Hmm, sounds interesting, how easy is it to match 2 cars to drag against each other?
How many runs do you think you can get in?
Is it like midnights where you can only get 2, and thats if you stay till 2am?

DaBo_Z28 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 26, 2009, 03:20:30 pm »

That is basically all they do match cars with buddies and as far as how many runs you get Ive seen the same car run at least 30 pr more times The question is How soon will my car break or wear out making passes . Sat there will be more cars than usual but on any given race they average 25 to 30 cars .. which makes it easy to get runs( and that is waiting while the cars return down the track after majing a run because there is no return road

How did the races go?

DaBo_Z28 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 31, 2009, 03:32:05 pm »

Was a good time Ive got pics there was a 5th gen there (less than 1000 miles on it) ran 14:50 's and 14:60's

The Sad · « **Reply #17 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:19:44 pm »

Did you run yours Bob?

DaBo_Z28 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 31, 2009, 04:23:17 pm »

No Just let it sit beside the car show I didnt want to enter the car show either but I donated to the kids foundation and they made me park on the car show line but I left before the awards. I dont like car shows as you know .. and the pics are a week away I left the disks in the Motorhome in Wendover

thebrainhart · « **Reply #19 on:** August 31, 2009, 08:14:44 pm »

I went out, got there just after the awards thing ended. Ran both my cars. My 2010 ran a best of 14.08 at 94ish, my 95 ran a best of 13.02 at 98ish, at 98 degrees. About 0.4 seconds slower each with a passenger.
It was pretty fun, ran about 8 or 9 times each car. My brother in law drove my new one when we raced each other, and I ran both of them at times.

Another thing I noticed... umm... on the track only.... My new car at 105 feels like 60! I thought my old one felt like that, but its nothing compared to my new one! And my old one pulls away easy from my new one, even at those speeds.
