Hey, it's been quite a while since I was last here, my computer stopped working fora week, so I built a new one (mmmmmm Athlon XP 2400+) and I have just been really busy, plus I love drinvg my DeVile, I drive it all the time, I put 2,400miles on her in less then a month heh.....
.....Anyway, wow, alot of things have changed, more ads, Sal got his Fleetwood, everyone gets along now....... Aug 23-24 I went to the Grand Am meet in Albany, that Sat. I was at Lebananon dragway, I got there late,so I was only able to race 2 times, my fastest time, which was my first run was a flat 16 at 83mph, I was disapointed a little, that puts me about even with a new Grand Am GT, I think that was due to me launching the car really bad, and maybe shutting down early (no finish line or anything) I had everything out of trunk (spare tire and jack, tool box etc....) only mods are a K&N drop in and I had almost a full tank (14gallons, tank holds 18) of gas with $10/bottle octane booster.....
....I think if I had only 3 gallons of gas, and launched the car well, I could do a 15.8 which was what I was hoping for, 16 just seems to low.....my reaction time sucked, like 1.4 or something, but it was my first time, and I didn' care about it, I waited until I saw the green light for a bit before I went, didn't want to red light, anyway, this is a pic a member of GAOC got:
lol, man I love this car, you just gotta love the ultra-musy suspension, look how high the nose is, and the rear fender is almost at the level of the white wall....... man that weekend was great, too bad we couldn't do something like that......
I dunno if you can view this thread or not, since noone is a mmber, but here is the whole rom that was created for the NY club meet, there are tons of pics and info and stuff, it was really cool.....
