Not really. Majority of the guys are in 240's.
They don't let retards get on the track. And if they just so happen to slip...they'll be flagged immediately to get off the track.

lol... i really doubt she will come out with me, but at least she will be able to take the little one somewheres and go have fun... I know my son wants to go, he went last time, I might have my oldest daughter with me this time, she is showing a lil bit of interest.
I have so much work to do on the box before the show. This weekend I wont have anytime, hopefully next weekend I will be able to install all the mods I have sitting in my kitchen. I figure this time next year I should be done with the majority of the stuff I want to do to it.

I have too many imprefections and too little money to iron them out to be show ready. but i do plan on re painting a few things and adding more lights...My wife probably will come, she came last time too, eventhoug she complained about the cold...

I remember it being far when I was about 14 years old, from raceland. Maybe it was just cause of my age or because my friends parents drove slow.
Big_Kokujin
08-31-2006, 04:31 PM
i think its the age thing...because you are so excited it feels as if it takes longer than it does...

Damn, I got some LSU tailgating to do all Sat.Im gonna have a belly full of alcohol, can't drive with that, lol. So said, got to miss this one.
Big_Kokujin
09-01-2006, 05:09 PM
Well i can't say that sucks, because i think i'd rather be tailgating too...espically at an LUS game...I was gonna go to Birmingham for a Grambling game, but didnt...cause i will be going to Houston for a Southern/Grambling game on the 16th...anyway...i might have to take a ride up there, what time to you usually start?

Okay so i went...it was pretty cool. Only like two or three of the drifters were good. also there were some FWD trying too :ttth: ...
Then there was the dragging. I saw three tCs, a white, sliver, and the dakr grey(sorry don't know the sctual names) I saw another that was kinda like BCP. There was even a SRP box that ran. His slip said 15 something, but the board said 19. so 19 it is. He ran against a newer model ram that might have ran the 15. But i have it on camera that it was a 19. The box even did better than some of the other cars, and it was a stock stick. I think the tC's ran like mid 15s to low 16, one of which was the first race and got smoked by a big F250 diesel...there was lie 3 fast civics...one of them even ran in the 10s the others like 11s and 12s. There were some fast ___ trucks too, all fords, two lightnings(sc'd f150s) and even a Harley Davidson edition that ran 12s...But my favorite was the supercharged mustangs...I just love the winding sound of the blower...I'll post of the videos later.

were any of the civics a blue hatchback sleeper?
Big_Kokujin
09-05-2006, 04:20 PM
like a 05? It didn't look like a sleeper...but it wasn't all riced out either...but yea there was one, that _____ was breaking loose in third...
iheartzombies
09-05-2006, 04:34 PM
Ah i dont think its an 05, but there is an old civic, about 95 maybe, around here in houma. It looks like a hunk of junk but it haul's ___. Dunno if it's a sleeper but it is abnormally fast.
Big_Kokujin
09-05-2006, 04:41 PM
the only blue one i remember was a newer one. wasn't the 05 model the si that was the hatch? there was an EG that was black, and another hatch that was like gold, but no older blue one.
