Cool well I'll definitely have to go then since you both are going. Are you racing or just going to show it (or both) I got some new drag tires to try out what are you going to be running for tires?

Well I guess I will have to go lol. Sounds like fun!

[chief455]

Does 2003/2004 Marauder classify as 'muscle car'?:confused:

In previous events I thought their was a year model cut off.....

[chief455]

Well I guess I will have to go lol. Sounds like fun!
It's HUGE!!
I'm part disabled, and need a cart to ride around = PACKED!
Not the best day to run your car, too many. Still awesome to see :)

[RacerX]

Let's get a count! Who all is going? I'll put a list in the top post.

[camelgrundle]

I am lol but u knew that. I am dumb did not look at top post. Carry on.

[RacerX]

I took a few mins before I edited it. :D
Hey, I just noticed you list having an Alternative Automotive tune. So you have the SCT tuner, right?

[camelgrundle]

Yeah I sure do! But te tune that is on the car now is from the shop I got it dynoed. Not sure which is which on the handheld.

[Triple Threat]

I have a extra set of drag tires mounted if anyone wants to use them sunday.

[camelgrundle]

Might have to take you up on that joe!

[camelgrundle]

Well we had a good day at the valley. Got to meet Babbage and racerx both good people and joe was very nice and let me use some slicks for the day! Babbage beat me twice with a N/A car which we were all happy about! I finally got my best time the third run with a 13.8 at 100 mph. And a 2.097 at the 60' with a .418 reaction time which is slow I know but had fun. Joe unfortunately had problems with the big boy stripping all the ribs off the belts but was running 10s with the purple car. And racerx was killing the 12's. thanks for you guys "showing me the ropes" I learned alot!

[babbage]

It was a great day! I got sunburned despite wearing an outback hat... here are some pics

Joes Engine - next up is a direct crank driven centri!! ?

[babbage]

This is the race of me vs Cadillac ^^^ in pic above


http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/27/epujy4yh.jpg

He staged deep and beat me at the tree, I couldn't believe it! Even though my MM is faster than that caddy. I ran a 13.9 dial and ran (3) 14.0x flat times all day long, it was hot and humid.

Saw a new mint stock mustang mach 1 with the factory shaker hood setup run a 14.8, and Racerx beat a brand new SS Camaro that ran a 13.1..

Oh and the Grundle did get me! lol

[RacerX]

We learned that 1800hp and Lord knows how much torque will delaminate a $250 carbon fiber/Kevlar cog belt... Damn... That was on the burnout in the staging lane too. At least Joe had Purple. Both very beautiful machines. It turned into a fantastic day. Musclepaooza had the biggest turnout ever. You couldn't find a seat in the stands. Great bunch of people we had as a crew for Marauder central. There were people taking pics of all the Marauders and asking questions. Very cool! Thanks for the great time guys! :beer:

Joe was quite the gentleman, as usual and brought us this fancy drink chiller. I kept trying to find where to put the quarters in, but hey, I'm a noob. We used to just shake the drink machine to get them out. :D

These pics don't do the paint job justice!!!

[courtmarshall]

I was there at the very last minute got to the track at 2:45. Did get a chance to see 4 Marauders run before we left. Great showing for the Marauders. Good to see them out in force.

[camelgrundle]

should have stopped by the marauder pits lol. Did you see my throttle pipe blow off and me hitting it back into place after the burnout lol.

[RacerX]
