Default THE ROCK this sunday

hey guys and gals this sunday happens to be street wars at rockingham if you dont already know its a 1/4 mile drag strip in rockingham nc its about 2 hrs from raleigh down US1 toward sanford. Phantasam is hosting it. i went last year it was suposto rain so i didnt take my S and it wasent a huge turn out but the cars that were their were nice. so im wondering if anybody would like to go down. im going for sure and so is the S this time i know this isent what our cars are for but if you havent raced on a strip i think youd enjoy it. i know some will bash dragging a car built for road courses but i dont mind i enjoy it and im a dedicated VIR guy with a car built for circuits. Anyway ill be going down with a buddy in his bagged S10 and my to close friends one of them owns 2 nice vipers a 99 comp coupe ACR. our other buddy will be driving and hes driving his newer 08 viper ACR thats a nasty car!! we did 168MPH on the back straight at VIR and braked a 2nd to last cone and hitting a full 1.5+Gs decelling. so it should be a fun day if you guys wana go just let me know and ill get a list going and well meet up and caravan down.

Too many slow cars at the track at those events. At least when I used to go. If you want to race it is normally not a great day as too many cars in street tires to have great track prep.

I would go in a heartbeat man but I have Air Guard duty this Saturday/Sunday in Charlotte.

1.5Gs is crazy for a car, I went up in a 2 seater F16 in Arizona so I understand how much G's can be fun, and suck at the same time

BTW I got up to 6 Gs on a full circle loop and nearly passed out with a G suit on
