Local Car Show Pics And Viper Nationals

[iwashmycar]

Went to a car show today at National Trail Raceway, pretty cool, lot of imports . But it was the Viper Nationals so that made up for it..

Check em out.

Hyundai Elantra....why?

I don't know either...

Nice RX7, but sadly about 15 min. after this pic i saw it getting towed away. Must have blown it up or something...

This thing had a blown 454 in the van compartment of the thing with the headers out the side. Bad...

Sorry that was me as you can tell by the last picture...forgot to log out.

Would have taken more pics but the camera died a lot. There were at least 50 vipers there.

Not as big of show i expected, but still fun.

You know what i found funny?

The viper guys CANNOT drive. I don't think there the words "reaction" and "time" in the Viper language...

Although the 2005 Viper that entered the drifting contest doing no-handed donuts was BAAAD.

I like those wheels on your car

It's got to be pretty hairy to learn and practice "driving skills" in a Viper. ESPECIALLY if you're not experienced. You just can't take a car to a competition if you're afraid of it or not very comfortable flogging it.

I remember my first experiences with a 300+hp stang and it took a little getting used to accelerating so much quicker. Previously, I had only been around 200-220hp stangs. Just felt like I had to focus a little more to get comfortable with how much road I covered in a shorter amount of time. Cool.

I've heard of a few new Viper owners who have totalled their cars within the first month of ownership. Vipers are something you should graduate to, not just start out on because you can afford it. Doesn't make sense, unless you really take the time to build driving skills.

Back to topic: Nice pics. You definitely need better batteries.

No. I need a camera that doesn't suck down a pack of brand new batteries in 10 minutes.

 

[95 Laser GT Ver]

use batteries designed for dig cameras.

Too poor. $3600 in debt from this stupid car at the moment...Errrrr.

lol...i find it funny that many of those guys could drive circles around you...do you realize that reaction time has ZERO effect on ET's and trap speeds??....also the fact that there were many cars at the V10 nationals putting down 900+RWHP, on a suspension that is VERY tight, and very much designed for the road course and NOT the drag strip...think you could put that kind of power to the ground? i doubt it...maybe you should head over to the Viper forums and post that they cant drive...

not to mention the 2005 Viper isnt out yet

Maybe the ones he saw got the car for the image? True about the RT's though (reation times not vipers lol).


Nice pics.

thats possible, but most of the poser guys/garage queen drivers or "windbreakers" as they are known in the Viper community dont show up for the V10 nationals...But in any case drag racing is a fairly new thing in the Viper world and there are even fewer hardcore draggers in the Viper world, but since David Boggs(Dr. Roof on the Viper forums) started the V10 nationals there have been some HUGE improvements. The thing with dragging the Viper is the suspension is SO stiff from the factory that drag racing is actually its weak point, the sheer factory power allows it to run sub 12 second 1/4 mile times from the factory but the suspension setup only hurts it. So many of these guys with 900+rwhp(Heffner and RSI have just recently built TT boost only cars that have 1000+rwhp) are running a very stiff suspension so traction is limited. The only guy i know of that has gone as far as to seriously start to modify his car for dragging is Tommy Fudge who has a custom built solid rear axle in the car...
