Just now walked in from Houston Raceway. I got in 3 runs in my stock 98 automatic

Weather wasn't the best, but here are the runs.

Run #1 against 05-06 GT with girl driver

R/T: .335
60' : 2.266
330: 6.396
1/8: 9.772
MPH: 73.39
1000: 12.685
1/4 : 15.145
MPH: 91.24

Result: The girl took me by 3-4 car lengths though not as bad as I was expecting. LOSE

Run #2 against multicolored sunfire gt with unpainted bodykit.

RT: .683 (wasn't ready )
60': 2.362
330: 6.533
1/8: 9.933
MPH: 72.95
1000: 12.852
1/4: 15.318
MPH: 91.09

Result: Walked the Sunfire by a long shot WIN

Run #3 against 02 SS with stripes.

RT: .223
60': 2.300
330: 6.476
1/8: 9.880
MPH: 72.83
1000: 12.801
1/4: 15.266
MPH: 91.16

Result: Cut a great light against the SS which I feel caught him off guard. I took a decent lead on him but he was reeling me in before I hit third. I assume he missed a shift since he couldn't pull past before the finish. WIN


Stock 98 auto with 145k miles. Just wanted to get a baseline before things begin to change

I had an SS until the 1/8th one time before my cams...now it would be a good run. I can cut a pretty good light.

Well he staged before I even got the chance to pre-stage. He cut a horrible light and might have even stalled . By no means am I saying my car is faster than a camaro, hell the car is slower than a lot of ricers

I was somewhat surprised at my 2.26 60'. I didn't think this POS was able to cut a 2.2

Sad thing is... Even though he had all those problems with the launch, he was still reeling me in at the end Stock automatic NPIs for the lose

The 15.14 isn't too incredibly bad being that I was expecting 15.4-15.5. I won $5 from a family member that said the car couldn't pull under a 15.5

It's soon time to begin the mods. I'm waiting for the last bit of the annuity to come in before I drop some cash.

hahahaha man that would shoot my confidence down if i had a family member bet me my car wouldnt run under a 15.5 lol. Me and my dad actually have a bet when he is finished restoring his 66vette. We are racing for slips even though he already owns my car lol if i lose i just wont get to drive it anymore. Its only a 327 3spd but has 300hp and 360tq and weighs 3000lbs lol he is keeping it stock no mods but just making it a show car but wants to also drive it daily. Im excited for him to finish it because its an awesome car but i think i might win just mayb if he cant get that light a$$ thing to hook up.
