You know guys...everytime I hear someone make a comment like this I just shake my head in amazement.

Usually it is the same fellows I read making posts about beating this guy or another running their truck down the streets.

Let's clear something up here. You are far more likely to screw something up, romping on the gas in a high RPM kick down, street racing than you are going down the 1/8th mile track.


And for you Ronald....specifically....you are far more likely to suffer an accident driving to work with a bunch of amatuer minivan warriors driving SUV's to disguise they're shame, than you are to get in an accident in the controlled environment of a race track.

If you guys are chicken sh!t of driving down the track or just scared to death of a little competition....just say it.:rll:


Quit with the lame arse excuses:eek: .

Can I get an AMEN, brother Ron! If you romp on it on the street, you can romp on it on the track more safely. If you're afraid of breaking something, don't mod it and start driving like my grandma.:throw: I think we all are afraid of breaking something, but I know if I break something I will get it repaired and be on the track again. I'm almost certain a stock truck will not break anything on the strip, period. Heck, heavily modded trucks (Uncle Rocks, in particular) have not broken anything on many, many runs down the track. So get your lazy asses out of the passenger seat and run.

Ronald, don't make me show you my Roy Orbison tatoo again....:nono:

Tom,

If you make it to the TMCC thing in Denton, bring my 8X10 group pic if you don't mind. I think there are some other guys that could pick up their pic then as well. :cool:

Rocks:tu:
You the man Rocks,
I hear ya! I don't run my L as much as some but I do take it down the 1320 a few times a year mostly FFW Ennis each year. I got another toy I "PLAY" with. My thing is guys that want to out run John "The Brute" Force but try to get there for free and not break or blow up anything. If you play this game you know something gonna give sooner or later (4th engine in the Stang) because.....FAST AIN'T FREE !!!!!!!! :burnout:

[PoorSvtman]

Im not afraid to race at all. I raced the hell out of my old civics, go ahead and laugh and say ricer. But it would hold its own. I used to work at a import shop and have driven tons of customers turboed and N/A cars down the track. So being afraid isnt the deal.

But with how my luck is going lately i will break something on my L.


So make fun of me all you want. I dont give a **** !

First Mike....you have to spell it like this.... sh!t....or it will get baptised(edited).

The main point is that you are not going to break anything because you run your truck down an 1/8th mile track. It puts alot less stress on it than that street race you posted about in the other thread..

Come on Mike.....bring it to Denton....help Talon put the smack down on some of the other clubs.:beer:

But i might race it just to shut you up.

Dont say the concert can wait because i paid 80 bucks and not going to miss this concert. But ill run at the next one. You got my word.

[03'svtlight]

I'm about 50/50. I finally got paid for a month's services, so my attitude's changing (for the better ) by the minute.

[Shiner1]

Gates open at 8am? What time does racing start? When is everyone coming out?

[Band]

I'll be there when the gates open. We want a good spot on the limited sized pit area... They will prolly start trials at 9am...

[Avalanche]

Gates open at 8 and the time trials will stat around 9 or so. If anyone wants to caravaan with me I will be leaving Garland about 7 or so to get there. I will be at the IHOP on Centerville and 635 got to get the morning meal in. I will leave there at 7:00 sharp.Let me know if I need to be on the lookout for anyother L's.knana

Timeslips are near the staging lanes again :mad: and shouldn't have to worry about the ricers taking our spots.

Hell, I don't think it's just Ricers....I think it is more of an issue with inconsiderate mutha fockers. Last year at Ennis, it seemed like people had a hard time noticing a pile of tools and tires.

I thought about the cone thing also. I just never got around to it.

Dennis, count me in, :tu: I have missed alot of races, for being out of town, can'nt wait!!!knana

[99WhiteBeast]

Nice day at the track hanging out with everyone:tu: - I have the sunburn and wind burn to prove it:eek: to bad not a advance to another round though:mad:


Someone post up the results please.

