14.288 @ 98.4MPH

2.129 at 60ft

Not bad for the first time at the drag strip, if I didn't have 2 bad cylinders and 150K on the car I bet I would have been a good second faster. For the next event I am bringing my old ford truck. Curious to see what that 400hp monster I have can do, my friends nicknamed it the rice eater, lol.

The WS6 Trans am did:

12.875 @ 106.57 MPH

60 foot at 1.902

That TA was a hell of a lot faster than my camaro, but I htink he had about 100 more HP.

[musthavemuzk]

me i did not run. just watching and taking pics.

i think the viper had a best of 10.75

i did not pay too much attention to the other end i was glued to the waterhole and lights.

Yeah, it looks pretty close. Maybe on a regular race weekend when there is traction I'll get em in the air. 6k rpm on the transbrake is pretty cool. If we get the 4.27 diff ready that should help too (if there is traction). Thx again for the nice pics Monty.

i think he was in the 16s, not sure

Hey! I even found 2 pictures of my talon in those albums after looking for awhile.

[musthavemuzk]

i would like to snap shots of everything i see, but that is just not possible as i would miss alot of race action. so i hit and miss. then there are those cars that just grab me and force me to shoot them. Dave's is one of them.
one of my goals for this summer is to catch something launching with the front in the air. a couple inches would work but i am wanting a little more. i am also wanting to catch the rear sidewalls wrinkling as they bite the launch pad.
i know this is totally possible, but not sure if i will be successful on a street legal day. though i think that blue Camaro was dang close to airborne. he sure had some serious body flex going on that is for sure.
but i do need to get in front of the lights to have a better angle.
just was not up for that this past sat. i just wanted to experience some action and get some shots. so mayb next time i can try. or mayb i just need to come out to a regular event and see if i can't catch those items.

Not a problem Dave on the pics. the first time you rolled up i got ready and let the camera just go crazy. love the multishot setting.

The blue Camaro with the rollcage did lift the front tires when he sprayed, the old green Gran Prix did as well. I didn't notice any other cars that did.

[musthavemuzk]

i was taken back a little by that green gran prix. he did not seem to load the suspension as he did last year at the line. wonder why that is?
but he sure has a mean car there. not much to look at but it will take you if you are not ready.
that camaro reminds me of the 70 ragtop chevelle i saw run a couple times last spring or was it the fall before that? i dunno but he ran 10 flat with that ragtop and it flexed like a mother and i wet myself both time when i saw him launch. too bad i did not have the camera i have now back then. so i hope i get to see him again.
