Hey Eric,
It's about time you get out and play!!
I'll see you on Sunday.

As for the F-430....not sure if they'll let him run....but bring your safety gear just in case (helmet, cotton long sleeve shirt, pants, closed toe shoes, etc.) or for sure they won't let you run.

Anyone going from the SFV/LA area want to caravan out to this tomorrow? Post up where you wanna meet at. I am coming from Chatsworth, specifically Devonshire/Mason so I can meet right off the 118 for those near there or somewhere else along the way.

Thanks for putting this one together for us Hugh!
It was a very big event with hundreds of very fast drag cars.
It was also great seeing everyone out today.

1st run = 13.14 @ 113
2nd run = 12.9 @ 112

I wish i had a couple of more cracks at it. On my first run i had a terrible time leaving the line (damn street tires)!!! 2nd run would of been lots better if it wasnt for my miss shift into 3rd!!! Oh well, i had a blast, next time i guess!! ;D ;D ;D

It was my first time at a track. The first run I bogged off the launch with a 2.3 60ft and took it fairly easy the rest of the way and ran 13.1@114mph. The second run I left at 2000rpms with slight wheel hop and a 1.9 60ft and ended with a 11.8@125mph shifting at 4500rpms. I didn't want to get too crazy until I get the car into DC Performance and have them check my tune for down here.

Can Some body post some times please.. ;D

First time at the track and I blew. I only got two runs in. BOTH runs trying to shift into third, I got the JIMMY hands and I went into 5th, pulled it back out and put it into third to finish. NO Rice showed me a different way to shift but I couldnt get another run in before I tried. I still cant complain to much because the runs were decent for shifting into wrong gears.

1st run- 12.4 at 116.6 mph
2nd run- 12.7 at 114.4 mph

Mods are 3:55 gears, comp coupe exhaust and DC tune. The car felt strong in the cold. Thank god the new Viper has a new tranny. In my opinion, all the Vettes and now the Viper I own shift like SHi% Obviously some of its my fault, but I've driven some Porsches that were night and day from our american cars as far as shifting. I'm still pretty happy with the times though. I cant wait to get back out there.

Guys,

If there is sufficient interest - and I think there will be, I'll look into renting a drag track for a day.  It will likely be a Friday because there just isn't anything available or reasonably priced on a weekend, but I think we could pull it off. 

We'd need about 30 + Vipers and I think costs would be in the $150 to $200 range per car for the day depending upon the number of cars.  This way, we could get more runs than we'd want.

Perhaps we could get one or more of our vendors to spring for lunch and trackside support.

Please respond to this post and let me know if you're interested.

PS  I got there late and didn't get any runs in! :P
