The SVTLightnings.com Fall Classic is now in the initial planning stages. We will be looking for an October or November date at the Hallsville Texas Raceway to host a Lightnings Only event.

Three classes to include Open Class, Gen I brackets, and Gen II brackets. Looks like we probably need to throw in a grudge match or two. :mad: We will have all summer to promote and raise funds for trophies etc..... :burnout:

Comments?

Psssst............don't tell Doug yet. I just thought of this.

OK, you get first dibs on Terry if you want to, because when I get a hold of him there won't be anything left for anyone else after me. :D

I'm in, and I guess for my 1st grudge I'm going to have to pick Cooper, since the sorry SOB has me by 1/1000 of a second on personal best times.

Uh on Moonshine, thems fightin words. You might ought to buy some mods, since you haven't added a mod on it in probably over a year.:)
I still can't get over your truck with just a chip and filter. It must be the driver.:burnout:

Moonshine

Ah, but Justin you are mistaken. I've added two mods in the past 6 weeks - I did the pillar boost gauge, and then thanks to Logan I did the bucket seat mod. I figure 2/10's for the seats alone. :) Besides, old age and treachery will always prevail over youth and enthusiasm. ;) I figure a pootietanger can pick up .001 on a whippersnapper in a heads up race, sack lunch or not.

Moonshine, when was the last time you upgraded the program on your chip? I bet there is more hp lurking in a newer program. You can also shave a solid tenth off if you jam to some METALICA while you are in the staging lanes. I have done it with and without playing them and has proven to lower your et's.......you know its sad but true!

For my official first post, I would like to say...to anyone that wants a piece of the Gen2Kilr, to bring it on! :D

It would be best to bring it now than later, because later will be alot worse. Also remember guys, you're not the only ones that are allowed to modify their trucks. It will probably boil down to who has the longest $$$$$$$$. My $$$ may not be that long but I have a discover platinum that says I WILL NOT LOSE TWICE.:D

This sounds like it will be a great event. Hope everything works out.

OK. I'm serious about this thing. I know the NHRA Nationals are at Ennis the second weekend in October, but I'm thinking 19/20 or 26/27. Should be cool weather etc....

Sixpipes, I am in for definetly. How can I no go when it is 45 minutes from my house. I don't know if I will run either Open class or Gen 2 brackets though. Being in Hallsville I bet you will have a lot of support from the others.

I will be there, and in full force.:D

Moonshine
03-28-2002, 06:56 PM
Justin, I'm sure there is more HP in an updated program. H*ll, there's more power in my old program. I had him back off from his usual street performance program in the intersts of longevity and durability, and that was last fall. Never fear, it'll be plenty strong enough. I may try the Metalica, but I'm kinda partial to Golden Earring. :burnout:

I may have my forged short block with lots of secret stuff in the truck by then. Even though I am not a lightning, could I get a Wild Card to the event? I won't be there unless I can compete!

"Regular Ole F150" modular (4.6L & 5.4L motors) class to draw more folks and because everything is still in the planning stages consider it done. :p

Thanks Sixpipes, There are going to be some very fast supercharged F150's around and if we can't run with the Lightnings then we ain't s**t! It would be a lot of fun to throw some Supercharged F150's in the mix just to give you Boys something to beat up on.

We gonna have to do something about THOGG!!! He has just called us Gen2 boys out!! We just CANT have a Gen1 slappin' us around! Some body let me borrow some slicks, and and I'll have him baking us all cup cakes!! What flavor you boys like!!!:D :burnout: LMAO!!

(I think Justin will have a better chance with THOGG, but Ive just got to try and put my bluff in on him early!):p

Hey Stank dog,(oh I'm sorry Skank dog):D ,
I'll buy you a set of slicks just so you can get a taste of the GEN2KILR!! ;)

As for Sir. Blackwell your best bet would be too buy a GEN1 and I'll help you fix-it-up,then maybe you might have a chance!! I'm working on some big changes just for you. Try not to lose all your sleep wondering how in the HELL I'm going to beat that GEN 1.


See ya at the track soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can show you better than I can tell you.

I still haven't forgotten about this now. Lets do something for after FFW Ennis. It would be nice to have the HALO group there also.

I'm talking to Hallsville about November 16 or 23. Both dates are open. I'm also open for suggestions regarding format.

Chuck says he will run us as a Club Event. $15 to race $10 for spectators. Tentative date is November 16. Gates open at 4:30 PM with two hours of T & T. Event starts at 8PM. Rooms are available at the Longview Inn through the track at $34/night. We can have a couple of classes and he will run the program for us at no charge. We can put up, say ten bucks each for trophy/prize money and get out pretty cheap. That might be the best way to do the first one. Having the track to ourselves on Saturday will cost $5,000-6,000 because that is his big money night so I don't see that as an option.:cool:

That sounds like the best deal there. I am glad you got it all figured out. Lets do it. We need to start another thread, so we know who is showing up.

When you say Club Event do you mean TALON or all L's???Remember there are a few Tyler and a couple of Longview guys that most likely can make it.
There is even a L or 2 in Texarkana. Also what about the Cajun (Louisiana) L's. lol Also some HALO guys might show too.

Would be nice to have 25+ L's since we have our own class.

Justin,

The format is Club Event. The plan is for it to be an "All Lightning" meet. I don't see why we couldn't get 50+. :burnout:
