blk93,
If there isn't many lightnings at this event, get some of those guys to join this site. That way we can set up a track day at a more central location for all of us to meet.
most of these guys dont really frequent the internet much. they tend to call us that do "internet racers". they dont really see many lighntings in this neck of the woods so they dont have much respect for them. if it isnt a sb chevy they really dont have much respect for it anyway. every now and then one may come through that could ring their bell but they see it as a one time fluke. almost all of these trucks are daily drivers. the one that claims to run 7.6 isnt from around my way it's just a truck that someone claims they know of and has invited the driver to come and run. i really don't see any others getting in the 7's to be honest. but my buddy (89 short-bed 383 stroker) does run in the 8.20 range and im thinking he will probably be the second fastest to come out. like i said the rest are untested, driver's and the trucks. i am slated to race another guy(untested) 383 short-bed with my friends 93 lighntning. he has never been on the strip so my intentions are to leave him standing still when the tree comes down and hope my low 9.0's to high 8.9's can hold him off. i did it last year against a 2002 trans-am so we will see.
