1BADFRD PICKS ON A NEW VETTE
OK, so it's Friday nite at LSR. The traffic is lite probably because Sunday is car club day. We're running mostly each other. All of a sudden this brand new vette shows up and Alex sees it. His mouth waters. I gotta run that vette, he says and he follows him to the staging lanes. Well they don't even out so Alex goes to the starter and says I want to run that vette back there. The starters says, Does he know about it? Alex lies, sureeee. So the starter stops the 2 front cars and points at the vette to go around and come to the front. I bet this kid didn't even have 2000 miles on his new toy.
We'll, we all get out of our trucks and go forward to watch. Alex pulls his out of the hole so bad it's a joke, but the vette never closes the distance. Alex comes back with this big grin from ear to ear. The kid in the vette hasn't got a clue. The people in the stands next to us are saying, "did you see that truck beat that new vette?????
Here kitty, kitty, kitty. Next Alex will be handing out candy bars.

Results of Friday nite. I'd like to introduce three new members, REDLITE GROSS, REDLITE 1BADFRD, REDLITE NOELVM The beer sure tasted good.
Those of you going to LSR on Sunday, please post on the HALO board so we know how many parking places to block.

Thanks for the post Noel!
The funniest thing was the kid couldn't believe he got beat the first time, so he asked to run me again just to see a repeat performance. Afterwards, I pulled up to where he parked and all his friends ran over to look at my truck instead of his Vette! Duck is correct, that new Vette ran low 8.9's in the 1/8th both times. I was running in the mid 8.6's. Even though most of us redlighted (good job Duck for not joining us and coming in 3rd!) running that Vette sure made my night!

Fast Dak-
Let me just say that the weather was plain crap and everyone was running slow. Hot and high humidity. I think that time was right for the Vette as I saw a new ram air run 9.14 1/8th times which also seemed slow. I did not hear the Vette spin, but the kid was definetly not an experienced driver.
Hankfan-
A convertible should be a little slower than the coupe because of the extra weight. I think to take a C5 Vette you will probably need at least chip, filter, gears. You can not do it stock as I have previously tried unsuccessfully.
