Last year was rained out. The previous year I believe the fastest car (3rd gen) was in the low 9s or high 8s.

Friday is a muffled street night at Island Dragway and we figured keeping the image of the night all street car would attract the broadest audience. Transbrakes have a stigma of being "race car" parts and scare a lot of people away.

Guess I will fit into the Quick Street Bracket since I run much slower that 12.50. Can the BIG Trophy be replaced with a bunch of towels? I can hand them out to the poor F-Body drivers so they can dry their tears after being beaten. It will be a sad way for them to start the F-body Nationals weekend.

It would be about time a Mustang managed to win to be honest. Besides, we already know you are a good driver, it is just that car that will hold you back. lol
Spread the word in the Mustang community a bit if you can Kaz, it's always a good time.

No cut out, has to be muffled. Line locks are fine for burn outs, no using them with any form of launch control/transbrake. Nitrous is fine
The rules are pretty straight forward, show up muffled and launch from a foot brake.

This mustang is much better than the driver. After a few rounds it's a safe bet the Island tech crew will be looking for a box. I'll post up on the stang sites.

Pony's elimination lights this past weekend at the Grove.
Saturday, .048, 030, .000, -.005  woops)
Went back on Sunday again elimination lights .029, 007, 035.
This is with a totally new shallow staging routine. Driver error ended Pony's winning ways. My bad on the quarter-final redlight on Saturday. Ran it out anyway to a 14.10 on a 14.11 dial. In Sunday's 3rd round elimination round I took too much stripe and broke out. (had the better light). This driver will improve by August. F-body guys and gals pray for a rain-out. Its your only hope.

It's going to be tricky to launch that car bein a 6 speed. Let me know when you run it. I'm sure it'll go pretty good. I just bought eastsides 383 that goes 9.20's on a 100 shot

When one says "BRACKET RACING" most run for the hills. lol I'll post up on the Mustang sites next week when it's a bit closer to the event. I haven't been racing much this season, so I will most likely be easy first round fonder. Pony got beheaded last month at Maple by a 3rd gen Camaro. Stupid little blue camaro was .008 on the tree and went 9.688 on a 9.68. My lame run was .008 on the tree and I dumped (wasn't going to take the stripe) to go .03x over for the loss (14.25x on a 14.22 dial). I may get the Formula ready for the Sunday show. Bird has been stting since last year. Can't promise for Sunday but I will be there Friday in the Mustang.

That's strange, I would think that a heads up race is more frightening than a bracket race, but what do I know lol

It's bracket racing. How fast is meaningless. Being slow can be a big advantage because of the big head start. Faster car will be sitting on the starting line waiting for the tree to drop and have to play catch up.

Cut a better light and run closer to your dial that your opponent without going red or breaking out. Sounds easy but takes a lot of skill.

what time tonight? 6:30?
I found my old motocycle helmet. It says DOT 3 on the back, is that up to standard?
Need long pants, right?

Yes you need long pants, not sure on helmet but you can rent one of theirs for 5 bucks so it's not a big deal. And Gates open 6 pm, races start 630. I will be there...not sure in the Camaro or Explorer.
