So there was this truck...

[roo]

THAT GOT ****ING OWNED

The end




Oh, and there was this red camaro. It was a pretty close race. I think I was within 20 cars. I thought at first maybe his gears were hurting his top end and I wasn't losing anymore ground but after reviewing the video it appears that he kept pulling away and I just missed the first time he hit his brakes to start slowing down. We'll have to race again once I clean my k&n. I think the tables will turn after that.

[clint]

:eek:

[Johnny]

ROFL

his truck is slow as **** tho

[roo]

I'll remember all of this talk.

I will too. It'll make it that much better

[00dakotav8]

Hate to make an excuse but wait till I get the slick fixed.

I wouldnt call it ownage. I got holeshotted and then it stayed even.

[00dakotav8]

Least it runs.

You got owned.

[00dakotav8]

post the vid *****.

[roo]

post the vid *****.

All you see is a vehicle way off in the distance in the vid. You can't even tell it's you.

[00dakotav8]

lol anytime

i love my gears.

[roo]

damn so much hate.

:kkk:

No hate. Your truck just didn't have what it takes.

[Cobra Commander]

The Mark VIII didn't have what it takes either. I got raped out of the hole, and was back a good 2 cars or so by the 1/4 mile. :( Those gears suck my ass.

From a 15mph roll to 110ish we could have passed Grey Poupon to each other. ROFL

[roo]

From a 15mph roll to 110ish we could have passed Grey Poupon to each other. ROFL

That was awesome. We were neck and neck and then I think my car shifted in to 3rd and you start pulling ahead and I think you're going to walk away from me then your car shifts in to 3rd and I pull back and we are neck and neck again until 110ish when I hit redline.

[Cobra Commander]

All that was going through my head was "Please god, don't let this rearend fall out from under the car now........" :nervous:

*The diff bushings are completely gone, and it feels like the pumpkin is going to drop on the highway*

[c0z]

That truck had some serious traction problems on the brand new asphalt, it looked like it was in the rain. That 3rd gen is definately a beast though :bow1::thunder:

[Cobra Commander]

Roo's driving skilzzzz > Dakota Boy's driving skilzzzzzzz

[roo]

For some reason I thought we started right before the new asphalt but it did feel like the road was crumbling beneath us when we took off so maybe we did start on the asphalt.

Either way I was in the f-body so I'm supposed to get to use the "i have no traction" excuse ;)

No, we did start before the new asphalt.

Used to launching on slicks = no traction when trying to feather the pedal with street tires.

[roo]

Used to launching on slicks = no traction when trying to feather the pedal with street tires.

hahah idk if I'll have the one fixed by then. I can hook good enough.

If you're not getting traction then you're not feathering it very well.

meh, I was launching on the brand new tires I now have on front. The tires I had on last night have seen much better days, I was assuming a little burnout prior would help me out a lil and uncover some softer tread.

[roo]

I lost

Wouldn't that be easier to say?

[00dakotav8]

Lets race again this weekend.

There thats better.

[roo]

Lets race again this weekend.

There thats better.

I don't know if I can stand to hear anymore excuses why you lost

[00dakotav8]

So then I take that as a back down?

[roo]

I already beat you. I gave you your chance to bring your DRs but you didn't think you would need them. That'll teach you to think.

[00dakotav8]

That and I didnt have time to go get the one fixed. Please believe I would have if I could have. Whatever tho, If you dont want to you dont have to, i really dont care anymore lol besides as rabbid said, slowest truck in lincoln.

[roo]

We can race again. I just think you're delusional thinking you're going to make up 3 cars. It's not like I wasn't launching on the same surface as you were.

[00dakotav8]

I wouldnt doubt I could make up 3 cars with my slicks on. Lets be realistic, I probably cut about a 2.9 60 foot, at the track I was 2.2-2.3 all day. Thats more than 3 cars.

[roo]

Ok, I just needed some quote worthy material for when you lose again.

[00dakotav8]

Ok.

