Drag Racing @ Supercar Reunion

**COPO** · #1 09-19-2002, 02:14 AM

Does anyone know how the racing will be run this year? Last year their was no tech inspection, passengers were allowed and the Supercars ran in their own heat. Will the format be similar this year?

Ok folks, I know it might have been best to bring this up say 2 months ago, and I see the members attending are getting internet capabilities, so how bout hooking up small web cams to those lap tops you all brought with you so those of us at work can see some real time shots. would be esp neat if it coud be done for the Track Time.

Just got back from the racing. Several of the cars ran; 12 i think???. I'm sure someone else can remember the exact amount. Most of the cars got 4 passes, if they wanted, so it was pretty good. Couple of people ran career bests (I will let them tell you guys about it when they get in tho.) As for me in the '98 SS, 13.6 was the best I could muster, the 6-speed was just a little too difficult for me to launch. I did manage to get big brother both times tho.......( How do you like them oranges?!?!)

I'll go into more detail in the morning, but for now, here's a teaser (see attachment).

Rob, gotta love those twelves [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img] . With a little more traction you've got a 12.5 car there I think! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Attached is a picture of the 12.86 run, and the competition I was up against (Barnhart's ZL-1)! I got him at the tree, but it was tail lights from there on out!

This picture is quite possibly my favorite, as it documents our work over the past few years. (see attachment)

Rob, can't see if your front tire on the right looks the same. I think you were outgunned before you started, but great run all the same! Congrats!!!

Yeah, outgunned to say the least! I take it you aren't impressed with the 2.0X 60' time![img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
