I was, Paul was, and Cobra Dude was there too....and where were all of you other Drag racers???? HHHMMMM???
We were there at 6:40am for an opening gate of 8am after a rip roaring ride the whole way with Pauls friend who has a 2000 SLP Camaro. I never got to the track so fast in the last three years let me tell ya.
We were there next to a camper with a car in a trailer. Didn't meet them, but they had friends that showed up later. When the gate opend we couldn't help but beat the camper to be the first two to check in....he complained...it didn't do him any good.
First in tech...I had a new guy...blew right through with approval for 11.49...Boo Yaaa.....
Then around to the lanes to wait with perfectly cool engines, cool air, sunny day never made it past 74.
My first try & I ran an 11.95 @ 117 (Thanks to Jerry & crew @ Sutton Ford) then I did 2 more @ 12.2, Paul ran a 12.3 twice and then a 12.2, his mods are much different...like a stock pulley....NO SHIT....But I didn't launch worth a shit so what can I say.
Cobra Dude RULES...he cleaned our clocks with an 11.56 or so....He leaves at 1000....Paul tries it and does sssoooo well...and me I'm thinking 5000 with my new level 2's and wind up getting nervous all three times...hence only 1 in the 11's.
I can't wait till the next time...my anxiety will be gone and I can see just how to get this Bitch down the track (1000 or 3500 or 5000). My car felt very powerfull, Paul was shocked, he was only hoping for a 12.6...and the Dude...well what can we say.....he's so smooth, the man drives his car.
Then of course we got to see Sutton's team run the 05....what a blast, they were sssooo anxious, not knowing what to think, and so happy when it ran a 10.771 @ 127...yeah no shit then the same driver went out and cracked off a 10.556 @ 128. The car was cool looking too, all black and Healthy looking, big fat meats in back, it's awesome, no shit.
So yeah, we were representing dudes for Ford on openning day at RT 66 and we got lucky, the weather was perfect, and it didn't pack up like last year.
Ya got to love these Cobra's for the fact that of all the others, and there were plenty, we kicked ass, I mean WE ARE the ones to watch out for, cause you just never know who's modified, much less just how much.
I am very thankful that I took the time to read what fellow owners have done to their cars and applied most of the right things so far, as well as been patient in learning how to drive this car, and I have to say, that my new MGW shifter is SSSSOOOO FINE....GET ONE...NOW. My car is as tough as nails, drives like a freek'n rocket, and you would NEVER know it's got 80 passes on it, NEVER.
Try that with an EVO, or a B ring M echanics W ith you....HA!
