It was really Good to see and talk to some old friends and meet new ones. Lots of MMs in every color.

[sailsmen]

[slickster]

[slickster]

3rd run far lane is landy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrHOgRbMIgk

[LANDY]

I ran slow very slow, just check the timeslip page. Lol

[napolitano]

I beat my time last year but I didn't do brackets. Won a trophy already, content with that, had to let my buddies go for it this year.

[sailsmen]

I ran slow very slow, just check the timeslip page. Lol

Great Time. You ran Nitrous?

[jflave]

I ran slow very slow, just check the timeslip page. Lol11,2 thats a great pass Landy, way to go. :)

[Marauder_Santa]

This was my first Shootout and I had a great time. It was great to meet so many fellow MM.net members and put a face to the names. I look forward to doing this again next year.

[fastblackmerc]

SSH11 was my first one.

Great to meet all the members that were there!

[mlschultz]

Wow, I had a great time! :) The Mark was a MONSTER all day long, and kept going faster with each run. lol I was getting concerned I might get the boot for no roll bar. A red light ended my chance for a class D victory, but I was very happy The Mark came home in one piece, and bested it's best time twice in one day!

Congratulations to JP, for his awesome runner up class C performance representing Mark VIII's!

Here's a video of The Mark going a little to fast and breaking out, but making a record run personal best! More photo's and videos to come! :)

Your car was awsome, good seeing you again.

Also got a chance to met some other new folks, LJ on 24's ran 12.6 on street tires, man you shoulda seen the grin! :D

As always, a great time.

[Cobra25]

I ran slow very slow, just check the timeslip page. LolVery Nice, Congrats !

[LANDY]

Thanks guys, the car has more in it. I will post pics and videos when I get home.
I had a good time with everyone.

[napolitano]

Landy, you gonna turn country on the trip home? I need that circle d, this PI should be called PS for pretty ****ty. At least I beat last years time. The port/polish gave me the difference to best it.

[LJ on 24's]

I had a great time at the event the car did ok it still needs a little tlc. I ran a 12.6 on street tires and my torque converter was locking and unlocking half way down the track. Really enjoyed meeting everybody hope to be a good contender next year. LANDY and Levi are real stand up guys they helped me out a lot at the shoot out. And thanks to ponyup I had a reaction time of .009

No problem Larry. I may be ugly and mean looking but will always help you whenever I can. I glad you tried my slicks, you needed to get a feel for them. Call me anytime.

[GAMike]

Though the number of cars were down this year from previous shootouts, the fun factor was outta sight:beer:
On a serious note, we heard that Haki was in an accident traveling to the shootout(in his travel vehicle, not his Marauder). Hopefully he is ok.....

The usual suspects were there making 9 miles of runs:D Paul Casey takes another trophy! (Russ being a close second, and may have been closer if not for a MAF repair he had to deal with).

PonyUp ran a 14.2 @ TnT Friday nite! (Nicely done Brad!)

Landy and Levi tearing up the track as usual. (both cars are clean/tight as he#&$ too)

Cwright laying it down nicely sub 13 sec.time after time

TAF dealing with some shift mapping issues, but improving through the day

Larry (LJ on 24's) making a fashionably late appearance to let everyone know that this is just the beginning of his quest for one of the fastest Marauder in Atlanta (Special thanks to Jeff @ Mo's Speed Shop for his attention to detail and sense of urgency getting Larry's car hooked up:bows:)

Mike Schultz in his super fast Lincoln was a blast to watch...11.6? Damn!!:bows:

Aric of Injected Engineering running 10.1 in a full interior Marauder before losing the head gasket....Nicely done Aric!:bows:9's are in the very near future here....(Thanks for your event sponsorship as well... Between you guys and Gary Cannon {Boatmangc} of Cannon Marine.... I think it would have been tough to have this event this year without your support:beer:

Speaking of Gary....He is now officially in the 12's:eek::burnout: Nice going Gary!

On the social side of things it was great sharing time once again with Jim (FBM) helping out 4-5 members with fixes thoughout the day, Tom(Marauderman) Willie (Preacherman) and his son John--- Great to see you guys!, Mac (Mac-Merc) Rex (SC Cheesehead) Dave (Marauder Santa) Bill(Black Terror), Mike BossCougar, Stacy(ROCOB) and his family, and Larry's Co Pilot to Commerce Bill. ++++ all the folks that should be mentioned, but because of my pea brain, are not.

