There were alot of GTOs at the track last night. Fastest one there was a yellow 5.7L with a magnason(spelling?) charger. He went 11.9 I believe. Anyway he said he knew you. Really nice guy.

I hear ya on the cage. I guess I'm gonna have to install one as well, as much as I hate to. I certainly don't want to slow the car down, so I guess a cage it will have. Look forward to seeing ya there.

I didn't catch his name, we only talked for a minute as he was ready to make another pass. It was a 6-speed car though.


Yep. Most likely Rick. He's getting faster but still on a learning curve with it.

At private rentals they are a lot more easy with the rules but I would think with the vert they will start busting chops at 11.50s but I could be wrong.

Well, they've got a date and time set.

The Mustang guys have far less paid up than the GTO folks but it's still two months away.

Too bad they never set any classes. It's all run what ya brung. So the only way to see which group is faster is just to see which cars are winning more races.

I'd like to see the Mustangs do really well but I'm concerned because the GTO's seem to be more race-oriented and the mmjax crowd more show-car oriented and running for fun. Don't get me wrong there are some fast stangs too but they seem to be more the exception than the rule. I get the impression the average GTO in their group is a low 12 second car and the average mmjax stang a second slower.

I also think there will be several stangs on street tires and they will get their butts handed to them because I haven't read of any of the GTO guys being on street tires.

There was talk of a couple magazine people there showing up. I'd hate to see someone post an article about GTO's whoopin' Mustangs from some Pontiac Magazine or Hot Rod magazine.

I plan on going down and spectating so we'll hope for the best and see.

We are looking for some clean fun but on the MMJAX site there is so much smack talk about whooping our butts, it's crazy! No matter, that is part of having a fast car.

I can't wait :rockon:

I'm on street tires - DOT drag radials, that is!
