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).

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.

I'm down like four flat tires

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 01-25-2013 12:04 PM

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

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.

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.

I wouldnt say I revved the piss out of the motor but I liked making noise with the Procharger.

a clip from the races last year
Im the 12 white 5.0


Slow 6-Don't take it the wrong way, but i have hard time believing you did any work on that turbo s. Maybe in practice, but that car made it the dictionary that night under examples of Rape.

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.
