Shredd and Reagan Cruise night 8/26 from 6-10p details here http://www.wedg.com/article.asp?id=689243

I'm going and met up with a '04 GTO owner, also tuned by New Era, last night who said he would be there so we can drag each other. Should be a fun night.

WNY's clear your schedules for Wednesday and come out.

I need some work...

My best was a 8.76 with a .77 RT for the 1/8
No time slips were given out tonight because it was a cruise night.

I need to to get to a 1/4 mile track...

And I need practice doing burnouts, I suck.

I was going to go to a 1/8 mile track tomorrow, but I think I'll just wait til I get some time to go to a 1/4 mile track.
I can tell you if a 1/4 mile time is good or not, but those 1/8 mile times mean nothing to me! I have no experience with them at all. :)

I also had some douche bag come up to me while I was talking to another G8 owner tell me
"Your car is slow, I was expecting it to hit 7's"
"how much HP is it"
me "353 at the wheels"
"thats it!?"
"I know what will make your car faster, a thermostat, get a 160 and get rid of your stock one"
"thats not a GXP is it?"
me "no"
"a GXP will blow you away blah, blah, blah"

I wanted to kick his ass

I run with t/c on if I don't have my drag radials. I've ran a 8.1 with street tires and t/c on and a 8.0 with t/c off and drag radials not a huge difference. We have almost the same mods but I have a higher stall converter.

No he was not, but he's got a seven sec camaro at home :jerkoff:

Driver skill means a lot, I guess I have to drive around more and try to get some street races and go to more test and tune nights.

My numbers were wrong I ran a 8.76. The GTO I was running was running low nines and than high eights but finished off strong with a 8.04 or 8.14.

I wish they gave out slips...

That track is dilapidated,they never put any $ into it and you are going slightly uphill,they do get a nice turnout on Wed. though.

Yeah the track needs to be re paved, but it was a huge turn out
