Texas Motor Speedway Drag Nights

[NoSlowGT]

Hey guys, didn't know if anybody here went to the Drag Nights at TMS this past summer? I went a few times and it was a blast. Obviously they aren't running right now cause of the weather, but I'm sure they will start back up in May.

There were a few black 5.0's draggin some SS's all summer so I didn't know if anybody on here was one of the guys puttin a hurting on the bowtie boys?

[BLK2012GT]

Oh I will be for sure this year.

[Grandpa]

We have to make a group function with something like this. Would be a good time.

[BLK2012GT]

I'm in!!!

[NoSlowGT]

Honestly, I think it's better than Sanger. Yes, its only a 1/8 mile and they don't record your time, but they run the cars back to back so you're not waiting 5 minutes between each race, and the guy that picks the races lines up the cars everybody wants to see; aka ZL1 vs GT500, 5.0 vs SS. Plus, if you're not racing you can watch and drink beer (coolers welcome).

Also, if you go early, you can pay $20 and drive around the actual track, which is pretty cool if you've never done it!

[BLK2012GT]

Hell yeah its like in that gay movie fast and furious. RACE WARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:fuckyea:

[DirtyD]

I went in 2011, when slow6 had a running car (before the motor blew and the turbo build started) and I plan on making it back out there this summer.

[NoSlowGT]

Hell yeah its like in that gay movie fast and furious. RACE WARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:fuckyea:

LMAO kinda similar, but no fools runnin Honda '2000s

[03MachMe]

I would try and make it if I can get a. Sat off lol

[downtime!]

Hell, I'd even make this one. It's even on my side of town.

[Midnight11]

I'm down!!

[SS KLLR]

My specialty. I'm down!!

[merlinmol]

Missed out on the last one, hopefully I can make it out to the next

[BLK2012GT]

Yeah I'm in.

[unreal]

Sounds great. Track here is normally run from 11-2 at night and if you are lucky you get 3 runs. Most of the time you get 1-2 runs.

[Luke]

For those of you that have been, is this worth it considering it costs more and Northstar is right down the road?

[DirtyD]

There is a car show you can be a part of, you get to make a lap around the track between warmups and the actual races starting, and they also have a points series, so you can eventually win a trophy and I think a small goodie bag of sorts. I think so. Lots of people come out.

Been several times for the past couple years.

Its armdrop style racing on an unprepped surface for $20.
Practice is from 6-8pm
Once the event starts at 8:30 everyone is grouped up according to modifications and vehicle style from tuner to outlaw.
If you jump you are disqualified.
If you lose a race you can buy back in for $10
If you lose the following race thereafter you cant race any longer.

Ive made it to the semi finals and ive lost the first race in the sportman division. Traction is a problem. Thinking you're gonna run a radial or a slick? Think again. The officials will bump you in a higher division for just tire. My experience is most of the GM guys are not truthful about their mods in order to gain the upper hand.

Ive gotten lots of video and pics from the past few years, but to avail at the moment.
60% of the cars on this site with be grouped in the sportman division and heres the typical competition for those interested. A few of these vettes can 60' on street tires and do so consistently.

That's why you get as many practice runs as you can if you know you will eliminated quickly. LOL

Very True. I like the competition, but sometimes the cheaters out there ruin the fun for others.

For example. White SS camaro that won the Sportman last year.
As you know sportsman is pretty basic bolt on NA 8 cylinder class.
Ran him many times and he always had this edge on me in the higher rpms.
Said his car was tune, exhaust, intake.....
This dude was embarrassing same year camaros with the same mods.
Found a thread from earlier that year outlining an ADM Performance built motor that was put in that car.

That's crap. I know there isn't really a way to control that type of stuff, but I wish there was. I think the only way to do that would be to time bracket, but that would require them to start timing...

The tech inspection is pretty lousy, they just check to make sure you're not leaking fluids. They never pop the hood and just take your word for it so guys take advantage.
Ive met some good people out there and some shitbirds. Overall with a good group of people from a forum going, an event like this can be fun.

If we get a big number of DFW5.0 members to come out, it might turn out to be fun. Lots of people will be gunning for us though. Maybe we can somehow pass Jeff off as still stock after his motor gets finished...the cams aren't too lopey I heard. :D

[Grandpa]

We could also talk to the them about giving us our own grudge class to race eachother if we get enough members to go.

Was wanting to do that. Did it 3 times in the mach but want to do it in the '13

[Joey289]

I have been wanting to do the laps for charity in my 65 now that I have a transmission in it that I can cruise faster than 65 mph for extended periods of time (4:30 gears lol).

