This weekend was quite eventful [long read]....
Hydroshutter and I went down to the MCE race and had some fun along the way. The videos are currently being editted and should be up soon.
First we met up at the downtown Varsity and met everyone. Modded 996, TT Corvette and a handful of other Corvettes. A few Cobras, Mach1 and an SRT8 wagon.
All of my races I had a passenger, full weight, sub, full tank of gas, *insert other heavy stuff here*, and such. The other cars did not unless noted.
I raced 03CobraAV8R and was able to pull ahead about 1 car or so. This was on motor. He makes 510rwhp/515ft lbs or so. We went from 45mph and shut down at somewhere around 130mph, I think.
The second race was against Marshall (LEAVINU). I pulled about half a car. Again, I had a passenger and he did not. We started from 55-60mph and I rolled out until about 140. This race I was on the bottle.
After the race with Marshall, I was at about 650psi bottle pressure. Retro had asked me to run and I knew he was going to walk away given I had fumes in the bottle and I had a passenger. He had a steady pull of 2 cars until about 140. He was spraying a 125 shot.
We get to Silver Dollar and see a lot of fast cars. It was a fun day of racing. The Porsches were sick.
On the way home as we're leaving, I see a red Cobra with a Kenne Bell, carbon fiber hood and polished CCW Classics. This thing was HOT! He was in the car with some girl/girlfriend/wife/sister, whatever. Well, I'm sitting in 3rd gear around 65mph waiting for him to gun it because he pulled up right beside me and slowed down. We didn't have the camera at this time unfortunately. We both hit it and we're neck and neck and then he shifts while I'm still pulling away. I shift to 4th and I'm about a car or so ahead and he lets off. He didn't want to run again, though. Did I mention his car was hot? This run was on motor as my bottle empty.
As we continue driving, I spot some HIDs in the rear view mirror and hear a loud whining. Here comes a Supercharged SRT-8 300, Bently-looking car. I know the car makes around 520-550rwhp (he was tuned at the same shop that built my car) and he had a girl with him. We line up and I let him hit it first to give him a chance because I know those cars are pretty heavy. We stay dead even through a third gear pull. We line up two more times from 45mph (2nd gear) and I pull pretty hard at the top of 3rd. 2-3 cars or so, so I let off.
All in all it was a fun weekend and had some good runs. Rick (03CobraAV8R) is working on editting the video and getting it posted up.
