It was fun - I've been up for over 14 hours now......
Doc, Humberto + Friends & Turbomack showed up.

Doc & Humberto lined up together for the first run.....I'll let them share that with you.
On my First run I was lined up with a Civic Coupe.

Heres my numbers:
R/T - 1.102
60' - 2.478
1/8th - 10.633 @ 68.04 MPH
1/4 - 16.444 @ 83.64 MPH

Civic
R/T - .675
60' - 2.745
1/8th - 11.267 @ 64.56 MPH
1/4 - 17.589 @ 77.79

I had a crappy Reaction Time on that one but was able to catch and dust the Civic

2nd Run was with Doc-
I dont want to talk about this one

3rd Run Was with Doc again-

Doc:
R/T - .055
60' - 2.295
1/8th - 9.903 @71.25
1/4 - 15.460 @89.02 MPH

Me:
R/T - .497
60' - 2.466
1/8th - 10.518 @ 69.00
1/4 - 16.257 @ 84.41MPH

The third run was my best for the day - was only able to get 3 runs the whole day.
Zero eye candy - lots and lots of waiting time.....but it was a good and fun time. Great learning experience with my FX. I normally dont drive it in manu-mode & it was a learning experience I tell ya.

Nah Bert was N/A......
F1FX didnt make it afterall.....

It was just the 3 of us that ran our cars - TurboMack went to spectact and it was nice to put a face to the screen name.

Ok here are some pictures from the track and time slips. It was a LONG but fun day. Weather was ok and not really hot but the air quality REALLY sucked due to the socal fires so the numbers were not what I expected, but nevertheless it was great seeing the guys again and meeting TurboMack and his wife. It was fun running with the guys and seeing them really enjoy the track. The only minus was the waiting, air quality and Humberto's misfortune on the way to get lunch (I'll let Humberto explain this, but hope all is ok with his FX).

Bright and early!!!












Will staring down the competition.

Will trying to get some extra HP by flipping back the rhino horn.


Guys fooling around to pass the time and Humberto asking and pleading with Will to take it easy on him on the track.




This is only part of the line for tech inspection. There were close to 500 cars today .





12 Second Monster and rookies competition!!! Talk about a SLEEPER!


Time Slips.

Very cool guys. Sorry I couldn't make it out, I got home just about the time you guys were having breakfast. The canopy doesn't look like it was needed anyways.

[BIGTURK]

Thanks for the pics guys, at least us poor FX'ers who couldn't be there can live the experiance throught the pics . I'm not going to even attempt to say I wish we could do something like that here in the East Coast...we can't even get FX'ers together for a damn meet ...never mind a drag day

It's not that easy here either Turk, but some members here in Socal are pretty close and we try and get together often. But it isn't easy getting together for a larger meet as something always seems to happen.
