went to the track

[keerus]

hey. i'm not sure if this doesn't belong in here, if so then let me know, but i went to the track on friday and saw some pretty cool stuff.

first, a jetta, 96-98ish (that body style). it was black and looked 100% stock, down to the wheel. the exhaust wasn't too obnoxious or fart-canny (is that a word?) and sounded actually decent for a domestic fan like myself. anyway, what surprised me was that it ran a 13.53 i was extremely surprised. that is pretty quick for a jetta in my opinion. i'm not sure if it was a 1.8T or a VR6, perhaps a VR6 since i didn't hear a turbo spooling but i could be wrong.

second, a fox body 5.0 stang. he had fat ol' slicks and he sprayed off his nitrous while waiting for the other person to stage. i've never seen a car at the track launch like that stang did. the torque just cranked it sideways and lifted the front end way up also his turbo was soo loud, *drool* it was quite incredible. he was running low tens all night

it's likely that neither of these cars will surprise the majority of you, but i thought it was pretty cool. again, if this belongs in a different forum, let me know, but it is related to racing anyways later.

Got any vids?

[keerus]

nope, but i'm going again this friday to race my car, and i'll see if i can get vids of that. this past friday was free because my dad knows the owner of the track, so my friends and i got free tickets, but we couldn't race our own cars, so we're going again this coming friday. my dad is taking his 96 viper gts modded like crazy... i'm giggling with excitement to see what a 500+rwhp viper will do when it's on the bottle this probably sounds like b.s. but i can get pics to prove it. anyways, i'll be racing my 98 camaro z28, and i've got some friends bringing a 74 nova w/350 bored 60 over, an lt1-equipped caprice heavily modded, and a 97 firebird, cammed w/headers and true duals. it will be a fun night at the track this weekend :-) anyways just thought i'd share my excitement. peace.

Hey, not to be a jerk. But there has been quite of BS going on lately. Pics would be great, and if you can get vids even better. Sounds like it will be a fun weekend. Can't wait to hear about it. Late...

[keerus]

not a problem. i had a feeling this would happen.

pics of my dad's viper (i apologize for the quality, my garage is very small and it's hard to get pics of the entire car)

pic 2

pic 3

the reason for the paper in pic #3 is to prove to another guy on IRC of the viper. "ib" was his nickname.

pics of my camaro can be found at http://members.cardomain.com/keerus

this will be a fun weekend indeed

That viper is amazing have u driven it? You are so lucky to have that car in ur garage i have been dreaming of that car sense i was 10.

[PearlGT]

I was content with just reading it but the pics of that viper are oh so sweet.

[CivRacer95]

Damn, you think with a car like that, you "would" have a bigger garage...eh? J/P. Very nice. You have my respect already. Thanks for the pics. late...

I woulda thought this should have been posted in the "Drag Racing" forum instead of "Street Racing" since it was done at the track but...whatever, who gives a shit?
