I just replaced my 2001 L's original battery. It had 99,000 miles and 5 years on it so I can't complain. I put in a NAPA Orbital battery(thanks Chris) yesterday. I put my trickle charger on it since it had been several months since it was made. The charger brought it up to 13.4V. I...

There were 20+ Lightnings there last April. http://www.nmraracing.com/2003/event2/info/ Dan

While all you yankees(Jeremy) are knockin' salt and sludge out of your wheelwells, I went out and raced today. This was my first time since last fall. 56*f, bp/29.75, humidity(?) at SDR in Reynolds, Ga. 15 mins. after I got there, they call for the first runs. I lined up first and really...

Last February, I dynoed at 400/488, using another chip. Since then, I added a Gatorback belt, Plasma Booster, and a larger fuel filter(1998 Navigator). I dynoed my 01 L last Monday, using my JDM(J69) chip. My new SAE corrected numbers are 401.9/502.1! :thumbsup: . The a/fs(out the tail...

This happened Sat., the 26th of January at Silver Dollar Raceway. There were 20+ Lightnings--Gen1s and Gen2s at this track--the largest gathering of Lightnings ever at one place in the state of Georgia! The video was filmed, produced, and directed by cablebandit(2000 turboed WS6)--a good...

I was following a white C4(d/k yr.) with wide(6-8") exhausts tips and a LT4 badge on its rt. rr. corner. We were on a two-lane state road as the entrance ramp for I-75 came up. Yep, he's turning for the Southbound ramp too. This is a long, downward sloping ramp that merges into the 3-lane...

Go to dragtruks.com. Good graphics and colors--and a lot of quick(some you won't believe) pickups--all makes. List of quickest(Jason Browns' L) to the 'not so quickest'. Check it out--it's just getting started so the forums are weak but the lists are worth the look. Dan

Heard conversation yesterday on my CB--trucker said a federal judge had overruled the 'order' that allowed for cameras mounted on those poles along I-75 and other highways. Is this just CB b/s or true? Dan

Frin nite at the strip. He's a friend and has been helping/encouraging me into the 12s each Fri. We lined up and I had him by 2 or 3 car lengths up to the 1000' marker, and then he caught me--his [email protected] to my [email protected]. Oh, btw, it's a 2000 with an owner-installed turbo! He has...

but I finally got my '12'! 58 degrees, one of my 'few' good burnouts, and a good launch gave me a [email protected] with a 1.882 60' time. The time slip is at home(duh!) and I've forgotten the 1/8th. What a 'rush'--it felt 'different'. Btw, a WS6 owner/friend jumped out of his car, grabbed his...

Took my L to the strip Fri pm--had to leave the ET Streets at home because of scattered showers all around the area(in fact, strip closed early because of rain and LIGHTNING). Made 7 passes--best only a [email protected] F1s. Ricers all over the place! Young guys(of course, everybody's...

We talked briefly about gen 1 and gen 2 Ls. I try to get to Silver Dollar Raceway every Fri. nite. Maybe see you and your gen 1 there? Dan

I travel I-75 5-6 days/wk. It's 30 miles to my office--25 of them on 'the big road'. Have been doing this for many years. Speed limits vary from 70-65-55(thru Macon) mph. My bitch is this: Many, many times, I have observed 'official' state and county vehicles ripping along at up to 95...

until you've sat in your L, sitting still, WOT, under load, hood up, 'open' type air filter, windows down, inside a garage(doors open), and the wheels turning a Dynojet dynomometer! It's a little like a Marine fighter jet spooling up just before roll-out. I drove mine down to South Ga...

'It' keeps making me reregister--every time I wish to post? What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Dan
