I was at work on friday and got a txt message from Tiffany. It said. "I've made a decision, you are racing tomorrow" HAHA, I love tiffany! I hadn't raced since November of 2009 at NMRA race in Houston. My first RT was a paltry .061 light and the car ran a turd second gen 15.4 in the texas...

Saw a nice clean 97-98 Base Ivory Colored Mark VIII going north on 59 Ran with them 70-75MPH for a few miles til they existed around livingston. We exited at the next exit and headed over to Zavalla to visit relatives. The car was nice, had an LOD sticker in the rear window and cobrastar...

I got a little free time this past friday night and took the 98 LSC to the local 1/8th mile track. I go to the track and went thru tech. I head to the lanes to get a couple of "hot passes" so I can verify how much cooling the car down helps. first pass ECT 200/ACT 108/Air Temp 82/Humidity...

The street stock points series has moved to Angleton Raceway Park in Angleton Texas. Friday night we had the first points race of the 2008 season. 2008 street stock will run roughly twice a month rather than the "week to week" grind we formerly had to deal with to "stay competitive" in the...

Since the tracks are just beginning to open and start their 2008 bracket season, I took the car out to the local 1/8th mile track to "brush the dust" of both myself and "Grandmas Car". I cooled the car down for 30 minutes and headed to the lanes. First pass RT - .5374 60' - 2.27 (spun) 330...

Possibly could someone "Sticky" this post? Those of you that have PILES of timeslips might appreciate/enjoy having a database utility to help you evaluate your performance modifications, or just to keep all your timeslips in an easy to review program. This program will "correct" your ET's...

I was trying to peer pressure some mustang guys from www.centexstangs.com to come out and run our bracket program with us. I offered to PAY for their tech card, if they would just show up.. and race. They rolled out the "excuses", from one end of the spectrum to the other. It was obvious they...

Went back out to LSMP friday night for the street stock bracket race. Track conditions were horrible and during TNT I could only muster a 2.26 60' (yuk, spinage!) Made some decent ET's with crappy 60's. Went 14.26 @ 100.6 and 14.22@100.69 and 14.25@100.99 in NINETY ONE DEGREE HEAT..all were...

I've been working on some bracket racing tunes for my car and made a trip out to Lonestar. I let the car cool down for 45 minutes, as to lose some of the heat soak from the 1hr 45 min drive to the track. First pass 63 degrees 85% humidty RT --- .0803 60 --- 2.220 330 --- 6.184 1/8th - 9.34...

Craig can you give me a comparison on your 60 foot times from before you swapped to coils versus after you swapped to coils? I'm thinking about the additional weight of the front struts compared to air ride. The reason I'm asking is Glen {stone17) is having problems in the 60' I/we have no...

If any of you folks bracket race your mark 8, then heed this warning. you MUST let your competition win once in a while. If you do not "lay down" and let them win, then.. before long they'll stop coming. example: Tiff started racing in the Jackpot Class at LoneStar raceway park. when she...
