Competition Drag racing in ENNIS, TX Friday night

[Gizmo 007]

Ok, here's the deal. Anyone in the Ennis, Texas area that feels like comming out to Texas Motorplex friday night, is more than welcome. They're having LTI Fast Fridays which is open track night. I believe the gates open at 5:00pm and go until 12:00.



I'll be out there trying to get some track times and would be glad to see everyone that is willing and able to come. I know it's short notice, but I just found out it was open track night. I will have Blue Thunder there, another dodge from the college is supposed to come, A ford stroke and a duramax is supposed to show up too. It should be a fun show for anyone there, even if you just come to watch.

Would it be possible to go out there the Friday night before the dyno day? THAT would be a blast! Oo.

UPDATE: Gates open at 6:00 / Races begin at 7:00



TDK, I don't know as of yet if it will be possible. Their calendar lists a Fun Ford Weekend for that day. (hmmm... Fun Ford... would that be an oxymoron?) Just kidding.



I'll try to find out while I'm there friday. Let ya'll know.

Fun Fords. You don't have fun with the Fords? I do!



Just let us know if they will have this Friday night deal that weekend if ya could. Oo. Oo.

Here's the report. Sorry it's so late.



My best time slip out of 6 races:

R/T ... 1. 270

60' ... 2. 689

330' ... 7. 158

1/8 ... 10. 761 mph ... 69. 34

1/4 ... 16. 413 mph ... 86. 84



drice's best time slip out of 4 races:

R/T ... 1. 153

60' ... 2. 535

330' ... 7. 166

1/8 ... 10. 868 mph ... 66. 89

1/4 ... 16. 839 mph ... 82. 40



Track conditions sucked ... real bad. I ended up running 4wd just so I could make a decent launch! Daniel would have, but he was afraid of breaking the xfer case.



All in all, it was a lot of fun! Next time, maybe there will be a lot more diesels there besides just us two. I also hope to have videos up by next week (or as soon as I can convert them).



No word on the friday before Dallas Dyno Day yet. Hopefully sometime this week

No go for the 9/20 races at Texas Motorplex. They're only allowing the true racers on the track. No street cars or trucks. Sorry guys, I tried. Oh well, I'll need everything in order for the DFW Dyno Day anyway.
