Had a race day this past Sunday at Byron, just a test and tune.
Saw a 2004 silver MM in the staging lanes abandoned, I checked it out closer, 89 clicks, clean flint interior.
Then a while later, a younger guy early 20's approaches me sitting in my car and he identifies himself as the owner of the silver MM.
I asked him how he runs and he said, he only has had the car a couple weeks.
I smiled and thought to myself, I like this kid!:D
He asked how much I gain removing the driver side headlamp.
I told him, "about a tenth"
He asked me a few questions about launching the car and I did my best to pass on my 1320 tips .
It seemed to work his first pass was 15.4 and after the tips he bettered his first run.
His second pass was 15.0@ 97.XX bone stock it was also 84* & humid , I had to high five him on that one!
Then he askes me if I can help him take out the drivers side headlamp, He wants 14's :bows:
Well, he did not get a 14, I do not remember what it was, but he did a nice job representing the Marauder community.
I had ten runs, best of the day (one off) 13.3
three shots @ 1.9 60' on wagon wheels 255 55 18
My favorite race was against an White 1964 Chevy Impala SS Conv 496
it is owned by a old Basketball buddy of mine.
I tree'd him to 60' .054 to .115 and that was all of my surprises, he went the best of the day 12.95 @ 105 to my 13.5 @ 100
I got sun burned and had to leave for more fuel.
I'm glad I headed back for a few more runs that SS was a blast to run nearly next to.
