This event was supposed to be this weekend, well, the Dyno event did take place Saturday, but a harsh storm came through and canceled the track day at Alabama International Dragway. The new date for the event is May 17th! I am posting this up now to go ahead and get the word out! I would love for some nice cars to show up out here and really show off what the Honda game is up to now a days, as not many people in Alabama realize it.


Again! The new date is May 17th the track opens at 1pm.

Day two: 1/4 drag race

The V8 guys around here never stop talking about beating up on the imports, and so far they have won the Dyno day competition by 411whp.

Come on out and show these guys whats up!

 

hah, easy for them to be ignorant in Alabama where theres hardly any imports. Tell the muscle heads to come down to south florida and act like that

 

I would so bring my civic that has tag and insurance and runs easy 10's, but i WILL NOT drive it to the track or take it on some silly cruise to prove something that is easy to assume anyways.

 

Uhh....just take it out of/off the trailer a few miles away lol

 

i thought about that, but honestly its just silly...you still have to go on the cruise(the last time i read about this event). lol

 

No cruise. Just show up. park your trailer at the gas station and drive in. Atleast show up for the test and tune Matt, I really wana see the car with the new setup!

 

that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard off! only in alabama!

 

Of course Danny! you know how these guys are!!!

 

LOL im glad im not the only one. Anyways, we'll see when it comes up.

 

people were begging me to come, but i was in west palm beach. i may be in town for the next one, but i am not doing that silly drive in crap!

 

Did you get your breaking up issues sorted out?

 

I'm going to try to make this event. Steele isn't a very long drive for me.

 

Just outta curiosty, why cant a RWD car run a 26x10x16???

 

This sounds like a great event....this event should be held twice a year....could get bigger n bigger!

Working on it.

 

come work on mine, i dropped a valve at 11K rpms................................

fortunately, it jammed all the valves back up in the head, just all of them in 2 holes, hahaha

 

Id really like to see some Honda's make a good appearance guys! Even if you trailer it over, who cares!!!

 

Mike, sorry to hear about that! What were you doing when it happened?

 

yeah ill prolly show up but it will be on a trailor for sure.

 

\
yeah that was fortunate!

who "won" the dyno shootout.

 

domestics, by 411 whp..

i think the highest number was like 630whp.....

highest honda was 409whp...

 

oh well.

 

i could be wrong but i think i got the top import spot with 560whp which was pretty crappy..

why doesnt anyone want to drive there cars in? we used to have flashlight drags around here. you had to drive the car in and a lot of the v8 guys parked at gas stations and drove the car a mile or so to the track.

If you have it plated and registered drive it