[brtnstrns]

I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for updates on this. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun. Especially now since I've got a decent car that will hopefully be running/driving properly in the next couple months.

[Dark Pony]

I'm down like four flat tires

[Slow6]

Ill be out there this year if the car is finished. My issue not last year but the year before was the dumbass class arrangement. I had a basicly stock car with a procharger and I was thrown into the top teir class with full drag cars. I made a show of it but had my ass handed to me by the big boys. Traction is the biggest problem out there. The practice time is when you do the grudge racing. I was running some fast cars and beating them in practice but never got the run them in a race. Ill need to cover up the blowoff noise somehow and then I can run in a lower class and do good, or Ill need slicks to stay in the outlaw class.

You don't want to race that black TurboS again!?!? :lol:

[Slow6]

Yeah I did do the show and shine each time. Kinda a waste of money but whatever. I got kicked off the track, when you get to drive around the oval, because another car and I stopped on the back stretch and raced to about 140 then hit turn three and four at 120+. I had a small drift out of the middle of turn four that I thought was pretty cool but the track guys didnt think was. I still got to drag race that night but they didnt let me stay on the front stretch during the show. lol

[Slow6]

That damn car was quick. I remember beating him once but thats was it. At the end of the track that guy had me by a few lengths. The skyline was fun to race but the CTS-V was actually not that fast for the power he was putting down.

Yeah, i remember your car. During the drive around i recall you downshifting and doing short WOT bursts and generally revving the piss out of your motor. Im sure the spin out was the icing on the cake.

[Grandpa]

The turbo Porsche's are seriously under appreciated how fast those cars can be on the street. They dead hook and have some serious top end with very little mods.

Off the line through second we were dead even and then on the third shift he started pulling hard. In a 1/4 mile race he would have beat me by bus lengths. it was a very impressive car. But at that time I was only running 430rwhp. Not the 550rwhp on the E85 tune. I think I could have beat him pretty good on the E85 tune.

Another 120hp is cool but, you need a slick.

I remember that black C5 vette from '11. That car was the only one that gave te TurboS any competition, and it still got it's but handed to it. I think he was a built motor with NOS or something along those lines. Fast car though. The Hennesy CST-V coupe wasn't that impressive from what I remember.

That CJ straight raped that Camaro in the first race of the video! And the Camaro even had a good car lenght start. haha

[Slow6]

I was running 275 Conti DWS then and they were a horrible tire to launch on. Straight line traction has always been my issue in this car. My car is setup for roadcourse so a slick still wouldnt solve my traction issue. I would need to replace the suspention also. But I dont drag race so im not really all that worried about it. Hopefully with the boost controller I can dial in traction and control it better. But we'll see.

They disqualified that CJ for jumping in that first race. He wasnt upset since the alternator went out after that run.

I may come out to this again this year. I won the championship in outlaw the first year in my 66 mustang, but I have not been back due to the way the event is ran. Last year I made an appearance and watched the race and found several cars in the sportsman class with built motor and heavily cammed. Yet there racing bone stock cars or cars with just bolt ons. They do not thoroughly check out yours. All you do is write all your mods on a piece of paper and they take your word on it. If anyone has any questions ask me I'm good friends with the head tech guys for drag and brag and can get all your questions answered before the event.

As someone who has run in the sportsman class for 3 years i cant help but agree with this post. To me its not about the price to enter but the class match ups suck. You would think having officials and tech present at these events, there would be a little more car analysis in who's got what done.

Yea, I heard this from a couple of people, but I just plan watching honestly and see if I can drive my car around the oval (which I think I heard someone mention that they would let you do that on these nights)

Yes internal. If the mods in your sig are current you would be sportsman.

[DirtyD]

That is exactly what I was about to type. The way it sounds, anyone with a stock sealed motor should be sportsman. That's what the hoopla was last couple years about Camaro guys running quiet cams, heads, and other actual engine upgrades were stuck in sportsman.

If possible get there between 5-6 and go through tech. They will have practice runs going on and you can line up with whomever.

Oh, that's your car. I saw it out at C&C this weekend. I thought you had the 19" premium wheels on yours, at least that's what I think it had when you mentioned seeing me on Rufe Snow. I'll say hi next time.

No timeslips pretty much makes it a waste of time, especially in the heat. I might make it out to watch if a group ends up going.

[JDMLOL]

What's the entry fee to watch? Will there be a spot to park near dfw50 guys running, even if I don't?

