Ratt I attempts to make the Pinks field !

[Ratt Fink]

Had a real good time at teh Pinks All Out Race at Houston Raceway Park on the 17th. The event went fairly smoothly, and was all done by about 1015 that night.
Ratt I stretched the blower belt during the 1st burnout, and wound up running a sub-par 11.05, with about 17 psi boost max !! The driver continued the burnout too long and when the tires bit, it pulled the engine down quickly and likely damaged the belt... it jumped off just a tad before the finish line as the boost fell out and teh alt light came on. D'oh.
Anyway, on her 2nd qualifying pass, she threw down a perfect 10.000... if not for the poor 1st pass, I mighta got a chance to race teh auto cars with the ole 6 spd !! Oh, well, that is racing ! Here is a link to the 2nd pass vid, against a mean Lightning:

LOL ! You can see that I gave the L about .3 at the line, and didn't get around him until just past the 1/8th mile ! I knew it would roll, but wasn't sure just how well !

A little different perspective, because they did not allow any video from the ground around the track. The L vid was taken from inside one of those suites that belongs to people I know.

Thanks, big Lou !
Maybe you can borrow the "Blue Flame" and we could have an ole man's race sometime ?!

[Ratt Fink]

Two guys that were out there with us made the final 16, but I shouldn't put up any vids, because it might lead to there footage being dropped from the show. Maybe later !!

awesome vids and runs

nice ratt daddy

what time avg/frame did they take for the top 16?

10.0 to 10.12, from what I can tell. The two Stangs I know were right at 10.09 and 10.11 avg, with bests of 10.03 and 10.08. I know of an LS1 that was right at 10.06.

The LS1 is driven by a blonde-headed girl who is not too hard to look at, and I was just betting that the field would somehow wind up including that car, and I just needed to do some 10.0x passes. Not kidding, here she is (on another day):
