Burns I wish you would take Zip's advice. Take your daily driver to the track and enter in the footbrake class. Then come back here and tell us what a "Pro" you are. Hopefully there would be at least 50 cars entered. Oh and post some time slips. :roll:

FIRST ROUND FODDER :lol:

I been wanting to take it to Pickwick to run Test-N-Tune one Sat. night it's only $10 to enter but I believe my ole truck will just spin all the way down the track. But if and when I can get it to the track I'll get videos and post them along with time slips! And I know I'm no "Pro" and never said I was. And MEM I'd probably get put out 1st round LOL! But listen and learn thats why I come on this forum!

Zip i know about where that Girl lived...she said she was 19 but when i looked at her profile pics she looked 14 to me (tod i agree she was cute..just like a puppy is cute IMO).....her brother in the pic was like 6 yrs old....ya gotta be careful with that kinda of crap on here (internet)......and yes her profile has been deleted entirely....wonder why ?

so in short i know nothing about her although she claimed to know some of the same people i knew a long time ago...

Now Tia if you happen to read this its nothing personal just suspicious as hell...i been on here 8 years and see all kinds of people come and go...

Seth you live close enough to bring that drag truck of yours up to Byhalia raceway in north mississippi, I'll glady show you around and introduce you to everybody.

Maniac (Paul) is trying to round up some folks up for a meet up at Byhalia in October anyway, it would be the perfect time to meet some of the guys on here and get some "expert" advice 8) on the in/outs of bracketracing....lol :wink:

Cp

I agree that she looked young, but she also had a lot of tatoos (which i don't like and told her so) I don't think you can get tat's ligitamatly at younger than 18 yrs. old. Sorry i was under the opinion that you knew the 30 something person (drag racer) that she was supposedly going out with. Didn't mean to bring you into something i didn't know about.

Zip.

Yes by all means SETH bring your truck to Byhalia in Oct. You think you will spin all the way down the track :shock: There's enough track preperation with rosin ( you walk up to the starting line you may lose you tennis shoes) you'll be lucky if you can even break the tires loose and you can meet a real RaceChick, she runs her own car (a late model Corvette) comes too the track by herself, drives the car too and from the track, running street slicks, runs in the 7's and runs footbrake. There's the posibility that she will woop your butt and you'll go home in love :lol: I didn't talk to her but she was parked 50 ft. away from us and she ain't no dog,She does go rounds.

Zip.

Cp my truck isn't drag truck everything is stock (wish it was though). I don't think it's a bad mother ** and can woop everybody. I know where my truck stands and a newer truck could easily leave it in any kind of race!! LOL :lol: :lol: And I don't think I'll be able to make it. But when I get my camaro the way I want it I'll come and visit!

80's and muscle car dont belong in same sentence

zip, he want be able to make it because he has to home by 12:00.
Come to think of it those were some good times, but a long time ago. lol

Actually here in MS with the license I have I have to be off the road at 10pm!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

And gas is the biggest problem! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Best time of the night was 10.46!! 1/8th mile (600 ft)

none taken here Zip.....Seth We got a 69 camaro street driven all stock from Factory..93 octane pump gas, thru the Mufflers, footbrake..D.O.T. ET Streets...and my wife has run a 7.60 @91 mph....Not to Shabby for a 40 yr old mom that does Hair for a living...she just likes to get behind a wheel every now and then...no kind of competitive racing involved (just playing)..except for a few years back..i took her to the track on a sunday and me and another guy that had his wife with him that had a mustang...we paired them up and my wife dusted her britches...best 2 out of 3

Yea thats what I do mainly for fun. My truck weighs 5500 lbs and has stock 88 tuned port injection 305/350 IDK which one but has smog crap still on it and a 700r4 tranny with the stock limited slip rear end under it. And I hope to put intake/carb with some vortec heads and headers on it sometime but really dialed in on getting my camaro done hauling that heavy truck is just to big of a hassle when your just gonna make 3 or 4 passes!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Is it me or isn't a 1/8 th mile 660 feet :?: If it is 600 feet then i have been running my car more than i need to :!: :?

1/8th mile is 660 ft I just put 600ft because I didn't want you to think it was a full 1/8th mile track. this is a little community track basically.

I race at Bristol Dragway so we run 660 ft, So did you measure this out on a dirt road or gravel :?:

HUH? dirt road? gravel? I ran it at pickwick dragway in Michie,TN. http://pickwickdragway.com/ it's a small 600ft dragstrip.

Seth you're missing the point, bracket racing is not about how fast you can go. If i remember correctly a couple weeks ago your logo said i don't know how too build them but i can drive the hell out of them. Bracket racing is how good does your hand,eye, and foot work together. Your truck can 10's and you can win money if you can drive consistently and the truck will run close to the same #'s, that's what it's all about and that's why i said you need some seat time before you can be a real racer.

Mopar, there's four tracks in No. Miss. that they call 1/8 mi. tracks but in fact are shorter. Them being Pick Wick, Fulton, Blue Mountain, and Byhalia about 600 ft.. There may be more but i don't know them, Jackson Miss.(Byram) is only 500 ft. and used to be a NHRA certified track. the reason they don't run a full 1/8 mi. is because there are some scary fast cars in the area and stopping is a problem, even with hanging out the laundry. Case in point a few weeks ago a promod car at Holly Springs full 1/8 went 3.91 @ 187 and dropping the laundry before he hit the first mph lite. Another guy in Tupelo Ms. holds the nat'l record at 3.63 @ 217 for the 1/8 mi.

Zip.

Dang Zip 3.63 that's quick :!:

hey seth what did the tpi come out of? gus corect me if im wrong bu gm used tpi (tune port) motors were saved for F-bodies and vettes
(edited for spelling)

It came out of a wrecked 1988 Formula Firebird and was put in my 81 chevy in 1990.

Blue Mountain Dragway 600ft track some pretty fast cars for around here W/O actually being tubbed out.

Well Chit !!!...Guess we a little faster around here then what I thought....these 4.40's-4.70's our Local 10.5 cars been running would be 4 20's-4.40's on those 500 and 600 ft tracks....lol


I did the math One day and from the 330 ft mark forward..we traveling close to 194ft per second....On a true 660ft track 8)

IDK if these tracks around here can keep up with that kind of power!! :lol: :lol: Most of them little tracks that I go to hardly have much track prep they might blow off the track and spray something on it but thats about it.

I've seen a pair of alcohol funny cars run 4.30's at Fulton. There's about 200 ft of asphalt beyond the turn off and believe me they used every inch of it. 4.30's is definately scary fast at either one of the tracks i mentioned. One of the guys that was at Byhalia with us (Tommy Fowler) has been low 4.'s in his dragster at Byhalia and said he thought he would never get stopped, made the turn off about 40mph. I've seen him run 4.70's at Memphis in the same dragster.
