...and be prepared to wait in long lines and only run a couple of times. Get there early if you want to get the most out of your money. I quit going there after only being able to get two runs in a night...if I was that lucky.

I might come out and watch but my car will be torn down for the cam install so no racing for me.

Early in the year usually you can get quite a few passes in. Last year I got 9 passes in one night and could've got a couple more in but I figured I was pushing my luck. I always liked Kil-Kare as far as it hooks good and its a nice place to just hang out. I may be there this week just to watch. Jim hows the 91 coming along that you got from me? I

I was there the first Saturday they were open and I got 5 runs in. I left an hour or so before they closed and I let my car cool down between passes. They have a new track manager and things seem to running a little smoother now.

That sucks! It seemed like a nice car to start with. Fairly low miles and clean ass interior. Wish I had the cash to buy it back!

Thanks for the pics! It turned out nice with that hood and paint. Glad to see it look so good. I love how it sits so low without the motor in it. With the Welds on it it sat low but looked mean and thats the way I liked it.

Sure turned out nice! I sent the pics of it to Raz since he had it I figured he'd like to see it again. Wish I stil had it but oh well. Cant keep em all! Nice runs you made tonight Jimmy Maybe someday I'll have something half as fast. I tried to get some good pictures but the camera died as soon as I took a few walking through the staging lanes.

So did he beat his 8.93?

04-09-2009, 09:35 PM
I left a little early and didnt get to see if he made another pass. I know he hadn't when I left but like I said it was early when I left. The Talon with chute was bad ass!!! He run Jimmy once but was a second behind. I did see 2 8.99 passes though. Hope I didnt give anything away Jimmy!!

It made another 8.99 pass...it seemed like a bracket car.lol.Car didnt seem to be hooking as good as it should.Also theres still a slight problem with something on the launch.Good thing is I didnt have to throw the chute.But the shutdown does come quick at 153mph lol

there #'s counting you down till you eat the wall...I had my hand on the chute handle just in case...But I got it stopped fine every time

So other than the short shut down what did you think of the track?

JIMS SVT

Seems weird going down the track with the stands that close.And I didnt think it hooked as good as it should..Im sure Id go back.Its a nice place.

Guess you have some good race brakes to get it stopped from 153 without using the shute. I know I was hard on the brakes to get my 3100# coupe stopped from 136-137 there last year. It was a bit nervous to see the braking distance markers counting down so fast.

JIMS SVT

I think it wouldve stopped with the stock brakes up front really.I still have stockers on the rear but have strange up front now.

I was going to come over and bullshit with ya Jim about the 91 but you had a few people talking to ya and you seemed busy. As the weather gets warmer the track hooks better. Hopefully you'll come back soon. The more Mustangs the better!

The track will get much better as the year goes on, still real early. If you have some type of permanent number on your car, my NMRA # always worked for me, they have 1 Wednesday a month open to just permanent numbered cars. You can usually get as many runs in as you want, it's not near as crowded, and the track is better because most all the cars are on slicks.

Don't worry about the shut down, if the hard as rock sand at the end doesn't stop you, the bank on the other side of the creek running behind it will! :lol:

they have done a lot of work to the track in the last couple of months as well, including some new concrete. It should definitely get better as the season goes on. Of course I did get my best 60' ever on the very first day this season.
