I joined up with a local car/racing forum and this past weekend a bunch of the members chipped in and rented a local drag strip for the day for just forum members to race & watch. It was incredibly fun -- hanging out with a bunch of car guys, no crowds, a beautiful sunny day and lots of very fast cars.

Couldn't run the GTO because they were only accepting slicks or drag radials, but maybe next time - they're planning for another one in the fall.

Anyway, quite a few cars in the 12's & 11's, a good handful in the 10's, a couple running consistent 9's and two running mid 8's! Holy crap some of the cars were amazing!
Here's a link to a bunch of photos taken by one of the members

Most amazing of all is that of the three forum sponsors, local parts suppliers,etc, that brought cars they were still NOT the fastest cars there. Nice to see some of their customers run 'em heads up.

Lots of cool pictures in there, just wanted to share cheers
