you get one that runs better than others OB got that one!!!
"

Translation= Cammed and about 500hp. What do you thinka 510 package is. LS1 tuned and with a cam.. Sorry I am going to miss you guys. I am thinking about summer runs already. Doing some maintance, suspension work and new rear seat config. May is going to be my next trip and all the summer runs.
