CRAWDAD Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I am a member of the mid ohio ford club and we run a point series and rent out the track to do so. We rent out Pacemakers 6 times a year and we also race at the ford event at norwalk for points too. 2 weeks ago I was at pacemakers and they told me I needed a cage in my car, but I could continue to race just couldn't go faster than 7.50. I diaed in at 7.59 and made it to the semi-finals. So this saturday I decided to not bring the GT500 but insted just race my F-150. I didn't want to come back and be like "Hi, I'm the guy with th Illegal car. Can I still race?" I just brought the truck. Plus I was curious what it would run. First three time trials varied from 10.56-10.71 spinning out of the hole. Next couple runs I put it in 4x4 and it was running 10.54 consistantly and not spinning. Next thing you know I am in the finals against the guy who beat me 2 weeks prior in the semi's (note: he won the last 3 races). I was dialed 10.54 to his 6.50. I got a 4sec head start. I busted his ASS with a Perfect reaction time .5009 to his .567 r/t. I was ahead of him goig through the traps so I gently touched the brakes to keep from breaking out. I went 10.58@65mph on a 10.54 dial. He broke out trying catch me. He went 10.49@105mph on a 10.50 dial. We have one more race on Oct 9th. I texted him on saturday night and askd him if he wanted a shot at the title at the next race. he said, "Bitch I still own the title, Im just letting you borrow it!" Lmao Free for me to race and Won $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeDot3083 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Congrats on the win, more impressively that light in the finals! So does Pacemakers sill use a 5 tenths tree and not the .000? Its been every bit of 10 years since I have been to that track. Hell last time I was there racing it was in a Jr. Dragster.

CRAWDAD Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 yes they are still using the .500 timing system. There is nothing differant as a racer, just what the time slip says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeDot3083 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Right. I never saw why NHRA went and changed it or what their reasoning was behind it. However when they changed it I thought that all NHRA sectioned tracks had to change as well. I was incorrect with that thought process. Second thing I just noticed, Pacemakers time slips go out to four places after the decimal on reaction times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAWDAD Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Went back out on october 9th. Lost in the finals by .006 I will have to wait until our Mid Ohio Ford Club Banquet (Thanksgiving Weekend) to find out how I did in the points for the whole year. I missed 1 points race this season, hope it doesn't hurt me to bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
