Redfirepearlgt Vs. Tutone
Tutone takes the win.
2fast4you and kennebellcobra witnessed
Redfirepearl - 13 GT Stick TVS
Decided to call out Tu-tone tonight since we were both at E20 together. I tried to be a good sport and offered to help him out by letting him borrow of my little Maguires Tire shine for the his Hoosier Drag Slicks sidewalls but for some reason he declined. HA! Since I was the challenger I figured it only fair to give him lane choice. We staged up, the tree dropped. I got hole the shot on him...but he drove around me by the 60 ft mark. I thought at one point I gained on him a bit about the 1/8th but he got me clean and clear with little effort at the stripe. There may be a video lurking somewhere for my wall of shame.
Good running car Tommy! Had a blast. Guess that makes me number 10 on the list. Time to go buy an auto. LOL! 2fast4you and kennebellcobra were there to witness.
oops..... wrong spot.
Here you go chad... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Icfn3JSndBoQuote:

Then again going auto could kind of like be playing from the front/SR Tees in golf when you become of age. Sorry folks we can't call the front tee's women's tees any longer. Its front tees or SR tees. Ha frickin HA!Quote:

Well I was winning for about .125 sec, LOL! Thanks again for the opportunity Tommy, and thanks for the compliment. Now people may understand why I have considered trading my 13 for an 04 SVT and slapping a 2.3L whipple on it. :bigthumbQuote:

So I'll let him decide how it goes. I got him by a bumper and ran 11.51 grabbing the win. Its up to him so either I'm 7th or last cause technically I raced. I'm not trying to screw anyone over. Race master can talk to him and make the call?
BTW S281 that's a sick ride you have!
Race was at Kilkare Friday night lights
2013 60th anniversary Corvette grand sport
Stock bottom end with custom cam, Paxton Novi 2200R, methanol injection.
Yeah, we were hoping to make a heads up race when the eliminations were complete but we got paired up in round 2. They ended up shutting down due to curfew before the races were even done. So we did not get to race again. I think USMCPONY should be on the list. I wish we would have been able to run what we planned. That is one fast vette too. It was nice meeting you and i look forward to seeing you again at the track. I also got to meet another sbz member that was running his blue sn95 with a centri. It is fun running into people you have been reading about their progress ontheir cars and then get to see them run out at the track. I am new to this group so that has been fun. Other forums you post and chat but the guys are from all over the country and you never get to see them run.
Good to meet you too!Quote:

Yeah it would be. I couldn't run the car at full potential. I got disqualified my last run for running to fast. They wasn't happy lol.Quote:

I cant wait to see him race for the list and after that we will have an even dozen and thats when some feelings will get hurt and the credit cards come out for more gofast parts! Lol. Got a feeling that someone is gonna slip off the list at some point. I'm gonna have mine ready this week provided the trans works as hoped. Thanks to a member on here I have a shifter now, just waiting on the c4 linkage kit to get here tomorrow. Trans brake wiring is run. I'm stoked. I think we are gonna see some pretty tight racing over the next few months.
We need to figure out a track day coming up with good weather so we can all meet up and get down. Stir this up a little bit!
I'd be down for a weekend track rental. That way I don't have to call off work.
I would like to call you out for you're spot if you're ready (to forfeit it). LOL:tongue2:Quote:

Ok, I forfeit. You have my spot. I'm doing this for you because I was supposed to come Thursday and race you, and I have two dyno appointments on Thursday now so I can't make it. You are now #5 and I am 6. We have a dozen.Quote:

So you don't have to go up the list ???
You can just call out a spot and run for it ???
Maybe I'm confused, I thought it was like S.O. and you started at the bottom and worked your way up ???
Just wondering ...
You can call out anyones spot Aaron.
Gotcha ...Quote:

Aaron, when we were discussing starting this list last year, the main complaint was it would take weeks to move up the list. Another argument was having an 8 sec car having to run an 11 sec car to get on the list, it could be dangerous if something went wrong. So to expedite the movement on the list and make it easier for people to go up and down the list, I wrote the rules as is. Think 9f it this way, you can challenge the number 1 spot if you want, but if you lose, you aren't on the list unless there is an open spot on the bottom. Now that the list is full, people should choose wisely who the pick to race.
Hope that clarifies it for you. A lot of thought and discussion went into making this. I started discussion 2 years ago. I was hesitant to start it, but now I'm glad I did. This shit is FUN! You should try it! Win or lose it's an adrenaline rush.
Fired the car up for first time last night I should be ready by the middle of next week hopefully!
Good deal, I take it that you are talking about the Cobra?Quote:

Congrats!
Can't wait to see it out.Quote:
