Longer runs are so much fun. Back in 09' I ran out at the salt flats in my fox. It was a bast.

Edit: Take your Marauder!!!

[DOOM]

Damn that's awesome!!!

[guspech750]

Man. If I had a built motor and trans (for insurance). I'd be all over this.

This looks BA. I may have to go there to watch seeing as I almost had a heart attack reading the entry price to race for a day

I was thinking in my head "Look at those dumbasses standing on the edge of the track taking pics!" And then I remembered us at Charlotte Motor Speedway, doing the exact same thing. :rolleyes:

[stevengerard]

wondering how many runs you would get? This would be a blast, I've seen these before many 911 TTs, Corvettes, Lambo's, Shelby 500s, Ford GTs and even a Turbo Supra here and there

[ajdereicup]

^^^I was reading and they said they were hoping about 15 runs per person IIRC

[Baaad GN]

There was some big money running down that strip!

Just pull a few degrees of timing to be safe and let it rip. you will likely just go to the top of 3rd. For 195$ that is insane cheap for the thrill. If that was close to me I would be taking 2 cars. Haha.

Time for my Magnum T-56 project? Hmmm. If I could just get this 4r70 to blow up... 8 years of pounding the squat out of it something's GOT to give!

About the 3rd gear comment Vortec, Joe has 4.10's and I know with my 4.30's I am in OD before the first 1/4! My set up could never handle a 1/2. 😔

how would you handle the high revs, accelerate to 100 or so with OD off, then turn it on or would you have to start with OD on?

[Rockettman]

Very cool.

(Vettes look awesome!!!!) Just sayin'.

I have four trips down the 1320 now locked in OD. My gearing runs out probably around 1200 feet??? at 6500 (with smaller DR's) What sucks is, so far no issue. 😉

Woohoo... must be doing something right. They banned my IP. Oh well.

Careful what you wish for, after all the beatings on my car the trans finally blew and as bullet proof as it supposedly is I still don't know why the OD light was blinking after the rebuild. I still think it was high heat but hasn't gone on since the first week, is it cooler temps outside or what. Not sure. At Gingerman I ended up turning OD back on as I was hitting 120+ on the straight away and with 4.10s I was revving pretty high.
