[ray944s]

Was that some 8sec vette? If I did not know there was another car on the track, I would have assumed you had a solo run.......

[stealthydave]

I'm here!!
I've been out of touch for a while again, but I'm back.

(Thanks to Ray944S for the heads up on Turbo-Mopar!)

I do have a DVD put together of Turbopalooza. It has a lot of video as well as all of the pictures that I took set up in a slideshow.

I can burn copies for anyone that wants one.

mike. what was your r/t??

My first run was a 17.426 with a .642 rt and a 2.864 60'
second was a 16.263 with a.286 rt and a 2.601 60'

If it was the silver C5 in the video you're talking about that was there, it was an automatic on 18" drag radials w/ just a head/cam package and exhaust. It was a guy in his mid 50's or older possibly, pretty cool guy to talk to.

I can't watch the vid right now but his times were pretty good that day for the mods... but I don't know about 11.1, I think the best I saw was a 12.1. Sorry if this is all irrelevant info, I'm bored in class.

yup thats the guy he must have had something new.

I was pissed when I seen I was racing him I origanaly thought I'd be racing a honda or something then they put this guy next to me I was like WTF

FWIW:

A few years back at Turbopalooza, the same C5 guy lined up against Joe O'Conner and his 11 second Daytona.

There's a video of that run somewhere, Joe *smokes* the Vette.

In the staging lanes after the run, he told Joe " I knew I'd been had when I saw the roll bar in your car"

He's a good guy, and is well aware of the potential of TD's.

There was a guy I remember from a couple years ago that had a red C5 with nitrous and slicks running those times...older fella.

Dave,

Please count me in for a copy. Hopefully you got some video of "The Couch" rippin' of mid 14s. I haven't raced her much and it would be nice to see her in action!
