Everyone,

I just rolled in from the F150 Rally 'Race Day' at VA Motorsports Park (1/4). It was alot of fun. I think the 3 of the 4 L's(Me included) had never run before at all.

The general times were:

13.5 and greater.

I ran twice, times were:

13.976 @ 99.57 2.167 60'
13.766 @ 99.59 2.049 60'

My RT's left a lot to be desired, but hey...thats what practice is for. I think with an even better 60' and some more practice launching, 13.5's are well within reach.

Weather was in the 80's, but it felt like the humidity was creeping up....

I was very happy to see all the L's turning times better than LT-1's and 5.0's.

I give all the L owners that participated a big thumbs up.

I also give a big thanks to Mike Troyer for setting this up. Also, thanks for the TRAC program update...

I have some race pics, pit pics and pics of JAG's bed cover to post. Let me download from camera and upload and I will post later today.

Again, Kudos to all, and thanks for the good time!!!

Let's do it again in Sept....Im Serious.....

Hey guys, just wanted to say it was great finally meeting some other L owners. Had a blast at the track except for the last run!!!

Brian, Can't wait to see the pictures. Good thing you left when you did. For some reason they made Shorty and I wait for an additional 20-25 minutes before they let us run again. Then, the pro street guys that ran in front of us must have left some gas/oil on the track because they had us wait again until they clean it up with what must have been water. LEARNED A VAILUBLE LESSON, NEVER LAUNCH HARD RIGHT AFTER THEY CLEAN THE TRACK!!!! I spun for about 40 ft until I started to fishtail, going toward the wall so I quickly shut it down.

Hopefully we can all get together when the whether gets a little cooler. Can't wait to test out my new 4.10's. Should be putting them in this week.

Nice to meet ya Mike, even though I am a PSP team member!!! Hee,hee. Appreciate you putting together the whole F150 day. Jeff
