Post subject: | Just got in from the San Antonio Clash of the Titans |
Been a long weekend, we left Thurs night and got back this morning about 10am. I'll have a couple of pics up soon, but the bottom line up front is we lost in the finals due to a broke axle. Was to bad because we had that bastard covered by 3-4tenths. Oh well 500 bones covers the expenses. When the car came off the trailor it had a noise that sounded like a tranny going south, so we swaped in a new glide and in the end all it was was some loose flywheel to adapter bolts. For a car that broke 3 ds and 1 tranny at Fun Ford St Louis on its debut, it has came a long way. We (not my car or me driving) got it down to several 8.4's with a best of 8.2 @ 178mph. I told Ray that my wife is gonna hate him, because this weekend I decided that I dont want to run true street or cheap street. Its true 10.5 or nothing!!! This heads up racing series kicks major ass!!! ...more to follow |

Sounds like a lot of fun! What type of car was this? Those are impressive numbers regardless, but just wondering! |

...okay here is a couple of pics. pulled it off the trailer at 7pm for first round qualifying, then noticed the sound. Thought it was a tranny so had alittle fun. ![]() first and second round came and went, here it is the next day at 10am getting ready for 3rd and 4th round. It ended up 4th on the tree with a 8.48 @170. Pretty much a conservative nitrous tune on a 4 jet spread using 38 fuel and 34 nitrous jets, only one stage (about 350hp hit). ![]() This is Brad Brands turbo coupe. If you want to go mid to low 7's @ 200+mph, that 101mm turbo should get 'r done. ![]() This camaro proves that lots of cubes with even more nitrous gets it done. This car made it to the semi's in super street outlaw. ![]() This is tweaked the full on freaky turbo camaro. This thing runs in the 6's at 225+. ![]() ![]() ![]() here is Brad Brand and Chip Haverman in the lanes. Chip runs mid 7's in the 190's. The 2nd gen camaro in the back came out of nowhere. Nobody had ever seen this car, but he showed up and scorched pro street with a 4.90 @ 150mph (pro street runs the 1/8). ![]() This is Jim Flores and in the back is Mikes car(the people I hung out with). Mike is the guy in the white shirt. He owns the car, Chris Derrick drives it, and Mike also sponsors the true 10.5 class. He owns Worldwide Muscle Car Restoration. ![]() Here is another bad ass car that had its debut in OKC Clash in april. When this car gets sorted out it should be bad ass. They had one problem in OKC. Seems the pro charger got hungry, and the guy checking the #1 wire lost some fingers to it. ![]() ![]() The last one I will post, is good news for the fans, but terrible for the competition. He is back from retirement. Mike Murillo returns. ![]() |
