There are only 76 cars signed up, so I will be getting a lot of runs this Friday.

I will go to videotape and take pictures. Who else is going?

This is why I'm only videotaping and taking pictures. It should be interesting. Why don't you come down and join us bro?

[SrtBrad]

Not sure Eddie. I'll look at the website and post it up soon.

 

[SrtBrad]

It starts at 8am and ends at 5PM. I'll leave here between 10 - 11am or so.

Me too. I guess I'm just a racing junkie even if I'm not racing.

If you're the only one racing then you'll have your personal video crew there for you. BTW are you going to Famosa in Bakersfield on the 20th for the Test and Tune night?

[SrtBrad]

I should but don't want to pay the $115. I'll save that money for the 20th in Bakersfield.

My Results

So, I had my first go at drag racing today. What a blast! My times blow, but I got better as the day went on. I got 11 passes before 2pm . I lost every race. Brad(srtbrad) came by and with video and camera in hand to support me. Thanks for keeping me company and the driving advice. People like Brad are what make the vtcoa so great. blwn SSS and his buddies were there and he ran a couple 11.4s. I officially have the bug. My absolute next mod is going to be something to help with traction. I am hoping I can get in the 12s with better traction and more practice.

I had a blast as well. I have the video downloaded and ready to convert soon so it might be up by tonight. We have over 1300 pictures that the SS guys helped me with. Some are downloaded already and will post some up tonight. The SS guys are a class act and I was honored to videotape the fastest trap speed for the SS Community.

Video will be ready in less than an hour.
