we decided to do a best 2 of 3 from a stop and from 30 mph roll we both had gtech to ck our times . I ran 12.175@118.5 and 12.18@119.2 he ran 12.71@114.6 and 12.77@114.8 then on to the 30 roll he keep up till about 75 where the ole gal pulled to about a 3-4car win each time . we both left with a new founf respecy for each others car . and I left my old town as the koth as he had beat everyone else in town .So my sikky pride is intact. those little cars are pretty quidk but the KOTHis still on its throne oh ps we were @ 4000 ft

Those cars are quick. I actually like the SRT4. Too bad the Caliber looks like a turd.

Way to represent the KOTH

Congrats!
Too bad you didn't race for pinks.
Don't know if I'd ever risk it- one bad shift/stall
and it might be bye bye.

Oops, forgot to ask.
About how old was the Neon driver?

the neon driver is21 . has sunk every penny into it. been there done that . he came to the race a smart mouthed ,arrogant little sh*t, left with a respect that there is allways a faster car and its better not to brag so hard about how bad his car is . to just race for the fun of it. i kinda wanted to rubb his nose in it but guess in my old age thought to share a few things and just gently tease him a little. think he learned alittle . dont brag so much and the zr1 is as he put it one fast ***** but watch out guys those littlecars can scoot

That is great. You know what - I think that if we have to look at a f(*&king ad in the first post of each thread, then kill stories are fair game again!

Get one of these at Walmart for $100 or so...Dont laugh, mine works great. Nice stills, mp3, etc . 1 universal camera cable downloads directly on your computer using windows or their editing program they supply. 4aaa nickel cads and a charger are the ticket, batteries last awhile and lots and loits of recording time.

Bang for the buck factor-

Has a threaded hole on bottom to mount camera, I bungee miine to the headerest cause Im a cheapass.

Night shooting forget it but who cares anyway.
