Going again,cool.I hope to be out there in a couple of weeks.Tim

 

[SoCalSHO]

Wondering if there will be any races today due to the relatively close brush fire. You know because of air quality and stuff. It is burning right up to peoples backyards. Hope it turns out OK.

Just got back, got in 3 runs in about 3 hours.
First run:
R/T: .151
60':  1.939
1/8:  8.449
MPH: 83.17

Second run:
R/T: .069
60':  1.972
1/8:  8.498
MPH: 83.17

Third Run Vs C6 Corvette:
R/T: .476  Vs  .509
60':  1.89  Vs  1.910
1/8:  8.38  Vs  8.040
MPH: 83.42  Vs 90.27

I had him the first half, then he had me by a car length at the end.

But I did get my best time this trip.
Talk to some guys there, only one had an SHO, a 2010, but he did not bring it.
Other guys say they have seen this Black SHO recently running 8.0's. But as often as I have been there, I have not seen any other SHO's. Oh well, hopefully we will have another new member soon.

Congratulations on a new best time!  The waiting in between must have been unbearable.  But, at least cooled your engine down!

 

[BiGMaC]

Excellent job! Kudos!

Congratulations on new PB.I've also heard there's a SHO running 8.0's out there.

 

[SoCalSHO]

Thanks. The Announcer Calls My Car An SVT, A "Taurus, Now Known A Focus" . I Need To School him.

 

[DJE624]

That's funny!  SHO and SVT both start with the same letter.  Does he call Chevelles, Chevettes too?
