They say you learn something new everyady...I'm good for a week
 

First off I had a blast today at Cecil dragway and I did not even race.
The weather was perfect and the place was loaded with Lightnings , Cobras and Harleys.
I got to drive the Cobra there with the top down and it was a blast. I am liking this car more and more.
I lot of KBs in the house. About 4 Cobras with them, 4 lightnings and a couple Harleys. Seems to be a popular blower around these parts.
I am sure new low E.Ts were set for a lot of people.
No 10s for the Lightnings, but Eric (99svtlightning) had an 11.1 (so close) and our very own Fast Gator banged out an 12.07. For those keeping track , that is a 7 second improvement over the last time he ran.
Nitrous Pete(03 Cobra, KB and Juice) hit the 9s with a 9.99 at @144 MPH (DAMN).
A 03 Harley w/ a built motor and KB ran an 11.67.

I went to JDMs afterwards and got to hang out with Stan Martin(RUSLOW) which BTW means ARE YOU SLOW (I did not know that).
and see his truck. He was nice enough to take it out of the trailer and went pretty much over every piece of the truck. This guy knows his stuff and he is very straight forward. Thanks again Stan for the tour of your Lightning.

I can not wait for April 12th to do it again and see old friends again and meet new ones.

I will post some pics soon.

The was a nice little surprise waiting for me when I got back from Jim's.

I guess I will be back there for some tuning in the next week or two. Maybee I will have to show up April12th.
:rocker:

Hey that is my Black 01 in the second to last pic! Thanks Vinnie!:D

Yeah Stan seemed like a nice guy, i talked to him on the phone a couple weeks ago about my suspension set up and what i should do. Will definately be ordering my stuff from him. He took his time to answer my questions and stuff.

Look there's me way in the background looking over my truck. Finally raced today for the first time (against Gator yet):D. I don't think I did to bad with a 13.7 bone stock. Only got one run in because I didn't have a helmet. Had a blast, great turn out hope to see every one there on the 12th. Gator sorry to here you didn't get into the 11's. Thanks again for all the help and tips before I ran I really appreciated it:thumbsup: .

Vinnie,

You must be talking about this truck. Stan is a nice guy. I found out about the R U SLOW when I met him too.

Oh Man that sounds like Fun

Amazing numbers from everyone, CONGRATS ALL

And Mr Gator, WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW
What the hell is that about, A 12.07 :eek:
THATS AWESOME DUDE :thumbsup:

Ok I'm gonna go on a limb here and say Gators got some serious Moding going on. Does anyone know his mods ???

And V,

Don't get too comfortable in that Cobra :D

:( Wish I could've made it, we needed some Gen1 representation there. It's pretty bad when your company forgets to mail you a paycheck, so you can't even cover the $10 spectator fee :smoke:

Yeah, it would be an understatment, to say it was a fun filled day.

I'll tell, these trucks are so fu*king great, they make me want to :beers: . Drive two hours, throw some rubbers on the back, knock off a 12.075 @ 112.27, beat SouthJersey Fred, then drive two home and watch a replay of the Bucs kicking the Eagles butt:devil:
Seriously Fred, Thanks for the offer to use your front tires in trying to hit that magic number

A Special THANK YOU to Jim and Shawn at JDM for their expertise in tuning and problem solving:thumbsup:
So now I can honestly say, I have the fastest plywood hauler at the Home Depot in Linden

Wish you would have made it down Rob, it was a blast! Got to see the JL Crew once again and meet some new folks. Sorry Crp_Diem, I forgot your name (Can't remember Luke, Paul???)

I will be better prepared on the 12th with new rubbers to make that elusive number. Can't wait........must spend money

Till the 12th, I bid a farewell to my Lightning Bros

**All Throttle......No Bottle**

I learned a few things just reading this thread :D

Glad to hear everbody had a fun time. Congrats on the new times guys :thumbsup:

Sounds like a good time was had by all.:thumbsup:

... and Congrats to you Bruce for one heck of a good run. Wow!
See..you were just teasing us before, playing with us, sittin in the bush just waiting to unleash your fury......:devil:
