SUPRA CLUB in Mobile

[ForcedTorque]

They can't accuire enough real estate to give the faster cars enough stopping distance for that extra 60 feet. They have a hard time now as it is. Somebody needs to build a 1/4 track around here, or at least a full 1/8.

Yes, REIGN, you were on my mind as I typed my last post about not needing your car to make the event this week. I know it's a long trip to make for ya without your Supra

 

[Reign_Maker]

Dude, if my car was done, I would gladly make the trip and smack around a few of those 14 second cars, lol... I mean, if their baddest dog is an 11 sec stang, I'd take some money from him, know what I mean? lol...

But yeah, as far as Mobile, alot of people dont know its 60 feet short, and they come to Holt *Emerald Coast Dragway* and they are like, In Mobile I was faster! No, in Mobile, you were shorter... What? Huh? Uh Uhnn!

Yeah, Holt has been talking for the last couple years about going full quarter! They have already bought and cleared the land, they just are working out the permits, etc... Its RIGHT on an I-10 over pass, so making an on/off ramp would be no hassle... If they made a quarter mile track, they would get SO much more business and NHRA, IHRA, NIRA type track events... We have the cars in this area to support it... And being right on I-10, cats from Mobile to Panama City Beach and all over would be able to get here quick and easy... We'll see, maybe they can do it this winter, if the beaurocrats will let them...

 

[ForcedTorque]

Not really familiar with Holt. I used to come to the Ft.Walton area evreyday, but don't remember Holt (just wasn't going there, not paying attention). Is that what used to be exit 11, between 10/Navarre and 12/Crestview-Niceville? Maybe I'm wrong on those exits a little, been 6 years.

Maybe he was just talking about the street vehicles, I can't imagine 11/sec stang being the fastest car there

 

[Reign_Maker]

Holt is just north of I-10, between P'cola and Crestview...

11sec stang is fast... I wouldnt put money on racing a full blown race car, YET...

 

[ForcedTorque]

I won't be anywhere close to 11sec, but maybe Bill in his MKIV from Mobile will. I'm betting low 12's for him tho

 

[Reign_Maker]

Well, like I've said before, the car WILL be a 9-10 second car... However, the driver may not be... lol... I dont see any reason why an 800hp MKIII cant pull low 10s... But I dunno if my balls are big enough, lol...

What are the hours at the Gulfport track on a Friday

Did you talk to the other Supra, and let him know about next week? Is he on the boards anywhere?

Maybe he was just talking about the street vehicles, I can't imagine 11/sec stang being the fastest car there

iirc- I was told they open 4pm-ish on a friday. They stay open late. (I was also told that if we start early, its like having the track to yourself.) I am gonna call today & get the official info.


The other supra was a 89+ white targa on sawblades. dude was drivin around the place too much, never even seen my carbon-copy clone. I mean- Imma honkin & even flashed the lights- dude was oblivious. I betcha he'll notice some supes this week.

11 sec stang was a street car. I didnt see any race cars do a pass. mainly cars from scrapin the coast.

lol-
my wife is pretty pissed. She thinks I wanna "raice" any old junker and blow up my 7m.

uhuh- all I wanna do is kill a stang or 2, or 3...
oh yeah- and get my baseline passes.

after bracing, then SD/maftpro... wife may wanna worry then.

theres no use worrying about my infant but bulletproof 7m on stock electronics.

If I could only get my hands on a elbow or downpipe and some SAFC-II for the weekend.
wooohoooooo-pssssssst!

went to Irvington this friday night
saw two of you. forced torque, and the black MKIII (missed his name) Couldn't find you to say hey. Next time search you down alittle harder. How were your runs?

 

[n2fishin69]

That was me in the 88 Turbo, with my wife. My 1st ever, and only run so far was Friday night. 10.47 Next time will be better for sure.
It was exciting for sure.

Where is Irvington at? I live just north of Birmingham. Is their another track here that I don't know about? I would like to come race with you guys if it's within an hour or so. Hope to meet up with some other supra owners soon...........lol

 

[wyldcdn]

glad two of you made it, next time we'll have to find each other in the pits. Theres a black sentra se-r spev V out there with AL tag. Thats another supra owner. Hopefully hes screwed together soon

 

[suprahero]

I repeat. Where is Irvington? Do they have an 1/8 or 1/4 mile track?

 

[ForcedTorque]

Irvington is just south of Mobile. It set up as an 1/8 mile track, but it is 60 feet short of that. You get a time slip that has a time you ran at the track, and a projected time for the 1/8. Ya, it sucks, but thats what we have. They can't acquire any more land to even have a safe stopping distance for the faster cars, let alone extend it to the full 1/8.

 

[ForcedTorque]

There is a Supra owner in Pensacola (on SF) that posted they wanted to meet some alabama people. I suggested we do it at the Atmore 1/8 mile track. It's about 50-60 miles from everyone in MObile and the panhandle of Florida, and about 100 for you Montgomery folks (I just rolled through Montgomery twice yesterday)

 

[ForcedTorque]

Is our Mobile club fizzling? I hope I can make it to the track Friday night. My clutch is almost broken in, and I can't wait to try it out.

 

[wyldcdn]

atmore would be nice

 

[estrellainc]

Is our Mobile club fizzling?

[b005t3d]

[ForcedTorque]
