Wish I could go out and pick on a couple mustangs :(

Well get rid of that government motors trash and maybe you could.

What does bench raced mean

Getting rid of the car isn't going to change my work schedule buddy

1. To discuss the possible quarter-mile elapsed time (E.T.) of a car based on a list of modifcations or horsepower estimate.
2. To discuss the estimated output (in horsepower) of one engine versus another based on lists of modifications done to each engine.
3. To discuss "which is faster?" or "Which would win in a race?" between two cars, based on 1 and 2 above.

An example of the term used in a sentence:

Enough with the bench racing you stupid no0bs!

4. Believing dyno numbers determine the winner of a race.

It might, you wouldn't have to work nights and weekends anymore to pay for all the repairs it takes to keep it on the road.

hahaha thanks man, sorry i'm a stupid noob who knows little to nothing about cars. I appreciate the education!

It usually does.:xmasorlyflag:

Vettes break down very little. You are a Ford fan boi or uneducated in the matter.

Where does the Friday night drive meet on coit?

I've put over 10k miles on my vette sence January. not 1 problem with it so far. Thats like 7k sence the cam install.

*crickets*

No one wants to get whipped by a Cadilac

I'm down for a run at a track.

What happened to Zeek's Corvette?

I'm thinking about going to TMS for the last event Friday night.



Zeek had to have the Jaws of Life get him out of his car last week.

Not even you!!

Steve, even on DRs, I wouldn't suggest that. It's spin city out there with the amount of rubber that gets left at the starting line and the first 200' of pit road. Being Auto will probably help you a good bit, maybe, maybe not. More people have been participating in the car show than running drags, which was NEVER the case in prior years. Plus this Friday night practice ends at 7:30, so you better get there REAL early.

When people running slicks and and 275 DRs are spinning almost the full 1/8 mi, it's very unnerving.

Steve put the pic of my car on here from DR. I can't from my phone.

So whats the story that caused the accident?
someone hit you or just lost control?

Dude - of all places. It's known to be a deathtrap with zero traction and no timeslip. Is there some reason you're avoiding a real track in your stock CTS-V?

I see he posted, so is he okay now?

Just a broken hand.......

Glad you're okay, Zeek.

Steve, it's cheaper to get in and race at Ennis than it is to race at TMS for possibly just one round.

Going with a group of friends.

lol..riiight.

Its free to get in for me =)

Do the car show and take some laps on the track. That will be way more fun

Nah. The V isnt a show car type car. Its just a daily. I will get my toy at some point. No rush.

Trust me, you would blow away most of the cars that "show". Lol

LOL, that bad huh? I'm just going to hang out with some friends. I know the surface out there is crap and have no intention to run.

As for ET's, I don't give two shits about what ET's this heavy slow turd can run. This is my daily, it just happens to be a lil fun to drive and can fit my kids in it when needed. If I can get in a few races with it against some of the Stangs around here that's just a fun bonus.

There are a couple of good looking autos for sure, a few classics. But everything else I've seen show the few times I was out there were nothing to brag home about.

Since anyone can drive on the track and the show being open to anyone and all car types you tend to get that. Saw a few 1,000hp supras, 800hp evox, a few nice fox bodys and supercharged c7's. They do the parade laps around the track in 3-4 groups at a time, so try to be with a group of faster cars for the best experience. They despise passing, so getting stuck with a group of diesel trucks with a rollin coal stickers just sucks.

GLad to know that the show has already gotten better.

I still wish they didn't charge so much

Its hit and miss. $20 is steep for what you get and im surprised its stayed that price. I will say though the amount of people in the grand stands seems to get less and less....

It's $20 bucks, not a lot of money. Like 1/3 of a tank of gas. lmao.

I think it will eventually bit the dust.

But, at the same time our temperatures have gone up drastically lately, so that may be contributing.

I'd rather spend my $20 on gas to the store for some Shiners, then back home and watch TV. :D

My retirement plan hasn't kicked in like yours just yet, so i still try to budget. :D

I dont have a running car sir, I doubt he wants to run my wife's GTI.:favorites37:
