WFC 2000

Sweet T · 05-24-2000, 07:07 PM

Dang the WFC came and went fast. Anyone else go. I had a blast and even won a little money in open comp. What did the reast of you think?

I couldn't make it to the WFC; I was at the FFW Montgomery event instead. It looks like the Pro show was awesome with 20 cars running down in the sevens. I checked their website yesterday for the final results but they haven't posted them yet.

I was there but I didn't have much time to watch anything, as I was helping pit crew for Joe Silva. It was a blast, even with the outcome(bummer

redlight). I was the guy hanging on to the back of the blue 4 wheeler that went to tow Joe back after the run.
It was a great event, even 'tho they can be strict with the rules there (like only 2 guys per car at the line,etc).

That was a real bummer. A good show off with Billy would have probably been the best race of the event. Wow, Silva's car is flying! It's also to bad Switzers tranny broke, the final could have been a close race!

buddha · 05-25-2000, 09:00 PM

That really does suck. I thought Silva had it in the bag for sure. The car was moving. Oh well, he'll be back I'm sure. I got a kick out of the Pro-Street Outlaw guys. There freaking insane! It looks like fun, until you see a couple of them smack the wall. How did you finish Sweet T? I donated my 60 bucks in O/C. My buddy won ET1 Saturday and was R/U Sunday. Had a blast though! See everybody next year!

Sweet T · 05-27-2000, 10:18 AM

I won a couple of rounds and made it to the money. Won a hundred bucks. I missed third gear and lost to the guy who went on to win the class. What color and model car do you have and who did you run in the first round, Buddha?

buddha · 05-27-2000, 02:03 PM

I ran a Thunderbird S/C the first round and ran WAY off my dial. I qualified with an 11.33 with hopes of saving a few tenths, but instead I went the wrong way with my PMS and slowed the car way down. Im still on the learnig curve with it. Anyway, I have an black LX that I run. Thats cool that you took some cash after driving all that way. There were a ton of cars in that class, so you must of been cutting some good lights and running your number.

I was there - what a weekend!! I raced in P/S, missed the bump spot by 3 cars. I could'nt get a high 12 sec timeslip, which I was expceting. I was a little frustrated by that. But it was fun though. I a blast watching all the racers. I predicted Billy would win it all, and I was right

- he did have a little luck on his side though. he track was awesome, my fav so far, I'm glad they're having it there next year. We didn't have to be in the grass this time!!

Sweet T - your car is the green coupe with the Torque Thrust-type wheels right?? If so you were just a few spaces down from me. I remembered your car from looking at your pics. I was gonna come and say hi but I was pretty busy with racing and there didn't seem to be anybody by your car some of the time. Oh well.

Hey Bill, I think you were just to busy recovering from the night before LOL!

Seriously though I'm sorry to hear you didn't make it in to eliminations. There was some extremely fast cars running P/S...11.50's

thats nuts.

What does your buddy have for mods on his red GT that tried P/S?

Later

Yes fiveoboy I have the green coupe with the torque thrusts. I got pitted directly across from lidio iacabelli who has the green coupe with a blown mod motor in it so that kind of sucked. I think my car looks better but his runs 9's, nuff said. That car was amazing, I spent a lot of time talking to him. Which direction were you from me, closer to the track or farther away, and wer you on the same side as me or on the oppositte side? I had a blast! It was a fun weekend. Onehotlx remarks that it sounds like you partied a lot. Boy did we! We stayed back in collinsville and there were awesome burnout contests at night until like 3 or 4 in the morning. Every hotel on our strip was packed with mustangs. We drank many a beer and got very little sleep. Boy can't wait till next year.

Yeah, we partied a lot. Beer, beer, and more beer. We went to a couple bars in downtown St. Louis wed. night, wow that was fun. I puked and then drank some more. And at the hooter's party we spent almost 200 bucks on beer!!!!

We met Tony(aka onehotlx) and his friends near madison on the way down, it was cool. Unfortunately, we stayed in downtown St. Louis. Never again!!! Next year we will stay in Collinsville. Downtown St. Louis is too much of a clusterfck, no roads to cruise on. But we still had fun.

Tony - my bud with the red GT has full exhaust, K&N, and pullies. That's it. He's still even got 2.73s!!!! I was surprised he ran as fast as 14.06. I never went that fast on streetires, even with 3.55s. He wasn't planning to run, but when we got there, he made the spontaneous decision to run, just for fun, since he had never run it before.

Sweet T -

We were farther from the track than you, you know where the outhouses were right under the speaker tower? we were like 4 or 5 spots down. We had a Yellow Penske truck with a trailer.
