It's import Vs. Domestic. You would not have pair against each other. You would likely ran against Mustang or Camaro.

 

ernie and I are going to make an exception

 

I doesn't think the track guys are gonna let you but it would be nice to see.

 

I know Jason, plus we can easily do it during test and tune.

 

man im gettin pumped, hopefully i dont break anythign this weekend

 

hey bobby, how much power are you making with your special twin setup? kevin

 

How was the tuning today?

 

Hey Joey, they've got a Hybrid Modified class that you might fit in! Here's the scoop:

Dear Bryan,

Be prepared this Sunday, November 6th, for the hair-raising, heart-stirring phenomenon that brings the 'Smack' to the Track and settles the score!

Maryland Int'l Raceway is proud to host the 10th Annual World Cup Finals this Sunday, November 6th. Be here to witness the one and only event featuring the most insane Import and Domestic Street Legal Cars battling it out on the quarter mile! Who will triumph and conquer? ...And who will leave crushed and defeated? Only time, determination and brute force will tell.

The World Cup Finals is the only event of its kind featuring Quick 16 Heads-Up Shootout classes for all makes and models, matching up the Imports and Domestics to put the rivalry to the test. Watch the insanity in Super Stock, Hybrid Modified, Street Renegade, Wild Street, and Pro Outlaw as egos and attitudes are put out on the line and the tension is tight in the air.

This event also features an extraordinary Import vs. Domestic Match Race with two of the baddest 7-second 190 MPH turbocharged cars on the planet. Terris Hicks in his Outlaw 10.5" tire turbocharged "Hurricane" Cobra Mustang has officially challenged Paul Efantis with his Modified class turbocharged "MSP/Lucas Oil" Toyota Solara! These two national competitors will devour the quarter mile with their high revving, turbocharged 7-second extreme machines. All of the drama will unfold this Sunday as these two rivals bring their pride to the line!

As an added special treat, Bob Swartz will attempt to set a new world record with the World's Fastest Jet Powered Street Luge! Watch in amazement as he pilots the Street Luge powered by a REAL Jet Engine down the MIR Strip. This guy is just plain nuts! There's no telling WHAT will happen!

In addition to the racing excitement, fans and racers will also enjoy the music stylings of the Live DJ, the endless Manufacturer and Vendor Midway, plenty of food vendors, the lavish and luxurious WCF Custom Car Show (featuring so many cars you won't know where or how to begin), the PSYCHOTIC side-by-side, Tire-Blowin', Rotor Glowin' Burnout Contest (featuring 16 CARS!), and so much more!

Gonna go out on a limb here..........Is Big Pimpin, Jason???

 

No, I'm Bryan. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys Sunday.

 

damn, ernie. three days away and no dyno numbers. you guys are cutting close.

 

No worries....

 

Last set of rules I saw for that showed imports were allowed up to 6 cylinders and two power adders but no 8 cylinders, whether they are NA or not. I wish I could find specific rules. I can't say I'd be looking forward to bringing the car and having to run against the Hurricane Cobra because I run a stock LS1 instead of a twin-turbo Grand National motor

 

hurricane was running a v 8 with a 110 mm turbo last i saw! but he supposedly was switching back to a slightly smaller turbo it should still be a wild ride

 

Look out this sounds like Deja vu.


I hope you run ok and dont blow up.



and if you do dont blame Dave

 

wtf??? don't mention that word around here

 

Alright Ernie, Bobby, and who ever else is running, Good luck we will see you at the track today.

 

Congrats to ernie and Rob, both ran good. Rob was running better but got disqualifed. Ernies car is crazy, ill tell you what, it hits boost like a rocket and is just GONE. Mad props to him for taking his **** out there against all those domestics. I would have run, but my luck i would have broke **** 2 hours away from home

 

How did Rob get d'qed?? He ran great before they even were doing elims!

Congrats Ernie, and it is nice to finally meet you.

-Justin

 

Was good to see everyone out there today. Rob went a 10.6 @ 126mph! He's got his **** togeather! Bad news is he didn't have a passenger seat so they DQ'ed him, but didn't dq me for not having a cage! Go figure. I supposed they felt sorry for me and my horrible driving skills! I had LOTS of cobwebs on my driving. First of all I spun my *** off all day and never got better than a 1.59 60' which sucks for me. My first run I short shifted 2nd gear and the car fell on its face, then I missed 4th gear! Ran a 11.1@125.
2nd run was worse! I stalled in the burnout box because they didn't spray any water down, then bogged off the line, then at the top of 3rd gear I tried speed shifting and went into reverse!!!! Not good, but got very luck and didnt damage anything.
I qualified 15th in the "quick 16" and was paired up with a 9sec. mustang.
So on to my 3rd and final run. Did a huge "Ernie T" burnout....lol...., tree'ed the mustang, but still spun my *** off with a 1.59 60' and short shifted 2nd gear again, but hit all the other gears ok. Ended up with a 10.77 @133mph, which is my best et by ..01 and best mph by 5mph. It would have probably hit 138-140mph had I not fell out of boost totally in 2nd gear. So I'd say it has a 10.40 in it, maybe better....time will tell. I have to get my suspension dialed in more, get my trailing arms and toe links on and get some new slicks and skinnies up front. Then she'll hook!
Huge props to Ray for getting my car done in time. We were at his shop till 12am Friday night on the dyno. He did a fantastic job with everything! Anyone needing anything done from mild to wild, go to PFS.

 

I couldnt make it down.

The car is acting up, and the ****** that was covering my shift at work bailed on me

so i chose to keep my job over drag racing

congrats ernie, we shall have a duel soon enough

 

I was wondering why nobody replied to my email about getting an alignment done


Congrats on the times

 

where are the vids.....i took a vid of your 2nd run but on my camera. it's not clear. kvn

 

Well don't post that run...It was probably my worst ever! The 3rd run wasn't too terrible, but still has a ton of room for improvement.

 

LOL it was pretty bad..but something i noticed ernie, when you launched, your car ALWAYS wanted to go to the left off the line, dont know if something was up, or if it was just you. But it wasnt bad, the car is good, sounds good. Btw did the clutch slip on the last run when you had it at 30psi?