[DirtyD]

You can park on the infield for $20. Racing is $20 and spectator outside parking is $7

Courtesy flush that white camaro is from camaro5 his screen name is Sasquatch 1984 he is running headers, cam, heads, exhaust, cai, tune, and gears, I have his posts from when he was bragging about running the stock cars, a bunch of guys turned him in last year and the officials did nothing, the track is Chevy sponsored so... but yeah he is 100% cheating.. can only run a 12.1 with all that mods.. so its still pretty sad

Yeah I spoke with him online and one of his camaro brothers turned him in to the tech judges, they did nothing.. I get running the stock class with a cai. And tune.. but gears, headers, cam ... etc..

Have you run out there in previous years?
If so what car?

Sounds like he's been out there before. Even his intro thread mentions it... and the evil villain sasquash1984!

Do you get to do any kind of burnout?

Ford Play is definitely holding some sour feelings towards this guy.

Yes they will have a burnout area just before you line up.

[fordplay]

The first couple of years I was running an svt focus. Last couple have been my 2011 mustang.. I'll be at the grapevine meet and greet. 2011 sterling grey, gt premium, glass roof, brembo pkg, hood scoop, brake scoops, side window louvers.. as for the camaro I hate cheaters and liars. He's both. I get even modded its slow as shit but fing man up when called out.. the z06 running nitrous admitted it.. still got owned by the cts-v but admitted it..

[46Tbird]

I would hate to own a shop that put out a modded-to-hell Camaro that runs a 12.1.

heads done to 10.9:1, only thing stock on that motor is pistons.

If guys wants to cheat...let him. Nothing you can do, its embarrassing enough to drive a 500HP car that can only muster 7.9 1/8ths. We have stock cars around here running those times.

[DirtyD]

Nic SHOULD even be faster than that. With much more seat time of course (not knocking you at all, just saying)

Pretty sure my wife can drive a car with Nic's mods faster than a 7.9, probably texting while doing it

And that wasn't a knock at you, just saying the mods you have

[Midnight11]

Well okay I took it as a knock bc I'm tired of people always saying shit. I've dragged race 3 times and have gotten better every time. My slammed stance kills me and I'm just too lazy to change it lol

[Luke]

I kind of figured you did, that's why I mentioned it. No offense man, I was just referring to the power your car makes and was being a smartass. Once you get the burnout and 60' down I'm sure your times will get a lot better.

[DirtyD]

I need to get a helmet tomorrow....

[BeastStang1302]

How late does this go on til?

[DirtyD]

We are still here, about to make the second pass. It will go until at least 11-11:15 tonight

[BeastStang1302]

Coo, ran into traffic on 114. I'll just see you all the meet tomorrow

[DirtyD]

Nic and I left. I lost the Courtesy Flush on round two of the buybacks. Beat a 08 challenger by a buses, and got taken up top by about a car or so by a worked over TT 300ZX.

I had tons of fun and will definitely be back!

[Courtesy Flush]

Made it to the finals. Lost to the Tesla model S.
I kept getting my hopes up about him running out of batteries.

Got some videos to upload as well.

Badass man! I definitely need to get a real tune and a few other goodies.

I wish I could have hung around, but I had to get home to the dog. That was a good run we had going...until I didn't quite put it in 3rd. :lol:

[NoSlowGT]

I think that Tesla surprised everybody. Those things are so damn quick I almost felt bad for the guys that were racing him lol.

I know! That shit was insane!!

Paul just told me that y'all were there last night. I would've come said hey if I had known that.

Get him to join over here. Stop dealing with Chris. Haha

[Rforbes]

It is a great atmosphere out there but it is just near impossible for me to get any kind of traction even with drag radials. I go to the second round in the outlaw before spinning them half way down the track. I wish they would hold this at Northstar or something. Still a lot of cool cars. The Tesla was bad.

[sasquash1984]

hey guys hows it going

[Grandpa]

hey guys hows it going

Welcome to the board. Please make a newbie thread in the intro forum. :)

[sasquash1984]

in a bit, how far did that tesla get friday

[Midnight11]

in a bit, how far did that tesla get friday

i think it won

[sasquash1984]

thats crazy, i have seen them run 12.3 in the 1/4

[sasquash1984]

did yal watch the lucas gtr verus the suburu that was bad

[Midnight11]

yes the sti killed that gtr

[fordplay]

1984 I saw you jumped up a class to outlaw.. you have my respect back ... ahhh kinda anyway.. ha ha. So who is going back Friday? I'll be there. I want to see a special class, everyone vs the diesel JR towing truck!!!

[DirtyD]

I wanted to see that truck run. It probably would stop the earth if it could get traction.

