Domestic vs Import = BROKEN OUTPUT!!!!

C5_PIG · 11-03-2002, 05:32 PM

After watching so many break their rears, I finally got bitten. Went to the Domestic vs Import (BOY WHAT A SCENE, LMAO!!!!). Pulled into the water box, wet my tires and pulled up. The track guy pulled me up to far into the rubber IMO. So any way, I waited for this stupid race RICE Mazda to get up to the lights. IT TOOK HIM FOREVER to light both yellows. By that time my tires had already have dried up. I was then instructed to start my burnout. I felt a funny moaning noise and when I lined up and went green.....CLUNCK!!!!!!!!! Car didn't even budge. Thats really sucks that I had to break in front of these idiot ricers. Oh well maybe next time. The D/A and temps were definitely there for new bests. :( :( :(

That sucks.

When ever thay make you wait too long, go back into the water.

I broke both my halfshaft this year at Etown because of the same thing that happened to you.

Sorry to hear that. I ignore the starter dude, and just whip it right past the water and stay there. Roll out under power and burn the water off.

Sooner or later, something breaks on us(Some get it a LOT more soon that late ;) ). It's racing :)

Bummer. Hope you get it back on the road soon.

Sorry to hear that Mark.:(

You should've gone home, gotten the Integra, and switched sides. :D :D :D

Sorry to hear that Mark (or is that Mac...LOL). How did you get it home? Did you get any runs in or was that the first?

Dave and Julio came to pick her up. Nope not one run, this happened during time trial.

Billy if I picked up the Integra, I would have blended in oh so well. All I would have to do is rev it to the max 1000 times, do a 100mph thru the lot, almost run over pedestrians and run a 17 second 1/4 mile. That's it, I'm in. Just call me RICER_PIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that kinda news!

Cliff99C5hardtop · 11-03-2002, 10:00 PM

I know the feeling Mark, I did the same exact thing to my car. You should be up and running in no time.....

Now tell us all the truth, did Rob Ferretti really lose to a CHEVETTE???

REDGAR · 11-03-2002, 10:15 PM

Sorry to hear it Mark. I'm sure you'll be back together in no time.

So you've done that twice :rolleyes:

Mr Mojo · 11-04-2002, 01:23 AM

Damn Mark, that sucks. I was there this morning before the gates opened, me and Dave T had a transaction going on. We stopped to talk with Dennis and we must have saw about 1,000,000 cars coming in almost hitting us and each other, I knew then it was time to get out of there.

Frank you have no idea!!!! You should have seen/heard what was going on in the parking lot. WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS. I guess when you rev your car to redline, you automatically tune your car up. When I was leaving they almost ran over the guy working the gate. They flew around us and were swerving in and out!!!!! All this for a 17 second POS!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I had a grenade launcher, I would have made E-Town look like a rice patty field!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

MyFirstCorvette · 11-06-2002, 01:11 AM

I (luckily) wasn't there, but I heard about most of the fun! :rolleyes:

My friend, who has owned many different types of cars, was there as a spectator in his honda (I know.. I know.. but it's FAST!) :cool:

Anyway, he went up in the stands for about an hour, got back to his car, the door was open, the hood up a little..

To make a long story short, somepeople had tried to take his car! :mad

I haven't been to Englishtown in a few years, I hope this is not what it has turned into? :(

CORKVETTE1 · 11-07-2002, 01:38 AM

that really sucks dude i hope you get it fixed real soon :cheers:
