Fun with Imports at National Trail Raceway

At about 5pm yesterday some of us decided to go to National Trail Raceway here in Columbus to see if the locals wanted to run against the diesels. Since the Rabbit's only up to about 20-25 second quarter miles, it was my turn to video everything. The best part was the annoucer going NUTS over the dually.

(The long one, includes everything) http://www.firepunk.com/videos/downl...th_imports.wmv

(Single runs with a Subaru WRX STi)

(The announcer went nuts and couldn't get over the fact that it still had a toolbox...)

"That's a Cummins diesel ... You can always tell by the black smoke."

At first it looked like the imports were playing with you guys...

Brandon, you are going to have to tell me the next time you all plan to go. I have been trying to get my friend to take the 4x4 camaro out there to mess with some people, and maybe would could bring a couple of slow Cummin's too.

Please let the rest of us know when you plan to go back to play with the rice burners. I have spent way too much money on toys for my truck just for smoking imports to not to go out and play.

This was planned about 30 minutes before we left, no time to post.

We'll be at LaRue, Ohio this Friday night (Sept 16), playing with everything from impala's to imports again. $10 for time trials that start at 6pm.

I am going to try and make it up there, I will be working up that way anyway on friday, so I think I will make it. I am trying to talk my friend in bringing the Camaro up, and I might even run the old stock 91 with 300,000 miles on it so i can have a baseline, before i start modding it. It will be slow slow slow but oh well, its still fun, its been years since I have ran anything down the Track. I am shure it will all come back to me.

Sorry 'bout that. I'm hosting in CA and they're having issues:
"Serious electricity problems in the Los Angeles area took our entire network off-line for several hours on Monday afternoon. All services are believed to be up and running at this time. If your service is not fully functional, please contact our support team so we can address any remaining problems as quickly as possible.

Power to our data center has now been restored and our network is back up. Our servers are all up and running. "

So much for the 24/7 diesel generators they advertised...

Whoever that was with the 6-speed, they were rowing through the gears pretty quick. I'm impressed!