[L1nt2B]

well I had fun too inspite of the fact that I SUCK!...1st round I red light, break out and get beat by a girl all in the same run :crying: at least she didnt out run me :twitch: Normaly my run get a little slower with each pass but here lately they have been geting quicker with each one thus the break out. Dialed an 8.32 ran a 8.29 :confused:

[Band]

Might have had something to do with the air drying out. I broke out on my third pass for the day, which was the first elimination... Luckily the other guy broke out worse and I got a second chance haha! I had no idea it worked that way...

[Flats Man]

Congratulations are due to the "Urban Legend!" Way to go Dennis!

[tliss]

It was a good day. I think all of us that got eliminated either red-lighted or broke out. I lasted the first round and got bumped in the second when I broke out. Ran a new personal best 1/8th and then topped it steeping off the throttle and breaking out! I should have stayed in it, since I broke out, I should ahve broke out by a lot!!

Congrats to Dennis and Mike. Mike came in third in Super Muscle (aka stroking the love muscle) and Dennis won Street Muscle (I think that was the name of the class). Thumbs up to you guys :tu: :tu:

Terry C., FYI, the transmission was slamming into second hard. Dennis told me it was causing quite a stir in the audience :tu: .

Tom

[Sixpipes]

It was a fun day at the track. 7 out of 9 entrants made it to the second round with the two losses coming from red lights. :D I had a minor controversy in my class, but things worked out the way they were suppose to and I met Chris Kryder (Ken's son) in the finals. Chris broke out and I took the win with .540 light. Class winners get a choice of TMCC apparel and a plaque so that is pretty cool.

The TMCC events are really fun and if you haven't been to one, you should definitely consider spending the day with us. Next one is at Redline Raceway in Royce City (near Greenville) on May 2.

Michael was on target pretty much all day and it was unfortunate that he redlighted (.491), but I can vouch for him getting a plaque for transfering into the semifinals.

Nobody brought a camera today so we don't have any pics or videos, but I think everyone had a good time. Also thanks to Derrick for coming up from south Arlington and supporting the club. :tu:

[True Blue Aggie]

Well....here is the combination of all my reaction times today.

.05408, .05204, .05535, .05023, .05235, .06200 (What the hell was I doing there??), and .04910 to lose in the semi's.

Made my fastest pass ever (8.60, 82 mph), went to the semi-finals, and did not break anything....that seems like one really cool day!!

[True Blue Aggie]

Oh...and I calculated my points to date. So far I am sitting at nine, with six coming from today's race. :tu:

[L1nt2B]

I think I left my blue colman chair out there...did sombody grab it for me? :confused:

[Sixpipes]

I forgot to mention. Bobby took his normal victory lap around the west end of the parking lot. :nana2

[Krystle]

I forgot to mention. Bobby took his normal victory lap around the west end of the parking lot. :nana2
Who would have guessed!!

Congrats to Dennis and Mike.. Wish I was out there but I had a concert to go to.. I wish the concert was scheduled on Saturday because I'm so exhausted this morning!!

Next time I won't make any plans and I will be out there since I have no more excuses and I will be living closer now too!!:tongue:

[ken cryder]

congrat dennis that race between you and my son was the best . glad to see the talon club really doing good . see 1/8 miles can be fun .:D hope to see you at redline in 2 weeks .


i got knocked out in the 3rd round by .09 . i had the antifreeze come out of the resivior , and it wiggled when i hit second from getting under my tire and that's all she wrote . then i got beat by a 6sec car in the roc . in the 3rd round .

i'm very proud of my son . there was a mix up , and when all was said and done he was given the oppertunity to have a by run but chose to race the guy and still beat him to advance to the finals against dennis . way to go chris .:tu:

ken

[Sixpipes]

By rule Chris should have never had to race the Mustang the 2nd or 3rd time. Rules are when you stage, you accept the time on the board, but you are right Ken, Chris handled himself like a true sportsman. See ya'll at Redline. :tu:

[03LightningRocks]

Congratulations guysknana knana knana .


That's the way to stack up the points:beer:

My L has been in the shop since Friday and with paint and the rear end getting rebuilt with all factory stuff (insurance paying for it) and i probly wont get it back till next week im having dreams about taking the L down the track. Its out for the rear end right now then when it comes back they have to fix some paint.

I miss my L :crying: :vomit: and its only been for a few days.
