I HATE FRICKING COMPUTERS!!!

I typed up this long report about the SFT and somehow I erased it before it got posted! Will do it again when I have time in the next day or two!

Well who won what awards at the track?

Larry Dunlap

Yeah, I want to know too, I might have got best et, 8.4 or best 60;' time 1.8x. To bad there was no category for biggest difference4 in size of front tires to the rear wheels.

TexasLT1

nice Larry, sounds like I might have some competition now

Barry85Iroc

I think the Zapster won most if not all the track awards. My car is making significant improvements, though. My 60 ft. is killing me! But I'm working on it. Finally got over 80 MPH. 80.7. And, on that run, my torque arm mount came unglued! I want to run it in the 1\4. I think it might break into the high 12's. But I'm working on it!

Barry85Iroc

Ya can't win if ya don't show up!

Best reaction time--Steve (Sonar)--.520 on a .500 tree (although I never saw the time slip) can anybody verify that?

Best 60'-- ME (ZAP)--1.8314

Best ET--ME (ZAP)-- 8.5648 --I also had 2 runs that were 8.59?

Larry Dunlap

Wow, good times dude. LETS RACE. How about going out to Sealy this weekend, get Barry to go too. Looks like its a race for first car into the 12s between us. In my opinion Sealy is much better than HMP. You have a huge area for pits, meetings etc, and the racing is much more organized. They specify certain lanes for T & T and other events. I almost ran over some people at HMP just trying to get from the waiting area to the burnout area. Watching at HMP is pretty cool because the stands are so close.

Anyway, let me know if you are up for it. To quote one of your previous messages "aint skeered".

Zap Racing

Doubt if I'll be able to make it this weekend. Either going to the NHRA Nats at Baytown and watch the BIG BOYS run, or work--I'm snowed under at work and need to put in some OT.

Nice times Zap! Now I feel better that I probably wouldnt have had the best ET if I ran. When you guys were run 8.7's+ I was kicking myself for blowing that house during my burnout. Now I dont feel to bad. Also I can vouch for Sonars R/T I saw the run with my own two eyes.Maybe we can all get together within the next month or so to just hit the track again( I cant do it for a couple of weeks)? Although I would much rather go to sealy then HMP.

So who won the long distance award?
How's about making it the longest distance home with a broken car?...Steven wanted it

Zap Racing

Every time we have tried to do a get together at Sealy--NOBODY SHOWS UP!

Last Dec, when UTI rented the track, the tranny teacher extended an invitation to the Houston area Thirdgen.org club, which I passed along to everybody on the board, and nobody showed up, except Barry!

I'd be glad to get in on a Sealy thing, maybe even do it as a monthly meet, if somebody besides Larry, Barry and I show up!!!

I had a great time watching everybody race, I wish I could have had my car out there, but it was cool to take pictures of everybody racing. I would be up for going to the track again as long as I don't have to work.

I'm ready to go someplace! Maybe Friday night?

I'm sorry I missed the SFT. I was out of town on business.
After seeing the winning times, I'm REALLY sorry I didn't make it. I don't know what I'm running, but I think I would have liked my chances.

Anyway, I chomping at the bit to find out what I AM running, so I'm going racing somplace Friday or Saturday. I don't really care where. So if someone else wants to go, I'm in. If no one else wants to go...I'm still going!


So who is up for Friday night?


BTW Zap, was anyone interested in anything on my list of parts?

Zap Racing

I remember somebody looking at something on your list that they were commenting about, but don't remember who or what!

Give your swap meet thread a bump, or post a new seperate thread for your list?

Barry85Iroc

I'll go to Sealy on Fri.
