Post any pics, vids or stories you guys have here.

The caddy ran well 12.2@116 and didn't break. I was happy with that so it went on the trailer before the rain hit......... Only to come off the trailer so we could load someone else on there IN the rain LOL

Stop bitching Steavis. That's what friends are for. Lol

I'm not bitching I told everyone if they needed it I would have it available

I like to hear some times people were running. I was gone all week for work and Friday night I felt really sick so I bailed.

I got a cool shirt and forgot to bring beer

I couldn't get off the trailer, sabotaged by a 20 dollar part.

Yeah that's rough buddy. Next time.

My slow shit went 13.2 with street tires and it has almost 183000 miles. Its getting some boost in the spring.

13.2 here as well. It has a ton more in it, it just wouldnt shift into second at wot. I had to get out of the throttle cometely to get it to shift. Good time though. Sorry to hear you had problems Mikey, i did t even know you were there!

I'd be calling WBD.

Yep, will be on Monday.

Fun times and I saw your run Kevin...you certainly had issues with that 1-2 shift, it sounds like it hit the rev limiter

Mike

LOL yep! It left pretty hard though!

It was a good time for sure! Wish I would have been able to get more than two runs in though

car went 12.1 @116. only got two runs. i would have liked to get one more shot. i had a half tank maybe i could have squeezed enough for an 11.9 if i didnt put so much in. idk just excuses right here lol. anyway, car went on the trailer before the rain in perfect shape and when i unloaded it it has a "noise" somewhere in the driveline. lol at least it didnt happen "at the track"

Was lucky enough (or unlucky) to get 4 passes in. First 3 were shit, missed 2nd the first run, bogged the launch on the 2nd, 3rd one I dont remember what happend, think I missed 3rd. Just overall had an off day and drove like shit. Then on my 4th run I quick staged and just drove right back into the lane that was being brought up to run. Had a decent launch and hit all the gears and finally ran a decent time, then when I was on the return lane I noticed my engine was only pulling half the vacuum it normally does, popped the hood and noticed my overflow was full, and oil pouring out of my breathers. I had added some timing and boost earlier that day which I shouldn't have with a stock engine, I just tried too hard to make more power that wasnt there. Pics of the damages later when I get the motor apart.

11.31@125.34

60' 1.751

Lynz Parks noticed me just as I was getting ready to leave and caught this video.

Dante in the other lane

car bogged like hell on that launch, but whatever gotta start somewhere! and as someone told me there, at least youre gonna look good losing!
