Texas Motorplex Feb.9th Results

[Stratman]

Really nice day at 70 degrees F, but only getting in 2 bad runs in 6 hours sux.
It was good to see Blueball there and he's getting better with the camera. :nod:

First run vs buddy's 700 HP SRT-4 <---No Traction at all:
60'...1.951
1/8...8.038
MPH..89.57
1/4...12.434
MPH..112
Didn't get to log the first run but I believe it was around 22-24 psi.

Second run vs 2007 tuned 505+ HP Z06 Vette:
CSX too lean/let off
60'...1.841
1/8...7.859
MPH..90.97
1/4...12.875
MPH..84.55

The Z06 guy came over too me about 30 min after the race with a smile to shake my hand and tell me "Good race, I didn't expect that at all".

I will edit the SRT4 vid tomorrow. Here is the Z06 vid:

Good work. Good launch too. Tires? How'd you get the announcer audio too?

[Stratman]

Thanks.

Radio in the car. Most tracks now have announcer broadcast on a radio frequency.

Cool video :thumb:

Thanks guys,
If it wasn't for the stupid fuel shed closing while I was waiting in the staging lanes for an hour and a half, I bet I would have had that Z06 and my 10 sec run! Stupid nasty pump gas!!!

[BadAssPerformance]

Nice runs & video... always fun to impress the vette guys ;)

[BLUEBALL]

O damn,you cut part out where i was tellin guy in ft of me that i didnt need another commentator,lol. Can hear "dumplin"halfway down track though lol.
Chris in SRT had lotso veggies,mostly spinnach (lame joke). Shoulda let me drive :nod:

[Stratman]

That was lame!:nod:

LOL, the comentary part was pretty funny, but the Z06 took so long to stage I had to cut alot out.

Cool...I wish there videos of me and Matchbox winning the Corvette Nationals in 93 and 95! They both were two day events and both times I got runner up with my nitrous fed 85 GLH on the Saturdays while giving all but one a head start (he had a 671 blower and dailed 11.8 while I was running 12.2s..then he blew out the rear end))...then I brought out the slowest car at the event and won on the Sunday portions.

[BLUEBALL]

AH,Angelos still around. Havent seen the Matchbox car since SDAC 6. That was looong time ago :nod:

[ATaylorRacing]

Yeah...still kicling....still got Matchbox. Was turboless since a divorce in 2000...ex married the exchange student we brought over...from Europe...fish and visitors smell ib three days. Traded for a 05 SRT4 last week!

You know Strat, 2 more seconds of footage wouldn't have hurt:( Like the SRT's MPH on that pass. I had to watch twice to see you 12.40, it's pretty short.

[Stratman]

Sorry, I sure wish I could video from the stands AND race at the same time! :)
