Flashlight races (legal racing)-- 1/8 mile (not timed, but lights do indicate who trips the sensor first)
Race 1--- Me (SLP lid only) VS 2000 M6 WS6 (4.10s, cam, full exhaust including headers, no cats, SLP intake,)
I had him off the line ( wow, he has 4.10s?) I guess he spun real bad--- had him through all of first, and most of second. He passed me in Third. Race ended My bumper was at his rear fender! -- I was feeling real good. Because remember I only have SLP lid. (I launched @ around 2k)
Race 2---- Some old Muscle car --Not sure what it was, Not Camaro, not Mustang, not GTO.. I am not good with old cars... Don't know his mod
But I won by about 4 cars.
Race 3 -- 4.6 Mustang Pre 99 style- intake, exhaust, headers, sounded pretty good... Some after market racing stripes :)
Killed him --- probably 4 cars or more. I am not the best judge.
Race 4---- 2000 TA A4-- Stall converter (I think 3800?) He had a book of all his time slips.. (His best was 13.01 @ 107 I believe. He was all into Drag racing. He had Mickey Thompson ET street Drag Radials, He had a Hyper-tech tuner - and was adjusting shift points just before our race. He had intake, exhaust
I beat him by about 1 car (meaning 1 car in between us)
My favorite race -- Race 5 --- LS2 - 6.0 GTO (Automatic) Intake and heavy aftermarket chrome wheels.
Beat him by about 1.5 cars
Last race-- Race 6 (feeling like I can't be beat)--- Went up against 2007 Mustang Shelby GT ( not the GT500, but a SHELBY GT) He said they are quoted to have 325 @ motor. He had Conical intake only -- only 2k miles on it.
I told him great I am "rated" at 325 too, and I only have SLP air lid.
I was alittle nervous, because I didn't want to lose. Flashlight (really a spot light, turns on.. and off we go..
This was my worst take off. No spin, but I bogged slightly--- I thought for sure I was done. but by the end of 1st gear I was past him.
I beat him by about 1.5 car @ 1/8 mile
My car lengths may or may not be accurate,
I started getting a small crowd of supporters, because I was beating everything I ran, (except that highly modified TA the very first time...
I don't know what all this means, because I ran a 13.7 only a month ago at the track.. But I do feel like I was getting much better launches at the airport, vs the track. LOL I do have a month of practicing --
Man It was fun.. and they have these races another two or three times before the summer is over. I plan on attending..
I could have gotten more runs, but I didn't want to "hot-lap" over and over. So I would park and mingle and find a someone to races, Start talking, and we ended up agreeing to race..
But 6 runs from 2pm - 530pm isn't bad...
