MFBA truck shooutout

[CMNTMXR81]

Jon, Joe, Ryan and whoever else would be interested in the Chicago, Milwaukee, NW Indiana corridor, the MFBA (The F-body group I'm in) is planning on having a trucks only shootout seeing as though so many of us now also have trucks/suvs.  Chances are this would take place either at Great Lakes Dragway (just outside the Kenosha/Racine area) or at U.S. 41 down in Morroco, IN.  I think Byron (my personal favorite track is too far west and of course Rt. 66 seems to have forgotten the little guy.  So those two look to be out of the running.

 

No dates have yet been posted, but quite a few of us are working on it.

 

Who here would be interested?

Now one of the guys is wanting to bring a Bravada with a Syclone powertrain transplant.  I keep telling him "No" but he says it's coming.

 

Why bother then, we all know who will win.  The purpose of this was to take fairly evenly matched trucks and have a shootout.  Not one 12 sec truck and the rest 15-16 sec ones!   :angry:

Don't bet on it - I see some real mean ones at HRP, some get pushed off the line - can't get it up

[CMNTMXR81]

Unfortunately I've seen MPG's of it running, so I know it can get up and go!  

 

Kinda makes me wish I had thought of the idea when I had my Bravada!  

[RyanbabZ71]

if it was in indiana i might go watch.  My truck isnt a speed demon.

 

When abouts is this gonna happen?

[CMNTMXR81]

Don't worry Ryan, all of ours are.  They are all pretty much stock to a few bolt on things, Z71's, a 2wd Tahoe, some 4 cyl 2wd trucks may show up, a Durango, a Dakota, etc, etc.

 

So have no fear, you won't be slow at all.  Heck, I'll probably be the slowest since I have the most mass to move.  

 

Early May has been tossed about so far.

Yeah, thanks a lot, wait until after I put on some big tires for it.  Great Lakes Dragaway isn't too far from me.  I'd be in.  Like Ryan though, I dunno if I want to get out there and beat the snot out of my truck.  I know I'd be loosing.

 

But, I'll talk to some of my friends and see if they'd want to go, I bet the answer would be yes.

[CMNTMXR81]

Beat the snot out of it?  How?  It's only 1,320ft of full throttle!  Not much different than putting it to the boards accelerating from a stop light in a stop light grand prix.

Who told you I do that?

 

Yeah, but w/ those I know I'll win.  Now, sure I could beat Joe's blazer, but I don't know about ryan's truck.  I think he'd have a bit of an advantage on me.

 

After that should we get out there and race on foot.  Who ever makes it closes to the finish line w/o dying wins

[CMNTMXR81]

Joe said he's up for it, so you'll have at least one victory then.  

[RyanbabZ71]

If its MAY 11th im there.  No work and its the day after finals

 

Need to blow off steam hehe

 

I raced a ford ext cab V-10 today.  Blew his doors off.  Guy didnt know what hit him

[firecadet613]

Let me get this straight, your going to beat my Blazer?  With 305's that's not possible unless you've dropped the Escalade's 6.0 in your truck since I last saw it (sunday).

[CMNTMXR81]

Uh oh, do I detect a possible grudge match?  

[1LEThumper]

I would be interested since I haven't gotten a base line run off of my new truck yet.  

 

 

Any ideas on when?
