Talking Denton 1/8th this Friday (8/4)

I'm meeting a couple of R/Ts at the Denton track this Friday if anyone wants to join.

It'll be my first look at a 13-second R/T (Yes, in the 1/4 for you wise guys). Could be very interesting. I'm hoping for a mature adult-type meeting as opposed to the standard "Oh yeah, well if I spent as much money on my R/T as you did on your Lightning, I would kick your a$$" exchange. Doug, Autothrottle, Moonshine, etc... fun time guaranteed. Remember Doug, the first person to the finish line doesn't get gravel thrown on them. They also race 9-second brackets on Friday night.

OK Smart ***.... It will be the ultimate irony to have gravel thrown at you from your own Drag Radials......

I spit in your general direction. (That's like an open act of defiance or something).

Hmmm....Go_Rila sounds like Dennis sans his pipes. Que paso?

BTW, I think Autothrottle posted that he's got the dreaded intercooler leak, so I doubt he'll make it.

go-rila spit can cause some poor 60's. i'd check that "gravel" too (DON'T TOUCH IT!), cause go-rilas have been known to toss some pretty vile sh*t, in your general direction.

Cool

Go-Rila, Don't forget to hang that stalk of bananas on your rear view mirror. Silver-2000 will look good through bananas! Only kidding Silver. Also I think you will be faster now with the lighted Ford Oval on your tail gate!

There is a red r/t in Denton that is supercharged,geared and seems to have a strong exhaust note. Couldn't get him to get into it but seemed pretty strong.

Question

Anyone else going to Denton Friday ??

Go_Rila wanted to give you a chance to get used to the new perspective of my truck you will be seeing Friday. After the finish line it will be accompanied by the sound of gravel bouncing off your truck.

NORTHBOUND

From Dallas/Ft. Worth
N I-35 to Denton
4 miles North of Denton to Exit 473(Milam Rd/Love's Truck Stop)
Exit and stay on North bound service road about 1 mile
Service road U-turns back underneath interstate
Turn Right at the first road and the Dragway is on the Right

I had referred to this track as Kennedale in the past and am hereby making my apologies.... Texas Dragway is in Kennedale and is a different track in a different part of the Metroplex
