Sean, get your head out of your a$$. Since every gas station in Houston sells 93, why do you think I'd be asking if Conoco does?
There are a few gas stations across the country that sell 100. IIRC Conoco and Sunoco. I have never found any...was hoping this was one of those special stations.

Chris, unfortunately the Conoco only has 93, I would love to find one that carries 100 unleaded though!

Ben, like always, Sean will either find an excuse as to why he didn't bring the 2, make it so that he can't go (by blaming the boss lady) or simply committ to coming and not show.

Chris,

I would LOVE to find a Conoco that sells 100...I think they only exist in a fantasy world...or the peoples Republic of California where they charge $8 a gallon for it.

Peter, Peter, peter....I have run your event, oh, about a dozen times now..please you know I don't duck anyone.

However I will give you free publicity via via posting (ttt).

Are you going to make the Aug 2 or 10 GTG?

Found it. It's Sunoco, not Conoco, and your assumption is correct...none in TX.

We should get some investors and open one here!

Sean,
I knew that the Aug GTG is only for exotics cars only. And i have to admit that the OLD TOYOTA is not an exotics....However the last time i remembered my old TOYOTA spanked all the exotic cars at the Mile......so it not an EXOTICS but its above Exotics "Its only good for spanking EXOTICs"
See you guys tonight!



[quote=Dr_jitsu;1967697]Peter, you can run me at the Aug. 2nd or 10th GTG...oh wait, they are for exotics. I will ask to see if they can make an exception and let one Toyota

Tommy,

I am going to start having you do all my Porsche maintenance work. Do you have the manual for the CTT, or just 996's?

I just got charged close to $900 on my 40K maintenance service and I have heard that $700 is the good price.

Dang, all these no shows......it makes it difficult to continue to do these events when people don't show up. I think this was the LAST 60-130 event I'm going to put on as it's just not worth the time/effort for only 13 cars to run. I will however work with the local scene to possibly do a joint drag racing/60-130 event in the future. I will keep you all updated.

In any event, thanks sooooooo much to those that came and actually ran their cars. The times have yet to be verified and I am leaving town until Tuesday. I will do my best to have them verified and posted by mid week. Until then, here are the preliminary times:

Steven Metheny - 98 TA - 7.9
Jason Thornhill - 06 C6 (470 HP) - 4.9 60-100, no 60-130 run recorded
Mark Miller - 03 C5 - 8.4
Steve Ott - 996 Ruf RTurbo - 8.7
Shane Revels - 06 Z06 built motor and NOS - 7.3
Todd Nall - 04 996 Turbo stock - 12.8
Matt Brooks - 02 Pontiac TA - 6.6 60-100, no 60-130 run recorded
Tag Marlow - 94 Supra Single Turbo all boost - 4.6
Jon Addison - 00 C5 - 7.9
Owen Priest - 01 Formula Built Motor and NOS - 5.5
Gary Ducelr (sp?) - 01 C5 - 10.7
Stephane Courcele - Supra - no recorded runs
Frank Redix - 05 C5 - 8.8

I am going strictly off tech cards here so please be patient as I may have a better time that is saved to the computer but not written on tech cards. Check this thread mid week for your graphs!

Thanks again to all that showed tonight!
Peter

This is a question for Ben,

What package is the Ruf RTurbo? is it the 520 or the RT 12? I thought it was the RT12. However an 8.6 is not much faster than a chipped K 16 set up w/ exhuast.

The hype on the RT 12 was that they are the equal of the GT 700 package w/ the Porsche factory warranty.

Steven Matheny 7.93


Steve Ott RTurbo 8.65


Owen Priest 5.52


Matt Brooks 60 to 100 was 6.20, didn't hit 130
