turbodave Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 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. Me, Left lane 4x4, right lane R/T .015 R/T .008 60' 2.168 60' 2.061 330' 6.067 330' 6.010 1/8 9.338 1/8 9.349 MPH 76.44 MPH 74.88 My margin of victory .0048 !!! OMG!! Yes we both have a ton of drag race experience All my practice rounds were 9.30's at 76MPH All his practice rounds were 9.30's at 74MPH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOdded Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 You were actually catching up to the F150! Very cool they let you EBers participate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slideoil Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
