Thanks alot guys! It was an awesome event and nice to meet some of you. It was definitly an awesome group of cars from your group. You showed in force also which is greatly appreciated. Look for this again next year. It is nice to be able to go the the track and get a dozen passes in. For those who couldn't make it talk to some who did. Maybe next year we can do even better. THANKS again!!!!

what was the outcome?

 

[04yellowcobra]

Yeah it was pretty fun. Would of been more fun if I actually got to race some F-bodies. But its all good, the car wasn't up to full potential due to lack of track prep.

I'm not sure if it was the lack of prep or the 140* track temps.

Turned out to be a fun, no pressure event for me as nobody else showed up for the 10.50 index. Had 2 cars come over from the 12.50 index just to make a race out of it. Was good practice for next weekends NMRA event with the pro tree and this heat.

Here are my times, took 1* of timing out of my blower only race tune to avoid going faster then 10.50. Not sure what the DA was at MIR yesterday but it was hot...

It was a fun event! A big thanks to all that were involved in putting this on!! I'd like to see this become a yearly event! One suggestion would be to have this in September if possible the humidity & 90+ temps kind of wear on you.

Since I don't know any better I stayed for the regular bracket racing later on that afternoon. Got knocked out in the 2nd round...again....:cryying:

Nice to see everyone out there yesterday, I'm glad I decided to race, had a great time. Got about 6 passes in total, 3 of which I could not hook up at all and got some nice 2.0 sixties. The car was running 120-121mph in the 1/4 and 94-95mph in the 1/8. So then I decided to pack my IC res full of ice to see if it would help out the car at all. Probably put about 15lbs worth of ice through it so the fluid was nice and cold. And the results were a new PB for me

60'........1.789
330.......4.939
1/8........7.511
MPH.......97.11
1000.......9.711
1/4.........11.553
MPH........123.28

I was really surprised was not expecting that at all with this August weather. Now I just need to ditch the nittos and get some stickier tires and shoot for some low 11's......

Matt, we are actually working on setting this up again for this october....so you'll get your wish soon.

Was anyone else impressed with that notchback fox that drove in from Morgantown, clicked off a couple of 9 second passes on 17" DR's, then drove home????:bowdown:

Absolutely, I've heard about this car before, just never saw it run.

Congrats Richie, very good run....:beer:

That car was awesome, Brian was his name. 402 F2 Procharged, he was running 273's in the rear. Imagine a set of 430's in that rear....:rockon:

Looking forward to it! Remember there are 2 big Ford events in October, Ford Fever Classic@MIR Oct 21-22nd & The Reunion@Maple Grove Oct 28-28th.


Yep that is Brian - I see him at Capitol Raceway a lot. Good Guy with a badass procharger!

What was the final MACA/NVMC participation numbers for the shootout on Saturday?

That would be tough to make 3 events in the same month, especially if it was at MIR.

Yeah I know, but we don't have any control over that date. EFA already had a track rental for whenever it is(I'll get the details soon) and Moose wants to make it another one of these events because he had so much fun.

Dwight..you know, I didn't count. I should have, but I'd bet there were 30 of us anyway. Too bad you couldn't make it out, it was a pretty good time.

Yeah that notchack is badass. I saw that thing run for the first time at a midnight madness at MIR about two months ago and when I first saw it line up just thought it was going to be a 13sec fox, boy was I wrong. That thing hauls some ass:rockon: .

The EFA date is Sept 23rd.

Dwight, are you still planning on having a MACA/SCS track rental at Mason Dixon on Sept 16th?

So the MACA crew would be invited down for this date? That would be awesome. It was an excellent time & fun hanging out & racing with others that share the same interests!!
