Is anyone going out to Texas Motor Speedway tonight for the weekly Friday event Drag-N-Brag?

I was thinking about heading out there sometime tonight and running my car for the first time....any other takers?

I am checking it out for the first time too.

Can you give some more info about it, I've never been and would love to get in some runs.

Found this on their site:

Apparently they convert a pit lane to an 1/8 mi. strip. I'd be interested if it was 1/4, but at 1/8 I'll pass.

TXGooch21 · 08-13-2010, 03:23 PM

I didn't realize that it was only 1/8 mile...I just heard about it on the radio and foolishly assumed it would be a 1/4. Might still make it out though, can't go wrong checking out some other nice cars in the area!

I may stop by. I live 5 minutes south of there. Anyone else going? Probably wont run my car though.

rforbes · 08-14-2010, 01:18 PM

I ran it. Did pretty well for my first time until I came up against a GT500. He got me by about a cars length. I did beat 2 Challengers pretty easily though.

sweet!!!!!!!! practice will only make you better...... addicted yet.....

spyrollinc · 08-14-2010, 02:26 PM

I saw your runs. Did very well. I wanted to run but had a couple beers before hand so decided against it. Who was in the other camaro? He did really well against that Ferrari.

Homestar1217 · 08-15-2010, 02:07 AM

Wish I'd known about this, I haven't checked the forums in a while so it's my own fault though haha. Maybe I can make it out next time. By the way Gooch, LOVE the wheels :-)

rforbes · 08-15-2010, 03:47 PM

That was Adam from Trophy club. He has a few more upgrades on his. He does very well.

TXGooch21 · 08-15-2010, 10:18 PM

I didn't end up making it obviously, wish I had after reading this! I am definitely going to try and make it this Friday. What all cars were running that night besides Camaros, GT500, Challengers and a Ferrari?

rforbes do you have any mods? Did they hand out time slips?

rforbes · 08-15-2010, 11:35 PM

Unfortunately this is the last one of the year for this event. I know alot of these guys go up to Denton raceway also. I may go check that out sometime.
As far as mods, mine is fairly stock. CAI, headers and a tune. There was no timing, just for fun. There were all kind of cars that were parired up according to cylinders, and mods. I knew the the GT would take me since it obviously has more horsepower and is lighter. Too bad I had to go up against him so early or I might have been able to last a little longer. I beat several different cars in the practice runs although it was funny, well not too funny, but a cobalt SS with a turbo gave me a run for my money . It was a really good time though.

I was thinking about having a Camaro5 special weekend event next year at TMS. It would be one weekend only with an event having 5th gen Camaro's in it. If you are interested then PM or email me and I will work on it with TMS. It will probably take 30+ cars to make it possible, not too hard to do in the DFW area.

Many of you already know that Xtreme has been involved in this event since inception. We would like to make it better with your help.
Thanks
