Fall Drag Day? - Page 10

yelsvt03cobra · 11-02-2005, 09:11 PM

On the list we will have the 85Gt T-Top, 86 Coupe, the Jr. Dragster and a 91 Gt Cobra Clone with us so our reserved spots will be reserved.

Hey James do you want to make the very first pass off the trailer for that dbl or nothing or are you gonna need some getting used to passes with the new setup???

**cobrabitn** · 11-02-2005, 09:37 PM

Arrrgggghhh!

Why do my words get twisted around?

There are 2 bracket races, a woman's race with 2 awards and a main race with 10 awards. The women in the ladies race can also compete in the main race where there are men running the race too. So you get to enter two races while the men only get one.

Start time will be 9:30 a.m. and will go to 5:00 p.m. The track let's you stay for grudge night free so you get a full day of track for one fee. (Yes, you can still run on the track Saturday night). Our rental is officially over at 5:00 p.m.

I would suggest showing up around 11:00 a.m. if all you want to do is spectate. There is a spectator fee of $5.00 per person and children 12 and under get in free.

The meet time at McDonald's in Rock Hill, SC, is 6:30 a.m. and we will leave at 7:00 a.m. sharp as Jason stated. If you are not there by 7:00 a.m. then you will have to catch the caravan at the next stop, Exit 5 on I20 (Hwy 25). We will leave there at 9:00 a.m. and arrive at the track at 9:30 a.m. Please do not try to get in the gate as they will not let you in anyway. It is best to start arriving a little after 9:30 a.m. so we can get set up and delays will be minimal. If you are already registered for the event then all you have to do is sign a waiver form. If you are not registered for the event yet then we ask that you print out a form and bring it with you completely filled out along with the event fee of $50.00.

You will get your money's worth as this is why we have had repeat racers coming all of the time to our event. It's fun, you get your money's worth, and it's a great time to make new friends or bring current ones with you.

Don't forget we will have a portable dyno at the event in case you want to see how much hp you have at the rear wheels.

Amazon Racing and Pro Dyno will both be providing something for the event!

Let's go have some fun!

Camera's there? Anyone going to be there with a lense or more to catch the stock LT1 hangin the hoops!!

redsnake99 · 11-04-2005, 09:48 AM

Don't like the pro tree, not good for beginners or amateurs like most of us.

Weather looks great. Hoping nobody breaks their car.

I'll need any advantage I can against Chris' ringer

which is why I mentioned a Pro tree. With my luck Tanya would likely tattoo me arse anyways, so I'm saving up for two coldCokes ratch now...

But then you hadda go & jinx us

! j/k, but I'll be wearing my lucky underwear (yes, they're clean) just to be sure...

DA for tomorrow should be decent- we all know the track will be in great shape

Linn@Amazon · 11-04-2005, 02:24 PM

looking forward to meeting everyone...

We had a great day at the track and a very good turnout. It wasn't quite as good as the Spring event but we had 65 cars running. (75 in the Spring event).

The competition was fierce and I think the new rules worked out very good. The only tweak I can find will be implemented at the Spring event. There were a lot of new faces and considering we were competing with a car show in Charleston, SC, I thought we had an excellent turnout. We did get to see a jet propelled motorcycle run down the track and that was freaking awesome. It did 5.83 @ 122 mph in the 1/8 mile. Wow!

I didn't have my camera with me at the time but it was fun to watch.

Wish some of you could have made it out but maybe in the Spring. BTW, for the main bracket race we had the following winners.

Bracket Winner "First Place" - Ken Jett - 1966 Chevelle
Terminator King (Last SVT Cobra Club member standing) - David Moore of Sumter, SC

They each won $300.00, a very cool trophy, and some tuning certificates!

Ladies Bracket Winner "First Place" - Sheila Rogers
Terminator Queen - Lisa Milstead

Official "winner's list to be posted later!

Thanks to all that helped at the event...Robbie Helton, Dave Stanfield, Burke Dawson, Lisa Milstead, and Clarence Milstead. Y'all did a bang up job!

Thanks to the following sponsors:

MGW - George is number one!

Amazon Racing Tuning Solutions - Linn and Rick are great people and customer oriented
Pro-Dyno - Dan's a very nice knowledgeable tuner

I'm glad everyone had a good time. Sorry I couldn't be there but pulled the muscles in my back on Friday. I went to the Valvoline place to get my fluids topped off and noticed my back drivers side tire was flat (long story). I limped the car back home and went to change the wheels to my back up set of rims and tires. While I was doing it I must of pulled the muscles in my lower back. I went to get up on Saturday morning and I couldn't get out of bed. I knew I wouldn't be able to stand up all day at the track let alone drive 6 hours round trip. My back is feeling better today (I'm able to walk up and down the steps now), but it's still hurting.

SO who ran the fastest time of the day??

Shon Herron · 11-06-2005, 10:51 AM

Thanks once again for an awesome day!! I always have intentions of speaking to folks but get engrossed into running the car. It was worth it though, we came down to get the LT1 M6 bolt on record and we did it!!

12.20 with a 1.63 at 111 and backed that up with a 12.21 with a 1.60 at 113!

Thanks!

Mega Dittos! Thanks so much to all who put on this event and all who came. I'd have liked to see more of the Lowcountry crowd show but some of the more ardent racers are actually "broke" (car-wise) now but I guarantee a better showing in the spring. I talked to quite a few people during the evening telling them what a great opportunity the SVT Day is, getting to come out and spend the day, running as much as you want pretty much and not having to deal with the long waits in the lanes etc.

And as Shon said, you get engrossed in the car and don't meet as many people as you'd like but it's all good and this GM guy gives the SVT Cobra/Mustang Club high marks for putting on a great event and allowing us to attend.

Looking forward to the spring event and maybe I'll have something a little more competitive to bring with me next time.

Thanks again,

Ken

kilroy · 11-06-2005, 12:32 PM

A big "Thank you!" to Tony & his crew (Carolina Dragway officials, too) that ran the show. For my shakedown pass I ran my best to date of 11.312 @ 124.71 granny shifting.

Congratulations on the record, Shon!
