Fun race weekend

[turbodave]

 

What a great time. Went to the Turbo Buick dot Com nationals in Burlington NC this past few days. Couldn't get my Grand National there, but drove there in the MKT to watch and meet up with friends.

 

 

Amongst all the FAST turbo Buicks, they actually let us have a mini Ecoboost challenge because there were three of us there!! My MKT, and two F150's (a 4x4 and a 2wd).

 

 

My MKT ran consistent 9.30's all day

The 4x4 ran consistent 9.30's all day

The 2wd ran consistent 9.90's all day (could get decent traction).

 

 

I took the 2wd pickup out in the first round

And just barely took out the 4x4 in the second(last) round to win the challenge!!!

 

 

BTW We are all BONE STOCK!!

 

 

You long time drag racers will especially appreciate the significance of these numbers on that run.

You were actually catching up to the F150! Very cool they let you EBers participate.

WOW. I had no idea those trucks could move like that... although I guess I should have known. They can't be too much heavier than we are.

 

I saw an episode of Gears the other day (don't regularly watch the show... find it a little cheezy.) The did an exhaust install on an EB F150. Claimed it added something crazy. I think it was in the neighborhood of 50hp and 60lbft.

Not a bad road trip(for you and the old lady) from TN to GA. even if you don't run, come and watch the racing one day and sight-see the city for the weekend.
