Pony Wars 2014

[Justins00ss]

Here is a 6k rpm launch. This was before the Wolfe anti roll bar. But you get the idea. 1.55 60' banging gears!

I guess that's a fair, since you don't know me I've had several fast cars, so since I'm just now getting back into it, after a 2 year hiatus, my plans are some fun track time, no breaking, no trailering, just a fun driving weekend. And... I don't care who you are, if you're a "Car Person", you know 8.3 1/8 for a true 100% stock car is pretty impressive.

As far as "Classes" at Pony Wars goes. It's really kinda luck on how they set it up. I've gone to 4 of the events. The first one was literally grudge stuff, second was bracket style for several times (10.00-10.99, 11.00-11.99, ect...) the winners of the four or so groups ran bracket style for a single "King of the Swamp" trophy (Gainesville, before it was moved). I won the 11 second class by the way. Two years ago I showed up in my '02 Camaro running 10.35 and went out first round to a much slower car. Ran 10.44 on a 10.25 dial in.

Two years ago, 10.25 dial in (they took your fastest and took another 1/10 off). Guy was over a second slower dial in and those are the breaks...

Yup. Me too. Cars to heavy to go any lower with a booty shake at 120 mph.

So Jamie "SuperchargedSS" asked me what tire pressure I was running and when I told him 14 he almost slapped me LMFAO!!! I raised it to 16.5 and ran hard as hell till I launched so hard I broke the third pass What RPMs are you leaving at? I'll blow the tires off on a good cold night if I give it anymore than 1500.

Ha. I remember that.

That did suck. George was the 10th quickest and I was the 9th. The only two car, with you being broke, who weren't allowed to compete. The surely coukd have made it the quick 10 not 8.

I'm trying to figure something out to make it. Long ass drive. Nmca is a Bradenton the week before. Maybe I'll leave my stuff at Matt's and fly home and then back the following week. Not sure yet. Only thing that's sure is that I won't be left out of the quick 8 anymore!!

Hopefully you make it down again bud.

New motor and trans are in. Squash fuel system is in. All that's left is the 9", 15" kit and the Alky control kit. End of next week it'll be driving around.

Aww someone butt hurt?
Ummm ok.... I can post a video of my previous Camaro too... This was my 2010 Camaro SS and it had it fair share of bracket racing wins.
