Met a pretty cool Vette owner last weekend, and we ended up playing a little on the highway, but the car was just picked up that day after supercharger install, and he was not used to it yet. We talked a bit about the cars and decided we needed to meet up again and try the races again. Fast forward to this past Friday night, and we were armed with Gopros. :rockon: His wasn't pointed in the ideal direction, so we didn't use that footage. Mine was pointed straight out the side from the top of the back window.
He actually has a pretty wicked Cobra too, and is on this site.. I'll let him chime in if he wants.
Setup for the race:
We met up at the Mexican border, and hit the road. Decided to do 40-130 pulls. Due to him not being able to hear the horn last week, we decided for him to slow down, then when I gear down we would go. Didn't work out exactly time wise, but was fairly close.
First run, he spins pretty bad. We chalk that one up to a tire warmup pull. ;-)
Second run, he hooks up, and I sleep slightly and he gets the hit. Once we got rolling I think imo we were fairly closely matched. Two wicked fast cars battling it out. He gets a car on me, and also singed my eyebrows shooting flames at me. :bored: I want a flamethrower..... why can't I have a flamethrower too??? :whine:
Anyway, we are supposed to try to get some good daytime runs in soon, and hopefully we can get a good start and let them roll out. I estimate him pulling very slightly. He still has to get a little more used to the car too.. so it will be a beast when he is used to it. Also, the fact he is running a N/A cam from the previous setup. Blower cam will wake it up some more. :beer:
Just a couple of 600+ cars teleporting to Mexico.
