Default A newbie to this site and to racing
Hi everyone. My name is Joe and I found this site because there's a video of a friend's GT/CS at California Speedway on here. I have a couple of cars and am new to drag racing. I went for the first time in June. I ran my 07 Mustang GT/CS and plan on racing again on Saturday. Hopefully you can get some video of it for me. If I can learn to launch, I may actually get into the 12s. My last time out I ran 13.2 @ 108 after hitting the rev-limiter before the end of the track. That was with 3.55 gears in the rear-end. I now have 4.10s so I'll have plenty of time to grab for 4th gear. Maybe I'll meet some of you there.

Hey Joe,

Welcome to the board! It's very nice to meet you. Yes we will be out at the track on this coming saturday the 19th...you're in luck. It should be a fairly light day. Last weekend only 150 cars showed up and were hot lap'n it.

If you don't mind, please make sure to sign in here and add you name to the list of people that will be attending to ensure that we get your vehicle.

http://motorgen.com/forum/calendar.p...=2008-7-19&c=1

I'll send you a PM with my phone # as well as my husbands and if you can either call us or text us your #, that way we'll for sure get you.

This weekend I also do hope to be racing. My husband for sure will be in a white 04 cobra with drag radials and pullies. This will be our first with the new additions. It should an interesting weekend for us as it will be my first ever down the track and with the added horses. We'll have the video going allllll day.

We'll be up in the stands towards the end with the camera on a tri-pod, come by and say hello.

See you saturday.

Alexis

Launching at California Speedway on a street legal day is up to the Gods. They just don't maintain the prep through the day. Your best hard launches will be earliest in the day. You'll loose tenths over the day.

PS Welcome

Thanks for the welcome, guys. And I already added my name to the list to attend on Saturday.

I'll be sure to stop by and say hi.

P.S. Good luck with your racing!

Kind of what I was thinking, but didn't want to rock the boat (being new here and all).
