Hey man, I think I talked to you earlier about working on the M5

If I'm not too tired tomorrow I might head down there with the Cobra

**1SICKLEX** · 10-10-2009, 08:54 PM

**JJSPEC Racing** · 10-11-2009, 08:27 AM

Have fun guys, my fam has committed me to the fair today. Good luck to all and hope everyone has fun!

**David88vert** · 10-11-2009, 10:07 AM

Working today, but sent a friend to run his car.

**pixyspoxey** · 10-11-2009, 03:32 PM

Just got back from Southeast Drag Day. Good turnout, alot of fast cars. Of course mine was not one of those. Fastest I could muster was a 12.849 @ 111.62 mph with a 2.067 60ft time. Rest of the day I was running a consistant 13.0 @ 112. Traction was a big issue as you can see. I thought Pirelli P-Zero's in a 235/55/R17 were famous for the amounts of traction they Provide!!!

Here a vid of the run. I think thats Smacked in the left lane blowing my doors off.

**SmackedInATL** · 10-11-2009, 04:44 PM

Had a blast today!! Nice video man.

I got 2nd! Incontt won the event with ease. Awesome day and great weather although hot!

**-S Double C-** · 10-11-2009, 05:56 PM

i pulled up to the gate around 12:30 and seen about 40 cars if that and turned around and went home.

**-S Double C-** · 10-11-2009, 07:34 PM

**1SICKLEX** · 10-11-2009, 07:45 PM

Great event, great people, great cars, great time!!! Got in like 18 runs

and enjoyed every one. My best time in the hybrid was 14.057...... I hope to get into the high 13s next time.

Thanks so much for hosting this!!

**Seven** · 10-11-2009, 07:53 PM

So some please spill the beans. Who won, who lost, who broke?

???????

That don't make no sense. It was the PERFECT day to be there because it wasn't packed! You could run all you want!

Where you going to jaw jack or race your car?

AND you would have got to see a Top Fuel dragster make 2 passes. Never seen anything like that before.

**Seven** · 10-11-2009, 08:12 PM

So it was an open track day??? Wow I thought it was an event with 1st and 2nd place winners. Well atleast you guys go some good track time in before the winter hits.

**JJSPEC Racing** · 10-11-2009, 08:12 PM

Would have loved to have made it. Put some pics up!

Hell yeah! Qualifying was a 12pm, 1pm, and 2 pm. Quick 8 started at 2:45 and went until 4. TNT in between all that. It was so dead there today. It was awesome!

We got plenty of video. I'll put them up in the KF once Jerry gets them uploaded.

**1SICKLEX** · 10-11-2009, 08:21 PM

At the Entrance

I took my G/F on a run, actually wan a 14.617 with her and a fun trunk

This is the view head on from the passenger seat for those that have never dragged their Lexus before. 100.79 MPH

My fastest time 14.057...my 2nd run..it was downhill after that

14.2, 14.4, 14.6, then a 15 lol..... My battery only had 4 bars at the time....so I had more power but that was my best. It was cooler at the time...

Not sure what vehicle that was but I got smoked

Look at that weight transfer!

Hybrid power, all stock engine bay

GOATS on the way back!!!!

we were in her hatch lol its a 14 sec. na car. Im waiting on my 1000's to come in and my mounts then it will be time to hit the rollers ill probably be done and at IFO in montgomery

**Incontt** · 10-11-2009, 08:45 PM

what a day...we could have USED some rain as it got hot!! I got to see 2 of the GTRs and a 12 cylinder twin turbo Mercedes.
People could make ALL the passes they wanted. I dunno why there were not more people there.
I won because 2 faster cars broke. 2nd place had never been i a race and the 3rd place guy had never bee to a dragstrip. Thats why you race because you never kow whats going to happen. Thanks to Christy and the rest of the group that put this together

Haha, great pictures man. I assume that was your first time at the track? That car was a Chevelle. I know because it was the first car I beat in the Quick 8 race and damn that was a close race.

The track also screwed up and made me race you second race instead of one of the stangs, like I should of :p

I'm just happy I was able to run such a good time.. I really thought I would get 10's out of the car but They seemed to be just out of reach without using some better fuel. Guess I can live with an 11.3

That was a clean Chevelle. Not really a big Chevy guy here but I've always liked the Chevelle's and Nova's.

No sir, been there many times..... and much prefer them to Commerce.

That was a close race, great run!!! Your car is fantastic.

Was that your buddy in the white RSX? If so tell him he needs to learn how to fucking drive. Mother fucker bumped me in the damn staging lanes trying to back up without looking! Who the hell puts their car in reverse without looking before backing up?!?! FUCK!

And I only ask because I think you were right next to him when he backed into me. You two were trying to get out of lanes 7 and 8 because you weren't trying to qualify for the Quick 8.

EDIT: Sorry if I sound like an asshole, but dude hit my car!!!

Thank you sir.

**pixyspoxey** · 10-12-2009, 06:56 AM

First time I saw that Hybrid Lex run It took me a second or two to figure out why in the hell I couldnt hear it. My first thought was Wow that thing has one hell of an exhaust on it!!! Then it hit me. Yep I'm a moron.

**Incontt** · 10-12-2009, 08:12 AM

was that dragster badass or what??!!! I had forgotten how loud they are.
I will rip and post up the vids I got later on but most are gonna be domestics since thats the group I was with

**totsubo** · 10-12-2009, 09:36 AM

Your car (#1 car) is quick. I could not believe how badly I (#2 car) got killed.
