John, you're pics are so small! bleh... guess it is harder to see the flaws that way. Thanks for posting them.
Steve (Happy Birthday!) Reid & CenTexIndy tied for first in our 'Guest Club' class. Both of course were well deserved... I gotta tell you... I love Indy Fiero's, and Tim's looks great. I think a lot of people were impressed at Steve's motor & engine bay. A work of art there.
JohnF was runner-up, and a door prize winner. Daniel was second place runner-up. Congrats guys, thank you for coming. The weather was exceptional for July, and the show field was good too. I got a bit tired of Mustangs though... but hey, it WAS their show!
As for the track the night before...
Man, it was like 'gang' day at the track. My car got tagged. MstangsBware got his car stripped when his back was turned... and I witnessed two driveby's... and they were from the cars going down the 1/8! (ok... j/k... but it would not have been a far leap either.)
I remember last few times I was at Kennedale, it was like the bastion of redneck America... but Friday... it was uber ghetto. Apparently, there were some grudge matches to be run between a few different hoods... and there was a lot of money being flashed and changing hands. There was at least one large fight, and I thought (honestly) there was going to be some gunplay after one run. Lots of signing going on... and I ain't talking autographs either.
Since it was $15 to run or spectate I figured... what the heck..., and went ahead and ran a few times (GXP). Beat PC's 3.4DOHC Fiero with Jed at the wheel (he was gaining by the end of the track... gotta love high RPM's), and got waxed by a mod'd green87's L67 Fiero 2x. Best 1/8 for me was a 9.482 with a 2.1xx 60'. I just don't know how to launch a FWD
That came with TCS on. It was warm and humid... 3/4 tank of gas. I did not bother to prep the car at all... didn't really want to leave anything unattended so to speak... Even my car. Not great times... just basically just doin' it to do it.
Mstangs was able to cut a 1.8xx 60' on drag radials, but only got one pass in. His Fiero was giving him fits because of heat. (A LOT of disorganization going on bcz of the aforementioned circumstances) The Daniel got a 8.74 1/8 mile, and it was his first time to the track.
