DFW50's @ The Motorplex 3/22
 

First I'd like to say thanks to everyone who came out. We had a pretty good turnout considering the weather and short planning, some new faces and some regulars of course. For an unofficial event, it was a good turnout!

Next, I'd like to say..I need a gawd damn shifter! lol.


Big thanks to Nick for being a good sport for a fun, good natured rivalry. He technically won both races, but only because I missed 4th gear on both of our races. Our last past was both of our best passes and Nick barely won because I missed 4th..again. *sigh*. lol.

I didn't do too bad for the first time ever racing this car down the track. First pass I ran a 12.68 against TheHead (Christian). Second pass I ran a 13.34 because when I went to shift to 4th I went into second by accident so I shut it down. My last pass against Nick I ran a 12.50 again missing 4th. Before than Nick was running 13's on his borrowed tires, but he closed the deal on the last pass for bragging rights. He killed me on the tree due to my slow reaction times (due to no sleep the last week thanks to the new baby lol) but I would quickly catch and pass him before the 1/8th mile. I ran a 8.0 to his 8.4.

With some more seat time, proper air pressure in the DR's and a shifter, I have no doubt I can get it into the 11's.

Well done, Nick! It was fun buddy and you have the technical bragging rights for now. But we both know who has the faster car. :laughing1:

All joking aside, it went better than I thought it would. Nick has more mods than I do and I have a 100lbs on him with my fat ass. It was a good time and again I thank Nick for the fun rivalry. :)

And all I see are excuses and someone needs to learn to drive.:nutkick:

Mgw

Good times. And thank you for dinner, Chrisitian. lol

And a BIG FUCK YOU, to Jeff for saying I wouldn't show or ever go to the track.

My car is filthy, got beat on, driven in the misty shit, fullfilled my promise to race Nick as I said I would all the while Jeff is STILL carless and running his mouth bench racing. :signs8:

Yes sir. I believe the MGW is the only shifter that uses the factory reverse lockout, correct?

LOL, he was sooooo close too. In hindsight, I should have let you let out some air in my tires while I was sitting in line when you offered. :happy175:

So much for saying I don't know how to drive......I don't think I've ever missed 4th lol......its straight down!

The Barton uses the factory reverse lockout as well.

Apparently I need some practice. Let me know when you wanna find out who is the worse driver. lol.

My car is back to stock. Proly gonna trade it in for a F250. If you want we could meet up somewhere on GWB and I'll roll you from 40 for funs!

So since Nic beat Steve, then that means that STI most of us know would smoke Steve, right?:fca5278e:

LOL, fuck. Everyone can beat me, even Donnie in his ancient bucket because I can't get the car down the track. haha.

I should ban you now..lol

For what? I did nothing wrong.

For trading your car for a farm truck. I'm kidding, relax.

Actually it would be for somthing that could make me money on the side. And for less than 2k it would be making 600hp and 1000ftlbs tq. Sounds like a good more practical choice to me.

I grew up on a farm and hate the city to be honest. I miss the smell of diesel in the morning. Just thinking about diesel reminds me of home lol

A tuner maybe less than 2k but u gotta do all the deletes and the upgrade bolts I think

I can't stand diesels. Seems a lot of douchebags drive those things who just get off on fogging people in traffic.

For me to make the power I'm making I spent about 3k on the truck. I more the double the power at the wheels and 2.5 times the torque. Plus my mpg went up by 6

The only time I do it when some douchebag in a car playing his shitty music loud and basing with his windows down. I'll smoke the hell out of those people.

So what was the fastest pass of the night for this group? And who has the gopro videos?

Sounds like a good time! I was there in spirit though I was having fun elsewhere.

The funny thing is, Nick actually thinks we raised the limiter. A great placebo well placed. Way to drive, Nick!

I have a stock shifter and didn't have a problem shifting..... Just saying

I have some GoPro videos but only of the ones I was driving. was going to put it on Nics car when he raced steve but no one told me when they were going to.

What?

Beaus 12.3 I think was the fastest

In that case I may be able to keep up, especially with those 2 second reaction times in the videos!

Not against Brent lol and my reaction time was .15

I keed. :jester:

Yeah his car is quick... I may be able to keep up though!

And is that a consistent r/t? I may have to jump in on the slow car shit talking.

I got one of those

I had a great time putting faces to the screen names. I tried to introduce myeself to everyone. Did anyone get an official car count? I had several people ask me if last night was a mustang only night at the 'plex.

I was trying to have it done before coming back overseas but some of what I bought was on backorder. When it's done I'm down for a race though, I don't discriminate against who I beat!

Nice! And it got better every run! Only my 3rd time at the track


Who wants to go tomorrow to North Star?

Steve I have a MGW shifter in stock with your name all over it :)

We should be out with the shop race car in the next 6-8 weeks for some testing. Looking forward to coming out and helping some of you get the cars down the track a little faster!!!

A legit track GTG with decent turnout. Nice!
Go pick up that MGW from TS Steve.
LOL at missing 4th.

PM me a price good sir. :)

That would actually be a good idea for a group event. DFW50's/TS track day. :)

LOL, I know, I suck. :rotflmao:

I had a good time even though I only got 1 slip and slide run in. It was great to see everyone.

Last night was pretty fun besides the light drizzle that decided to spray the track toward the end. I'm happy as hell with my results but hopefully I'll have a tune by the next time so I can keep up with you guys. Haven't had time to work on my vids yet.
