Our Big Bend Open Road Race experience

[openroadracer]

Looked and sounded good boost addict had a majorly flapping plastic skidplate. We would have been at the park but we were all pretty much lit before hand so we just stayed at the camper and proceeded to drink even more.

The gt40 in the unlimited class was amazing the sound generated by that car coming towards us was purely awesome.

I was looking for y'all at the car show before the race but I didn't see anyone standing around the car so figured you were on walk about checking out the rest of the cars.

There was a few cars that were blowing some oil smoke out the back mostly that cuda and the gray/silver corrvette that had the massive vented hood in black.

Most likely we will be participating in the event next year we made the trip to volunteer and learn as much we can about it.

damn man, that sux. we were at the car show but we don't hang out at the car. we usually walk around and talk to the people we know out there.

if i had known or remembered (if i did know) that you would be working a gate, i would have PM'd my cell number to you.

and i agree, Teiman's GT40 sounds fucking awesome. when he takes off, you can still hear him after he vanishes out of sight.

Thank you for being there. We could not do this event with out the support of people like you working the gates. I hope we put on a great show for ya!!

It's no big deal we had a good time I admit I was rather bummed the covair and polara didn't get to finish there runs really wanted to see that.

i'd really like to go out and just check out one of these things.

maybe once we build my brother's 350Z i can persuade him to let me race it.

I was there if you saw the blue van with the camper and tent at gate 28 that was our group.

It was an awesome event! That's the most fun I've had in a motor vehicle....well, almost. Lol

It was great fun hanging with you guys. It was quite obvious who the life of the party is at that event! Awesome on the times. You would have probably placed for sure.

As for AJ and I, we really didn't care how we did it was all for fun. We will come back next year with some better instrumentation and try a little harder to hit our target speed. We averaged right on 125 mph according to our gps but not sure how we placed.

We will move up to 145 next year. It was almost impossible to stay below the 140mph tech speed in the supra. The car just begs to be driven 160-170.

So what do you guys think about a road trip to Nebraska in August? Lol that event sounds challenging!

yeah, it was great meeting you too. we like to have a good time out there for sure.

i think you finished 4th or 5th in the 125 class.

there's no way we are running the Nebraska race. that thing is a wreck waiting to happen!!

man, 145 would be awesome to run for sure. we are bumping up to 115 or 120.

So did you guys win?

no, we finished 22nd out of the 39 in our class. we should dominate the 115 class next year though.

VERY cool! I really need to make the trip, soon. Sounds like you did a helluva job with the dead-reckoning on the last leg.

yeah, it was a battle on the return leg. dave drove his ass off but i can't wait to see the speed traps and see what our speeds were. i bet they look like a rollercoaster.

that looks like it would be cool as hell to do

it is. it's fucking awesome.

How much is the 85 gt?

i believe he wants 9,900.00 for it. it is piece or art, underhood, under the car and the most incredible fox body i have ever seen. he made the hood mods himself.

he spent over 13K on the driveline last year. he had it at the texas mile this year too.
