Is any one going this Friday?

 

[04SRT]

I'll go if your down! :burnout:

 

[arnie_82]

I am going to check with work and see if I can get out early. If I can then I will go.

 

[Trainman]

I'll try to be there if you both go. I'll give SRTBrad a call for some killer video (except the runs where I miss 3rd gear) , I'm going to try to adjust my shifter.

 

[arnie_82]

Jerry have you had your trans checked?

 

[Trainman]

Jerry have you had your trans checked?

I got the clutch fluid pressure bled, and I am going to adjust the shifter as it feels a little loose. I will be there, but I spoke to SRTBrad and he is working late Friday and won't make it. Bring a cameraman with you, plus I think Manny said he is getting a better camera (you really need a zoom for the scoreboard times). See you there friday, call and we'll meet up and caravan out there together. 661-301-8388

Did you ask? It'd be better if 3 of us went! The more the better!

 

[04SRT]

Oh and I should be getting a pretty awesome super HD camera so well be able to get some awesome video and pictures!

 

[arnie_82]

I got the green light from work. I will see you guys there. I will probably leave LA around 4:00 or 4:30.

 

[SrtBrad]

Have fun for me. God I miss the track!

 

[Trainman]

Shifter feels 100% better, should be good to go, no missed shifts tonight, gonna be a little warmer tonight so I don't expect any new records but Arnie and Manny will be there so we'll try to find a Lightning to play with. Come on SoCal. support your brothers in arms.

 

[SrtBrad]

So how did it go tonight?

 

[arnie_82]

So how did it go tonight?

It was hot and I ran slower than what I run in irwindale. My 1/8 at irwindale is between 8.9 to 9.2 and the fastest 1/8 at famoso was 9.3, 1/4 was 14.25 @ 101 mph. I need the drag radial.

 

[04SRT]

I don't know whats wrong with mine even trainman could'nt break into 1s on the 60 ft with my truck with DRs maybe ill pick up some suspension mods too.

I got green lighted by the wife to spend some money so i'm gonna shop around now. Nice meeting you though!

 

[SrtBrad]

I need the drag radial.

You know where to get them! Also did anyone get video? I heard someone got a new hd cam.

 

[Trainman]

It was a real short night for the "trainman", I did my burnout, staged, launched with a 1.73 60' and when I put the clutch down to shift to 2nd gear the master cyl. broke off of the firewall and I had no clutch pedal.

I actually let my wife run the truck and she ran a 14.2 haha not bad for a girl in a stock truck!

Everyone was running pretty slow. Even the new mustangs, camaros and srt8 challengers where in the 14s... a few broke into the 13s though!
