    More racing video!!

    Click on the links below for more comet racing video (not my car. I wish!). I am hosting these videos until stefan comes up with a solution to our video needs!! :) Stefan, would it be possible to have a video link on the main page (where you can view the mav pictures) for members cars. I know this takes up a lot of hd space and bandwidth so I dont know if you will be able to do this. I just thought it would be a nice feature (and probably one of the most popular). Let me know if I can help out in any way. In the meantime, here are a couple of videos sent to me. I will be forwarding them to stefan as soon as I know where to send them.

    yep, it sucks.....no matter how fast you are there is always someone that's faster.......sometimes they're chebbies:mad: I like your car though, definitely a good looking Maverick!!!!

    You'll notice that on the 6.34 pass I had a slight problem with the transbrake, jumped the start and the guy in the other lane disqualified with a red light. Those guys in the Real Street class are extremely fast....he went a 5.74 I think on that pass. The fastest pass in that class is a 5.54 on stock suspension.

    ONLY THE TRUTH.....

    I know bro..... I'ts just like the old saying
    "you think your tough... but there is always some one tougher.." lol...

    thats ok though you looked good doing it....

    Let me ask ya though... in that class your talking about.

    If I was to make my maverick a full frame,,, would it still qualify
    for that class......
    Even with it tubbed? just a thought of mine... I was wondering...

    I'm going to do some radical changes to my machine ..... Going to start on it actually in 2 weeks... I have already but nothing major as of yet.... Still been working Alot a OVER TIME>>>
    if ya know what I'm saying... lol...

    Later :::Ron:::

    Hey Ron.........

    I am almost positive that ANY heads-up street car racing sanctioned event that would even ALLOW a tubbed car(if there is any) to race would be in a "outlaw street" or something like that and them cars a very fast!
    I think the class here at the valley that allows unlimited tire size are running in the mid 4 second range at a minimum weight of around 2800 without any power adders............thats fast!

    yeah, the guys in outlaw 10.5 are running in the 4.70's on a 10.5W slick....I think it actually measures like 11.5" contact patch.....