Special shout out to Slickter.... I was hoping to meet you, probably walked right by more than a few times(cooler may have been calling me), but did not know who you were...My apologies....We will meet at some point.

This is one of those as Tom Adair says "bucket list" events, that ya can never cross off once you attend...... Its in permanent ink for me. Thanks again guys.... It was a blast:burnout:And the trip home was only about 30 minutes eh Larry:D.

[CWright]

It was good getting to see everyone. I had a great time just hanging out. Hopefully they'll put this event on next year as well. I was suprised myself running a 12.88 on street tires and a street tune. Next year will hopefully shave more time off. I was glad to see Larry make it out and I'm with Mike on Larry having the fastest Marauder in the ATL. It was good to meet Landy and Gary for the first time and also hanging with Todd,Jim, Mike, and Tom. Tom had a really GOOD time! :beer:


I had fun going up against Levi! By the way 87?:eek:

Larry your car has potential, it just needs a couple of bugs worked out and you will be set.

Great time again this year guys!

I missed meeting SCheeshead and several others as my day was spent chasing the elusive 12s but at the end of the day I did a 12.95 followed by a 12.85 on my NT555s. (Thanks Landy!):banana2:

Landy your car is a beast! You were the fastest MM there, at least by the end of the day. Your car is a one of a kind, done by your hands :bows:.

I look forward to this event every year and hope to attend many more. I can only hope that I can continue to be a sponor of such a fine event.

And just so it's clear, I claim best paint 2011 if for nothing else than default, but let's face it, it was the best paint there!!!

Grasshopper your car is beautiful, but you are not ready to take the title. When you can snatch the pebble from my hand, you will be ready for the trophy :lol:

[GAMike]

Thanks go to all of you folks as well-- --but with Mike around--the fun seems liquidated-- have fun!!! :beer: Honestly Tom, my gut hurts today, and not from too much beer either........ Between you Tom Chris & Jim at Denny's TnT and the "after party" I thought I was gonna have to see a Doctor!

Saturday was tame by comparrison:beer: But still one heck a great time. Great to see you:banana2: Until next time.............:burnout:

Gary, your car was the best paint these hands down. I have learned from the master!!
Big thanks to Landy who showed me the way with a little advise and some great changes to my shift points. His pushed the car into the "11 club". I still have a grin on my faced. The track, as in the past, was slow in the morning but picked up speed as the afternoon went on. Enjoyed seeing Levi and Landy car run very strong. Was great time and look forward to next year.

I had a great time total 21 runs could not get close to Paul. New person best of a 13.40 @101.78 with a 60 foot 1.98 on drag radials. Cannot wait till next year. I have enjoyed my last 8 years going to the sshs. Russ

[Pops]

So Russ are you still running stock cams? This makes you the 2nd quickest NA Marauder!

[03mmmonroe]

So Russ are you still running stock cams? This makes you the 2nd quickest NA Marauder!

Hello Pops,
Yes stock cams for now. I have the 98 cam but will see this winter I may install. The only change from last year 13.66 @99 mph was I now have a Diablo sport tuner that a friend of my tune for me. We left a little after 90 mph my a/f went to 11 from 13.2. May look at fine tuning for next year SSHS.

I ran a 13.54 @100.77 with a 60ft of 1.99 on the first run down the track it was 37 deg outside and cold track. I was happy with that but after lunch picked up as it always does.

Hope you are doing well.

Russ

[Pops]

Russ you still have more left in the first sixty. I was pulling better numbers than that! Put a 4.30 gear in her and you will be low 13! We feel that was the biggest issue when I was runnung NA. I was going thru the traps about 5500. The 4.30 would not change your cruising rpm a lot. Gears and cams plus a 100 octane tune may well make the 12s. Great job!!!!

THANKS, you told my one time you like be NA me to. Yes on Cams not sure about gear running out of money for the car, house items the last two years. Time will tell. Thanks again for the comments.
Russ

[Pops]

Gears are not that much money Russ! Cheap Et!

[03mmmonroe]

Gears are not that much money Russ! Cheap Et!

BUT then I should add 31 spline to keep myself out of trouble.

Russ

[Pops]

I used 28 and never broke them!

[ROCOB]

What a great weekend. I met some great people and got to put faces with the names. I appreciate Jim (FBM) and Russ (03mmmonroe) working their magic on my car. There is a lot to be said for preventive maintenance.

It certainly was nice to see a solid turnout from the Marauder collective. My family enjoyed being there, especially our oldest son, Owen.

I am already looking forward to next year. :burnout:
