Spectator drag season (Elko & Raceway)

[1QUICK4]

Well this just sucks, I can't get my fricken' video camera to upload the video to my PC .

I installed the correct Sony USB drivers but can't figure out for the life of me how to upload it onto my hardrive.

That was awesome!!! I had some guy behind that was talking about the galant saying that it wouldn't do worth a crap. I told him if it's AWD and turbo, and the guy know how to launch, there won't be anything to catch it. And I was right!! Only one race lost. To great competition I might add. That camaro is fast as hell. Straight line it would be a toss up, but launching and corners belonged to the vr-4. Nobody there would believe me that the galant would do so well. They were shut up in a hurry on the first race!!! Good job out there!!

BTW, that little Civic hatch was doin pretty good too. The way he was blowing smoke, I gotta believe he's turbo'd and running way rich.

Thanks man!

Somebody else in the crowd got some footage from Saturday. It shows the Gaylant running a GTP and a what I believe is a 454SS pickup as well as other peoples whips.

Haha, did that pickup hit the wall when he spun out?

[AwdGSX13]

Yeah, overcorrection FTL. My girl got a better camera angle of it (looked like his rear wheel was going to snap off when he went sideways). The crowd's reaction was priceless.

I'm on my way to a friends house to edit my footage so it should be up soon.

they should have an mitsustyle hostile takeover of those drag races looks allot funner than going to lacrosse anyway.

we will see

[Tachyon]

Hey that actually looks crazy enough to try. 1Quick4, do you have a schedule for these events? I would like give it a try in my 1g

goracewaypark.com

not sure of elko's site. i dislike the owner and they are quite expensive.

they both have schedules of their events. spectator drags will most likely be on a "eve of destruction" night.

[1QUICK4]

Heading out to Raceway Park on Labor day. It's the year end championship race with the winners from all the other events. The Galant has some clutch issues but if I keep the boost down and don't launch to hard it will hopefully hold up.

I should be getting some video footage.

how did it go Monday? I have always wanted to bring a car to spectator drags. Maybe in the future

[1QUICK4]

Took 2nd in the Championship round to a fast ass 79 Firebird with my clutch slipping the whole way (bouncing of the rev limiter)
It was close (went all 3 rounds) and in the end came down to who had inside lane.

Next year I should have an extra 100whp

[blackrosenova400]

Lol my buddy at work was talking about it today, but what he told me it was a honda and a firebird. Lmao! I am gonna go to the next Elko spectator drags. How much power you pushin??

[1QUICK4]

Only 260whp due to clutch issues. A Honda? lol

[slowbubblecar]

oh well. There is always next year. What did the winner get?

[1QUICK4]

A big ass trophy and $100

So who has the Laser? Pretty sad the stock Laser beating up on a modded LS1. Did the Galant get any body damage? I have video of the drags tonight but I'm tired. I'll post tomorrow.

[1QUICK4]

Left rear 1/4 panel has a big ol' dent in her. Nothing that wont pound out with a hammer.
Sucks, But it was bound to happen eventually. That's the 1st contact I've had running specdrags going back to 2001.

Watching the video you can see he came into turn three way to hot. Started pushing, then had the genius idea to hit the brakes mid turn.

I heard he hit the Firebird in the finals too. That boy needs to learn how to handle his car. It's pretty sad when you cant control a stock DSM.

He's lucky he lasted untill the end. It gave me time to cool off. I'm not the same person I was 5-10 years ago. If I was he'd be missing some teeth right now

[munchgsx]

Yeah I could tell you were pretty hot. Those races, even though it rained were alot of fun.

Whats done to your car? It was way to laggy to be stock.
