Back from Sparta

[QWK SVT]

For those not in Ontario, the weather was great this weekend. Good weather for cruising, great weather for racing!

I made the 2+ hour trek to Sparta (just outside of St. Thomas), for a little fun. Results can be seen here:

Racing was fun, and I surprised a few who were not expecting the big car to mve as well as it did. The look on the 3rd Gen Firebird owner's face was priceless, after I walked him (and it was caught on video tape)!

Local PS - Cayuga opens next week. It is much better prep'ed, and is closer than Sparta. Anyone interested in going, sometime (doesn't have to be next week - I just wanna hang out and race :burnout: )?

Do you have any PICs or video you can upload?

Also, we should have Marauder meet one weekend at Cayuga when there is racing going on. Get a bunch of MM owners up! :banana2:

I've got video... Just need to take the time to put it on the computer, and post to the 'net... Probably later tonight.

I would definitely be up for a Marauder meet at Cayuga! There's a few of us around, hopefully others will chime in. :beer:

That's awesome QWK SVT! So you beat him bone stock, correct?

Yep! I've done nothing to the car to enhance power (speakers and tinting don't count). I ran full weight (spare and all), with about 1/4 tank of Sunoco 94. Tire pressure was untouched. Basically, this is exactly how I am, when roaming the streets. I think I could do a little better, if I were to play with the tire pressure...

Hopefully, by the next time go to the track, I'll have the JLT intake that I've ordered. If so, I'll make a couple of runs stock, and then drop the intake on, to see what it does.

That vid was nice to see. I've been avoiding picking on cars here 'cause I wasn't too sure about how fast this car is stock. I'm going to be a little more confident out there now. And when my Xcalibrator from Alternative Auto shows up, well that'll be an entirely different story. :D
