These trucks are cursed
rather than waking up at 430am to go to the drags in fontana, my friends talked me into going to "grudge night" in palmdale. 2 traffic accidents and an hour and a half later we finally get there.
since this was my first time at palmdale i had no idea how it was set up, we just kinda got there and i was racing within 5 minutes. first race is a new Z28, i pull up and stage, and im preparing for the textbook launch, but the lights arent going. so i let my foot off the gas, and naturally once i do that then the lights start, by the time i had barely any boost built up the lights were already green. i ended up with a shitty 1.46 reaction time, but still pulled a 1.89 60ft. the beginning of the race was a joke, the Z28 was in my mirror, but came on real strong at the end. i still pulled out the win, but not by much. my first 1/4mi time was 14.05 at 93.54mph. IMO thats just absolutely shitty.
the next race im thinkin "ok gotta at least pull 13's" i getting ready to stage when i look over to see what im racing i see a new camaro SS with a license plate that says "10SECSS". right off i know this isnt going to be pretty. paying too much attention to the camaro i didnt realize i drove right through the water in the burn out box. i pull up to the line, stage, and launch! before i know it my tires are just spinning and the camaro seems like its already half way down the track, by the time my tires even hook up. needless to say, it was a slaughter! although i dont really consider that to be a major defeat, when the guy finishes with a 12.06, and my slow ass pulls a 14.14
im in need of some major tuning here, and im sure using regular 91oct is part of the problem.
since we hit traffic going there, i was only able to get 2 runs before they closed the track, and i hate leaving the track after getting beat.
so im pretty pissed that i drove 90+miles, sat in traffic, paid $15, and only got to do 2 runs. anyway were heading back home, im cruisin around 85, when i fly by a saleen. next thing i know this guy is so far up my ass, that i can read his license plate in my rear view mirror! so i wait for a straight part on the freeway, and jump on the gas. im hauling ass doin about 115. Adios motherfucker! right? WRONG! that guy reeled me in, and flew by me like i was sittin still, i kept my foot on the gas, and it didnt even matter, he pulled so far ahead, that i just quit. goddamn it! i wish these eff'n trucks had more power in the top end.
i pretty much drove home with my tail between my legs, after pulling 14's, and getting beat by a mustang. tonight has truly sucked! and ive disgraced the sy/ty community! :sad:
