I was all over looking for you after your first run,but could not find you any where. Must be in a corner somewhere.stock50LX said:Due to my mechanical problems, I could not talk to as many as I wanted. I spent too much time taking valve covers off and extracting bent pushrods. Managed to limp home though.
Was it a black 90 lx coupe with a white hood? That was my wife, Jade. We had it turned down as low as it would go (10 psi). The track was way too cold for any power, it would light em up once it came into boost. It was good practice for her to learn to actually drive the car for a change. That was her first couple of times where it actually got out of shape on her and she had to get out of it. It's always been a point it and go car.time only said:It is cold at the track just standing there watching the races. I only stay until around noon,there is too much car/truck breaking down and wasted too much time. There was only couples of peoples from Stangnet I know and everyone else is too busy racing or out of their car. Was that someone here that went sideways a little on launch. Sound like a Turbo car...

Not bad considering my speed density 87 mustang ran a best of 14.8 completly stock with a 5 speed. Over a second faster and heavier to boot... SWEET

There were a ton of 05 / 06 GT's out there this weekend. Should have know you were one, I would have stopped by to say hello! I was talking to the guy with the Black GT "Bu Bye" with Nitrous for a bit though.smokedu1 said:Was it a black 90 lx coupe with a white hood? That was my wife, Jade.

Was wondering where you went.
-
Was great to see everyone again, and get some practice on the lights. My best was a .064 and every run was plagued with problems. My 4th gear went out again and continued to grind each run. I'd basically get up to 3rd gear and coast the rest of the way.
Was there before 8am, and only ran 4 times until about 4pm when we decided to leave.
The street legal lines were coming around almost to the gate from the parking lot. Lots of interesting cars to walk through the lines and check out and familar faces to catch up with to kill the time.
2bfeard, my friend got a few shots of your car at the line with my camera, I'll upload them when I get my memory card back over here. I also have a shot of John (Stock50LX) staged but he didn't center / zoom it well.
