This video is the Turbo Mopars at the Strip, Las Vegas.
We had alot of fun. I rode with Boyd(aka mock_glh (http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/member.php?u=574)) in the Ugly Old Omni (http://www.uglyoldomni.com). We drove from southern California to Las Vegas on 3/4's tank of gas (the car jam packed with stuff, including my fat @$$), donned a pair of slicks, then proceeded to race for 3 days. Boyd won the Low E.T. qualifier award and proceeded to spank the rest of the Sport Compact class coming in first place!! :clap2:
It's kinda hard to hear, but if you listen closely to the announcer, he basically starts out saying "You wont be seeing the quick times with these cars" as the 4 cylinders started racing. He was refering to how much faster the v8 cars were running. But as Boyd hits the track, the announcer gets blown away by how fast "that little gold car" runs.
There was a group of vipers there that on average ran high 12's. There were only two vipers that ran faster than Boyd's time, one of which was a twin-turbo that ran something like mid 9's. The other was a viper that I'd guess had over $100,000 sunk into, which ran 11.30's. There was a 12.25 viper that I had set up to race against the omni, but he must not have been very confident with his 8 Liters as he was no where to be found. That would have been funny, 2.5L (135 cubes) whoopin on 8Liters (488 cubes)... heehee.... :lol:
The people coming to talk to us were telling about how the crowd would :cheer2: for Boyd, but barely :clap2: for any other car the whole weekend. :bounce:
Alan(aka 2.216VTurbo (http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/member.php?u=368)) came out with his Shelby GLHS. It was having issues with the computer going into limp mode and the new calibration did not work at all! Even with the computer pulling all the timing and whatever else it does in "limp mode", he still ran 14.7 @ 105.
Two guys, Clay and Dean, came down from Utah to race. The K car had some mods, but suffered from an A413's lack of "go" when shifting into 3'rd. It ran pretty decent during qualifying, but blew the hose off the turbo first round of eliminations :(
The movies are ready!:amen: It's 12 and a half minutes long, so the size of the file is somewhat large. If you have broadband, I'd recommend you take the time to download the large file since it's much better looking. Of course if you have dial-up, you shouldn't bother downloading either one (it'll take you a week:yuck:) Any constructive criticism relating to my work on the video is welcome. Enjoy!
