The Marauder to the 1320 that is...

John (buckwheat), Steve (hidperf) and i met up at
Gateway International Raceway last evening.
Even after all the advice John gave me, i still managed to forget to turn off OD and TC, oh and also redlighted on first pass and netted a 15.25@94.66 (15.25@94.66) Sorry John :( us old dogs don't always get it right the first time.

Second run a little better with a 15.05@94.58 (15.05@94.58)

Third run (best) with a 14.96@95.05 (14.96@95.05)

Steve and i managed to get get lined up for last pass of the night.
He treed me with a .049 to my .624 and beat me to the towers, but i ran quicker with a 15.12@94.15 (15.12@94.15) to his 15.200@93.95 (15.200@93.95)

Had a great time and all the cars were awesome especially that 5.0 stang that ran off and left me on my first pass with a 9.338@148.18 (9.338@148.18)

Gotta get them 4.10's

okay, now I'm jealous. I wish I could have been there. If you read the local paper though, you will notice that I got to drive fast that night as well. I was just in a crown vic, not a marauder.

Belleville. 16 yr old ran from us in a 04 Dodge Dakota. He ran just because he didn't have a license. dumb. From the 8600 block to 2300 block at over 80 mph in traffic. I was amazed he didn't kill someone.

That's something I will never understand about people, if you don't have a drivers license, just pull over cause running always makes things worse.


Congrats on popping your 1320' cherry! What mods do you have or are you still stock?