[clint]

I wouldnt doubt I could make up 3 cars with my slicks on. Lets be realistic, I probably cut about a 2.9 60 foot, at the track I was 2.2-2.3 all day. Thats more than 3 cars.

:bored1:

[roo]

So are we going to be racing at the track next time so you can cut your 2.2-2.3 60ft all day?

[Cobra Commander]

Lets get realistic. You bought this box set, didn't you?!

[roo]

lol

[roo]

I think he's confused because I took him out of the hole so bad that he thinks he got a bad launch when in reality he probably always launches like that. The TPI just has too much low end for him to keep up

[00dakotav8]

hahahhahaha No trust me it launches a lot harder. Idk why but now that its colder out, it feels like its leaving hella harder than the 2.3s at the track.

[roo]

It always feels faster when you're not being timed or racing someone.

[00dakotav8]

I was actually racing someone when I noticed the improvement. rsisbetter.

[roo]

there is a video of you getting owned in vids and pics

[JesterMX6]

not to fuel the fire. but thunder even stated that taylor spun much more than normally off the line.

[Johnny]

That and I didnt have time to go get the one fixed. Please believe I would have if I could have. Whatever tho, If you dont want to you dont have to, i really dont care anymore lol besides as rabbid said, slowest truck in lincoln.

when did I call it the slowest truck in lincoln?


and that is correct, your truck runs and my car does not. But my truck and bike both do.

oh that and I bought all that **** with my own money and didnt just take daddies truck when he was done with it

[JesterMX6]

^^ hey. i'm using daddy's jag ....while we try to sell it lol

[00dakotav8]

his truck is slow as ****.

K maybe you didnt say slowest truck in Lincoln but the point was pretty much made.

Daddy never used my truck idk what you are talking about, yeah he borrows it about 2 times a year, but thats it.

[roo]

not to fuel the fire. but thunder even stated that taylor spun much more than normally off the line.

that's because he was so freaked out about losing that he just mashed the gas like a noob. lol

I know what his best time is and I know what the worst time is on the mullet. If I was concerned about losing I wouldn't of had brook riding with me.

[JesterMX6]

yeah. cuz all of brooke's 120 lbs will make a difference lol

if i was concerned about losing half the time i'd hire a skinny kid (mike maybe>??) to do my racing for me lol

[roo]

yeah. cuz all of brooke's 120 lbs will make a difference lol

Cool. I'll have him ride with you this weekend when we race.

[JesterMX6]

monica's the only girl allowed in my car when i race

[roo]

In car footage is way better so tell monica she's going to have to sit this one out.

[JesterMX6]

i have a camera (remember theres a video from like 2 months ago that i have yet to post up)

but i've never really liked in car footage. i'd ratehr see footage at around the 1/8th

[JesterMX6]

plus footage is usually better from the winning car. might as well have him ride with u.

[roo]

Actually footage is better in the losing car because it's much easier to record whats ahead of you than whats behind you.

Besides, like you pointed out the added weight isn't going to make a difference anyways.

[JesterMX6]

on the street i dont think it would. although if u make him record from your hatch (via tripod..just hit record basically) you might get off the line better. have him record from the hatch, then after the launch pop it so he falls out and you'll get downforce from the open hatch, and lose the weight at the same time. plus whoever's recording at the starting line will have footage of brook rolling across the street. best video evar

[roo]

on the street i dont think

Yes, on the street the laws of physics no longer apply.

[Thunder]

the weight matters... i remember when i raced chris waaay back at a spot, and i had sam ride with me. and george you know sam prob at the time weighed 140 lbs. With him in the car, i only beat chris by 1 car. with him out, i beat chris by about 2-2.5. it does make a difference.

[JesterMX6]

on the street i dont think

Yes, on the street the laws of physics no longer apply.

wasn't my point. i'm just of the opinion that there's so many other variables that weight is usually the last thing on my mind. (at least average passenger weight that is)

[clint]

Yaah physics is stupid! :bored1:

[roo]

wasn't my point. i'm just of the opinion that there's so many other variables that weight is usually the last thing on my mind. (at least average passenger weight that is)

Yes, there are a lot of variables but if you got in a situation where it was going to be a close race you sure as hell wouldn't want the added passenger weight in your car. The added weight is going to slow your acceleration across the entire run which could throw the outcome of the race if it was close.

