1) Me 89 GT(spinning BAD)
r/t: 1.092 .782
60ft: 2.773 3.276
1/8: 12.293 14.066
mph: 57.552 54.553

2) Me
r/t: .072
60ft:
1/8: 12.284

3) Me(best run) New V-6 Mustang, auto
r/t: 1.199
60ft: 2.661 2.210
1/8: 12.118 10.569

Hey man, glad you had fun. That's what it's all about. Even though you weren't the fastest you still had fun. The time to go to the track is when the Honda's and Acura's have thier Annual Car Club meeting their. I've embarrased quite a few Ricers.lol

he he ....sounds like you didn't do to bad .........the first time i ever raced i ran the 78mustang ......thing was slow as h*ll but it ran consistant ......to my surprise i won 2 races and went home with a trophy.........lost the next race from a red light ......didn't matter i had fun ..........

at our little local track,i've seen alot of different cars run before ........in brackit racing don't matter how fast you go just matters how consistant you go..........lots of times moms grogery getter wins agianst the fast cars ........just becouse they can run consistant........

sounds like you did pretty good for the first time......

mustangdani55 · 04-06-2002, 10:24 AM

Yup.. way to go.. I can't wait to see what my car will do. Of course the thing isn't NMRA legal, so guess i will run ET.. should do low 11's high 10's.

Eric4Nitrous · 04-06-2002, 10:54 AM

1Bad89, thanks for the compliment.lol

MidNiteBlu 5.0 · 04-06-2002, 01:31 PM

Hey if you lose those 20's you might go faster

I still need to get my lazy butt to the track. i was all set to go until my coolant leak came back

Oh well ill get down there sometime.

Later,
Nick

red82gt · 04-06-2002, 05:41 PM

What was up with the guy in the 89GT! I'd think a part throttle run could trap higher than 55mph! He must've dropped the clutch at 5500 and sat there overheating the engine to run that badly!

6T9PONY · 04-07-2002, 03:05 AM

a 5.9 60 ft? That is HORRIBLE!! What was he doing to spin so badly? And why wouldn't he just pedal it? Man....that's reeeeaaaaallllly slow.....How is the track prepared? Does the track suck or what?

apparently ....judging by the times ,there musta been a big patch of ice on the starting line

6T9PONY · 04-07-2002, 03:37 AM

Or a few hundred gallons of oil.....

tireburner163 · 04-07-2002, 04:52 AM

Ok, Pony this is was happened. He spun VERY badly his first run. The second run, he was gonna pop the clutch at 2000. Well some how he stall the motor, restarted it, reved it, and poped the clutch. He's not a bad driver, this was just the first time he had been to the track in 2 years. He later ran a 9.31

mustangman65_79 · 04-07-2002, 11:25 AM

Hey, tireburner163, u need to work on your R/T. Granted, I haven't ran a car yet. But on Comp games, I get a constent .7 and below. Best I ever get was a .567. Remeber to leave on the last yellow light. Before the green. Not on the green. The last yellow light is on for only .4 sec, and that is added in your r/t. Have fun!

tireburner163 · 04-07-2002, 12:39 PM

yea, well it was my first time at the track so...........

5.0L_Of_Fury · 04-07-2002, 01:36 PM

Hey Tireburner,
Im gonna run mine saturday for the first time....then we will see who is the real king of the 4 bangers!!!!

Crazy Horse GT · 04-07-2002, 02:19 PM

mustangman65_79 · 04-08-2002, 01:15 AM

If I still had my 4 banger in my '79, I'd beat u all. I was preatty fast in it. 4-speed manual. I could do 70 in second.

I did 75+ in second one time on acident. My motor was running at 7,500 RPM's, oops.
