I had a good time tonight, even though Wade beat me twice.

Jeff and I need a rematch since we both red lit. I think next time it will be a really good race. My truck was a tenth and half off of what I thought it would do, but I really think that it's all in the 60'.

Big thanks to Mitch again. He is always lending a hand helping anyone he can.

...also to Dave for the video.

Videos added as soon as I get them.

Paul's 2nd pass -nice run.
Wade
Darryl vs Paul
Larry vs Jesse
Randy vs Slowgreen99 -My camera sucks at night, gets blury sometimes.
Jeff
Camaro vs Nova
Smith brothers going at it again
Morey

ok,,,here are the "budget grudge races" I had set up.

Me vs Wade -- Very good race... Wade got me at the end.

Me vs Jeff - Jeff taking the win with a technical foul, but is giving me a do over.

A few more.
Nice MG
Wade
Larry
slow04
Darryl B.

Good night. Mitch, I can't thank you enough for all the help setting up the truck and thanks to everyone else for letting me use the tires, trailer and fuel. Fun night. Wade, it was nice meeting you, and I appreciate Jesse making me look faster by spinning out of the hole. I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself to him. Had a great time.

slowgreen99 · 04-14-2008, 12:19 AM

NIIIICE!! I know I went red, so ill go aghead and tell everyone now thats the race me and Randy had set up, knowing the L is a tid bit quicker than my turtle. Thanks Mike!

Jeff · 04-14-2008, 01:03 AM

Nice vids as usual !

Mike I like in the video how you look over and I'm no where around .

dkbmxer002 · 04-14-2008, 01:06 AM

thanks for the video! you missed the second pass, it put it on the bar and left a little nicer.

05Saleen · 04-14-2008, 05:03 AM

Nice Vid's. Had a great time!

chrisheltra · 04-14-2008, 06:51 AM

My bad. I should have zoomed out wider so I could have shown how big of a GAP there was!!!

But at the end you can see where you were catching him, I think you could take him on a 1/2 mile track.

Dave · 04-14-2008, 09:50 AM

Mike, does this mean that I'm not FIRED from the camera man job?

Mike · 04-14-2008, 09:53 AM

Nope, you did a good job on the videos. Although you did miss that fast turbo Mustang twice, and the other car that wrecked. I'll have to forget about that.

Thanks, but

1. I was very close to recording that guy wreck, but I thought you would get pissed for videoing something out side of CHP.com. I knew that since the track was slipper when dirty that he would have a hard time sticking those big ass tires to the track. It was very interesting to watch though.

2. The first time that fast turbo Mustang went by, I didn't know you wanted it caught on film, and then the second time was my fault b/c I had a mouth full of chili cheese fries, damn those things were good!!!!

On the upside, your battery lasted for a bunch of runs. I think it still had a 1/2 an hour left on it, or maybe about 10 more passes. All in All I had a good time watching you guys race.

SWThomas · 04-14-2008, 10:15 AM

Sweet vids! It looks like Camaro's were on the menu that night. LOL

1iron · 04-14-2008, 10:20 AM

Damn looked like fun. I hope I get my ignition box back soon. If not I'll bring the 66 next week.

Paul

That Camaro was much faster on his next pass.

Matts94Z28 · 04-14-2008, 11:54 AM

Paul, were you spraying out of the hole or do you have it on some sort of progressive controller? Looks you all of you guys had some good runs! I can't wait to get my car painted and tuned right so it will shift on time. I bet the guys who have seen me run think I cant shift hahaha

I wanted to make it out reaaaaalllly bad but finals are coming up and Tech owns me right now. I was busy writting a paper on the battle of hastings...

1BAD4DR · 04-14-2008, 02:01 PM

Ahhhhh the college life....dont worry i couldnt make it either cuz i was in florence for a off site lab for clemson....

Mike · 04-14-2008, 04:16 PM

Here are some of the videos off of Larry's camera:

Jeff
Turbo Cobra-Looks like he taps the guard rail.
Larry and Jesse's- Same race as already posted, this one is shot from the line.
Another one of the MG
Randy vs Slowgreen99 - Same race as already posted, this one is shot from the line.
Larry vs Yellow GTO- Same race as already posted, this one is shot from the line.
Larry's 1st pass
slow04 - from the line

Another one from my camera.
My truck- from the line. Truck was breaking up/running lean on this run, that's why I got out of it early.

Jeff · 04-14-2008, 04:57 PM

Nice video Larry , I really like the upclose videos where you can see what's going on !

And that turbo Cobra on drag radials was badass !

Richard Head · 04-14-2008, 05:32 PM

Damn, no one got a pic of Mory's hot launch. I heard it but didn't get to see it.