Naw I'm running super car

[fordplay]

Oh. OK well I wish you luck in that class sir.
Dirty you didn't see it... that truck is ridiculous awesome

[sasquash1984]

Trust me I have my work cut out for me between the 2 gtrs the 89 fox body who went to the finals and that 750 hp zl1 that I almost beat and the blue camaro half of the class will beat me but it stills fun

[Slow Five-O]

How fast are these cars running? Is the track prepped and does it hook?

[sasquash1984]

Each class varies I usually get to 93 at the end, it's not a true 1/8 mile non prepped just asphalt. I heard 1 car in Sportsman is running 101 mph lol

[DirtyD]

Maybe that Tesla. Haha

But seriously, that is hauling ass in 1/8 for the rules they have laid out. Most of the sportsman class should be around 90 trap on 1/8, maybe a little more.

[fordplay]

So who is going Friday, I'm still questioning the Tesla in the v8 class...

[sasquash1984]

I'm going again

[Courtesy Flush]

So who is going Friday, I'm still questioning the Tesla in the v8 class...

Its fair, especially considering he loses power as the battery drains.
Since the cars are fairly new, there is no perfect class.

Problem is he hits full power out of the gate, whereas we have to build rpm to get to full power. He said he spins, but its minimal.

[Midnight11]

if we get a good group going i might

[Smurf50]

I am tempted to go since I actually have a Friday free :) I haven't run the car, and it would be nice to get some baseline launches in!

[DirtyD]

I probably won't be there this week. I'll spectate next week though. Going to definitely go again the night before the Dyno day at Brooks, and then again that following week.

I should have my tune ready by then. :D

[01BeansGt]

Are et streets allowed in the super car class?. I consider them drag radials, even tho they look like slicks.

[sasquash1984]

Yes they allow drag radials in all classes now, only outlaw allows slicks still

[01BeansGt]

Thanks. I just didn't want them thinking my drags were slicks. See you there man!

[sasquash1984]

Who wants to do practice runs tonight before the show, imma try and be there by 6 hopefully

[DirtyD]

I won't be there. Probably try and come out next week though. I can't make it until like 7:30 however.

[5PointSlow]

how do they class the cars that have aftermarket blowers?

[DirtyD]

how do they class the cars that have aftermarket blowers?

Most likely super car class. If you are blowing the doors off people in that class, then they will bump you to outlaw next go around.

[sasquash1984]

U beat that gtr guaranteed outlaw

[DirtyD]

U beat that gtr guaranteed outlaw
Yup.

[Rebelracer568]

Odd are you'll be in super car or outlaw

[01BeansGt]

If I get there in time, i'm down. Imma try and be there by 6:30ish or a little earlier. I'll be in my 01 gt.

[01BeansGt]

Anybody else going tonight?

[Courtesy Flush]

Out.

Going fishing early tomm morning.

[Midnight11]

Going to the coit meet

[fordplay]

I'm just leaving work... should be there around 8

[sasquash1984]

I'm still at work hoping to make it

[DirtyD]

So how'd it go tonight, fellas?

I had fun, made it to the second round and lost to sasquash. Great guy btw. I'm looking foward to next week. I just gotta practice my lauching and not get anxious lol.

[sasquash1984]

the zl1 that was bad last week blew out the foxbody on round 2, I won against a 2012 shelby then 01beans, then back against the zl1 linkenfelter in round 3 final 8, finals were a camaro ss and shelby......but i cant help wondering how a 416 cubic inch motor can beat a gtr. and it was nice meeting someone from the boards, i do know the 5.0's dominated the sportsman with 3 being in the final 4. now who the hell has the blue 5.0 in outlaw shit that car was fast

[Midnight11]

prob shawn if it was kona blue

It was good meeting you man. I was surprised aswell with the camaro beating the gtr. Lol the blue 5.0 belongs to a friends friend(matt being my friend) lol Matt from Gear Heads was driving it. That thing was on only 8lbs of boost!! Lol and still on stock motor! Lol

Wasn't me lol unless there is another dude named Shawn here with a kona blue car.

Its working. I can out launch him every time, but he pulls hard up top and i cant keep up. Too bad the one of me knocking him out in the semi finals due to him missing a gear hasn't surfaced. If you missed that race it was so close.
Pedal fest with me edging him out at the very end.

That's not Nic. Headlights aren't HIDs, and the tail lights are 2011-2012.

[fordplay]

Steve it is fun!!! And... I was even cheering for our camaro driving friends when they were not up against the mustangs.. even when not racing watching the others is a lot of fun.. like watching that diesel truck destroy his steering and drive into the grass!! That was fun.. I'm starting to feel bad for the corvettes though.. getting owned by camaros and mustangs...
