Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches South Central I nearly got walked by a SVT at the track Sunday

Yesterday at the track there was a certain black SVT that showed up. I watched him run a 14.9@93mph and I figured, no biggie, I've got him beat. As I'm waiting in line, the pit lane guy smiles and points to me and another car that's out of my view. As I roll up to dust the tires off, I see that I'm running the black SVT. We stage, the light goes green, I cut a .5-.6 light (can't remember) and I get something like a 2.28 60'. The SVT is no where to be found. As the first 1/8 is coming up, I see the SVT in my rear view a few car lengths back. As I'm deep into the 3rd, the SVT isn't in my rear view anymore. He's closing in fast. Just as we cross the finish, he flys by.

The end result was a 14.3@102mph vs my 14.7@96mph. The only reason he didn't kill me was because he had a slower reaction time and 60'. BTW, he was spraying

Hmmmmm...who could it be. Hmmmmmm....


Dave

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm.

Ooooh, ooooh I know who it is! Good job man! What percent was he running, does anyone know?

If it is me than why did I too ask who is this person is?
Plus if any of you guys know me I want to see how far I can go being N/A. The only problem is that I have NO $ and I have tons of things I want to do, but are unable to find the funds .

See you guys this weekend

Okay who is this guy running times I need to be scared of? I was thinking hmmm....Robbie?....no he wouldn't do that to his ride. So that leaves me with hmmm.... no one off the top of my head. So someone please let the cat out of the bag. I want a run.

Yeah it was black. I didn't get the guy's name, but a couple of his friends came over and started talking to me about my car vs his. Did you possibly hear if this guy made an NA pass on Sunday? I'm curious to how quick he was without the bottle. I forgot to ask his friends.

Thanks for the offer on the USAC tickets. Unfortunately for me, it looks like I need to put in some hours in this weekend at work. Thank God they pay me overtime (salary job).

With all the OT I've been putting in, I may just have to buy a JWT ECU controlled 65-75-hp nitrous setup. It costs $1100 for everything, but the system is idiot-proof and has two ECU settings. One setting advances the timing and adjusts ECU for maximum NA performance and the second setting releases a progressive nitrous shot along with full ECU adjustments to keep the motor nice and happy. It's much like a ZEX setup in that it tapers off the nitrous in the topend. That would be my key to low 13s.
