What a wonderful day to run at Norwalk. I am glad to have met all of you - great bunch of people.
We couldn't have asked for any better weather... all of us had strong days, and brought home some impressive time slips.
I finally slipped into the 12's with a 12.98@105.25.
60' consistantly at 1.85... gotta love the VHT at Norwalk!!!

 

Mr. Marc Carpenter's beautiful truck...


are these things tight enough???


Launch...

 

This guy was a trooper....
He drove 45 min. in the cold weather, and went down due to a throttle body / TPS problem.



nice trunk!

 

bet they weren't selling much of their famous pound of ice cream.

Cobra was most definitely a trooper. BRRRRRRRRR

Nice Pics !!!!! I had a blast today ran a new best of 12.83@105. hope everyone made It home save we need to do this more often!! It is awesome to see 10 Lightnings all together and lined up in the staging lanes one after another was a sight to see.

 

Sounds like you guys had a blast.I love it when a bunch of Lightning guys get together.Fun is always had.

BTW-congrats on the 12.

 

Must have been too cold for lemonade.

Congrats on dropping into the 12s.

 

to cold for lemonade,,,,,BUT,,,some hot chocolate would be nice.

 

Nice to see everyone again and meeting the others. I had some awesome 60 ft. , but it was just falling off the big end. I was impressed with Todd's L, running 12.38@110 w/F1's, 6lb.,electric pump & fan, ,longtubes, and chip on 93 octane.

So that's what took out the AC Cobra. Bummer.

Thanks for the pic of mine and ib fast's truck. Didn't even know you took that.

 

It was nice to meet everyone for the first time. Had a blast up there, we should make this a ritual for this time of year. Great looking pics also. The VHT was great to me also, able to run 12.55@107.9. FINALLY IN THE 12s!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks guys.
We definitely need to do this more often... I have never had more fun at the track. Lightnings packed in the staging lanes was quite a sight to see.
Gosh, I love this sport/hobby.

 

Nice pic's 93cobra. I tried to run my Cobra replica, but NHRA said it needed a cage. That must be an IHRA track.

 

Congratulations to 93 Cobra on the 12's, way to go Phil..
And White01, that was one of the best side by side Lightning
runs I have been involved in. What a way for both of us to get
a new best....your 12.55 to my 12.48!!!! Side by side all the way
brother. Only .1454 seconds difference....
It was a pleasure meeting everyone. Lets do it again...
A special congratulations to Shawn and Polly who spent their
1st Wedding Anniversary with us...What a trooper Shawn, you
better keep her...
More later