Watch this video and tell me weight doesn't make a difference on the street. The first run the camera man was in brooks car. The 2nd race the camera man was in my car. The 3rd race the camera man was back in brooks car.

http://share.icefireracing.com/video/aurora.sho.wmv

[JesterMX6]

true that i can understand. i guess i dont see our race being close enough to let it affect the outcome. fairly certain you win.



especially if i can't get ahold of a 5500 to 6000 rpm pill. something tells me 3000 rpm won't get me far lol

[Cobra Commander]

yeah. cuz all of brooke's 120 lbs will make a difference lol

My fat ass is creeping up on 200 lbs these days. :(

Passengers make a huge difference. I've raced cars with my Cobra, and there was about a 2 car difference when switching passengers from car to car.

For example, check out the difference it made with me and Roo:

****, nevermind. Roo already posed that video. lol

interesting, cause before you said it was your dad's truck and that you got it from him. And THATS why you couldnt do very much for mods to it cause he wont let you. Interesting how the story changes now...:rolleye:

[JesterMX6]

yeah. cuz all of brooke's 120 lbs will make a difference lol

My fat ass is creeping up on 200 lbs these days. :(

jack: fatty fatty fatty fatty fatty fatty fatty fatty

lady: what's your son doing?

perry: he's doing his fatty dance. inappopriate yes...but i'm teaching my son to be a straight shooter



back on topic. i guess my final point (as i said earlier) is i dont expect weight to be a factor in our race. i'm not expecting it to be close enough that it matters. mullet by 9

[Johnny]

yeah. cuz all of brooke's 120 lbs will make a difference lol

the **** it is

[Cobra Commander]

the **** it is

185 as of today. I weighed like 155 a year ago. lol

[Cobra Commander]

It should though, because if your modifications made your car run 14s, then you should be able to beat the mullet. I think it's best G-Tech was a 15.0?

[roo]

15.7

[Cobra Commander]

Oh, well then it will be even closer yet. lol

[moparornocar]

On 13 second cars every 100 lbs is worth about a tenth of a second at the track, so on slower cars that could really add up!

[roo]

Should be enough to get me in the 12's

[moparornocar]

Should be enough to get me in the 12's

If you cut off the fenders, hood , roof, trunk,and take out the windows, It just might make it?

[roo]

Should be enough to get me in the 12's

If you cut off the fenders, hood , roof, trunk,and take out the windows, It just might make it?

Then it won't be aerodynamic anymore. I don't think the throttle blades were opening up fully so that was holding me back from a 12 second pass.

[JesterMX6]

yeah my gtech was a 15.7

with my sputtering problem i'm usually damn even with taylor who ran a 15.2 at kearney on a hot ass day. if i can get rid of the sputter i SHOULD be able to hit around a 15 flat on a track.

of course bench racing is the only way to go!!!!!!

[00dakotav8]

interesting, cause before you said it was your dad's truck and that you got it from him. And THATS why you couldnt do very much for mods to it cause he wont let you. Interesting how the story changes now...:rolleye:

Its not his anymore. He bought it for me back in the day, and this summer I started making payments to buy it from him because he is a **** about modding it. Who the **** cares anyways? So what if I'm fortunate enough to have my parents afford a vehicle for me? At least I take car of it, unlike the kid that got a c5 vette for 16 and has yet to wash it, or what about my brothers friend who got a benz for his 16 and ended up rolling it on pinelake at 120? Do not preach to me like I'm a stupid youngin that is given everything on a silver platter.

[cole]

dowd?

[00dakotav8]

yep

[Lepa]

ur liek a stoopid youngin that gets everyting on a platinum platter

[Yngvar]

I got my dads old truck but I know its slow
