Gulfport Dragway

10-18-2001, 01:11 PM

I finally made it over to Gulfport last night. Its a pretty nice track, met alot of good people and made a few good runs with my black L.Temp dropped down to the mid 50's so quiet a few were having problems Hooking. My first run was my best, I tried to stay out of the water and did a real short burnout in the right lane. I did a quick hope and then staged.
r/t .663
60' 1.940
1/4 13.127
mph 104.89
I was very happy with that, I ran two more passes with a 13.140 @ 104.89mph and 13.146 @ 105.14mph.I be back again.

HEY....great to see you on the board! I tried to find you last night after qualifying but I think you left....but it seems you've found the club!!! I'll be looking for you at the track....mines the red 93 with cowl hood...running much slower than you...lol!

That truck of yours RUNS!! I watched your 13.14 pass the truck looked really good on the launch! The guy in the red 99 spun to around 1/2 track and ran a 16.xx. YIKES... I'll be looking for you out there!

Thanks, yea I had to leave kinda early only got three runs in, but I'll be back. Maybe I can keep up with whats going on now that I found club. I had never been over to the track there and didn't even know where it was. I think this is going to be alright.

Hey, I saw a silver and a red L at the gulfport track wed night but I didn't get to see there times, does anyone know how they did? It was kinda tricky getting it to hook with the track being so cold. I put my hitch and spare back on my truck just for the cooler air and it paid off.

Where Y'at Hooters, Man you just missed the Ford vs chevy Race in Gulfport and it was Killer. Ax Mattman, he was there. The FPA guys(we put on Ford/chevy) are going to be back at Gulfport Dec. 2nd. So there should be a few L's out there.
Hope to see ya out there. Later on.

I think the red 99 went 13.8 or so, and the silver one 13.5. Did you see that $120,000 BMW Z8 run!! It went 13.9/14.0...that guy is NUTS!

Your truck is definitely the fastest Lightning out there...G2 wise, I haven't seen any G1 trucks (besides me) running yet.

The Z8 was pulling in as I stepped up to race and I never saw him again. That thing must have been brand new. I'll be back and next time I wont be in a hurry to leave. Can't wait til the Dec meet. I'm just glad to find some fine folks to hang out with. Thanks eveybody. OH yea I hear there building us a new Hooters in the gulfport area, sounds like a good place for us to meet and get some great pic's with our trucks and the Hooters girls, maybe even a Happy Meal LOL
