TGP vs TA movies and some ricer

[sleeperred90tgp]

First time with the TA at the strip. TGP won both rounds, TA lost 3rd gear on that run. :icon_sad:

Daughter inlaw took the movies after she discovered that the camera would take movies. If she hadn't taken all the staging she could have got the whole run. Oh well live and learn. :laugh

Sweet!

[kuntzie]

what were your times... and damn u get like no wheel spin at all

[Larry M]

Great reaction time against the TransAm, and a great holeshot.  No wheelspin (or little) is the key to getting away in traffic, or at the drag strip.

The stock TGP is ideal because if properly jacked up at the line, virtually no wheelspin is evident.

Avoiding all wheelspin with a hotter chip in is difficult and if a T/A is sitting next to you at a light, zero wheelspin may be impossible.  LOL

You get my nomimation for an Local Oscar for your TGP at the Drag Races clips.  Thank the photographer as well.  You're right that if she times it a little better, she may get lane light coming on at end of run(s).

I have the first clip bookmarked, to watch over and over. It looks just like me out there!  ; )

Great job, great car.  Looked super!  Yay.  : )

^ note that Jud has the fastest tgp.... not by much though.  :icon_wink:

his car is extremely far from stock

Jud's engine bay

[Larry M]

I sure didn't mean to imply that his car is stock.

His GTP obviously runs like a raped ape!

Thanks for the photo, kuntzie.  : )

But how does Jud keep varmints out of the turbo?  LOL

Heck Larry the little varmits just get sliced and diced and pass on through. Now in all fairness the big ones do cause a slight hickup. :laugh:

When they get up to 3 1/2 or 4" I do put the little cover on.

No the little squrils around here don't bother me it's these MOFO"S that give me a bad time. :laugh:


Had 3 of them in about 6 months that ravaged my garage. Made the biggest frigging mess i've ever seen. These guys were extremly upset. Had to feed them in the house until I captured these varmits.
