Does anyone drag race anymore?
I'm itching to see what the IROC does these days and of course I'm the fastest street legal 3rg gen in SoCal.

But I have CARB stickers so that makes my carbon foot print organic.

Re: Does anyone drag race anymore?
Irwindale or maybe Fontana if we get enough participants. Not sure on the date but most likely sometime in December.
What's the set up on the Iroc and what does it run?

Re: Does anyone drag race anymore?
Over a decade ago I built a 383 and put a a super ram on it.
I run a Tremec 3550 and it's seen mid 11's.
I have some ET streets in storage I'll pullout and see if they are still usable.
I think my helmet is too old and will need to be replaced.

I had a couple of those t5s fail on me.
My brother raced a 388 miniram a few years back. I think he was known as the so cal dyno king.

Re: Does anyone drag race anymore?
hmm that LS looks fast. I see it's got the new CA plates. How'd you get that to pass smog? Did you have to go to a referee?
Hi Vincent, it's been a long time. Hope Texas is treating you well.

No your right, I don;t play with the old V6 grocery getter that I embarrassed everyone in (you obviously were a no show), I was out last month in Europe playing around at 160mph in the BigBlock 550hp 3rd gen I directed the build and was coming down the back straight at Istanbul FomulaOne circuit at over 160mph in it. You are childs play littlle big mouth.
Ive had many past cars, and many victorious moments with every one of them- all the while you spend every dollar at your minimum wage job on your high school car living with mommy and daddy. If I counted 1 inch for every vehicle I've built and raced it is longer than that piece of tortilla you drive.
And lastly for the record, I was running 10.89 @ 134 mph on street tires (not drag radials, regular street tires) before you were born up at LACR in my Vette. You will never get there in your life with that POS.

Re: Does anyone drag race anymore?
Hey Vincent!
Im still around the tracks all the time doing this and that. I just do not and have never really posted what all Im doing in life. Have 3 projects going car wise so my hands are full at the moment with personal stuff (finally- I am usually helping others...lol) Ive actually been out to Texas as well and will be going back again probably over the holidays. Nick who is like a son to me moved out there and is working Dallas Forthwoth Fire Dept. I visit a little town named Granbury my last visit. Nick and I are getting into a little Miata build he is doing getting into the aftermarklet parts business- Nick is one hell of a fabricator and knows Jesse james very well- he was actually on Jesse's race team years ago as well.
We were starting on a dirt track enduro build but that got put on hold last year- I have plans to start flying out there more and enjoying life with Nick and his 2 yr old son as he grows. Do some ******* dirt track racing in texas...lol Where you at there Vince? I know you moved there but I do not recall what city?
ps- I also was in Germany recently running Nurburgring with 4 friends and 5 track car rentals which was a blast and a life long dream to drive Nordschleife. I had it down my first lap even- studied videos for months before I ran it (did my homework)
Been shooting a lot too- btw, maybe you are my new source for ammo once I hunt down these DACA ****s and use up some of my supplies...lol. We are really almost praying these dumb **** illegals riot.
Had one of the guys in that pic above move here to finish his masters at UCLA so I put him on my race team. He wanted to race so I built a Dodge neon enduro car 2015 that we pretty much dominated the series that year.He moved back before the end of the season so I did one more race by myself and brought the car home and cut it up. Went from 32nd place to first in 11 laps of a 30 lap race. childs play. I just get bored-= much more fun teaching others. My lifelong family friiend Dick Guldstrand died 4 days prior so I had to fortune to honor that trophy to him in front of 7000 fans. THe only trophy I will ever keep -in his memory.

Re: Does anyone drag race anymore?
Dwayne, good to see you are still around. I do it at Madras Dragstrip, Madras OR. Less than an hour from my house. Small, well run 1/8 mile strip. Best of 7.45@93mph. 1.60 sixty foot. Beats the heck out of those drives from the coast to Bakersfield. Then only get in three runs. That was a long time ago. 2002......
