The 2009 East Coast F-body Nationals will be held at Island Dragway in Great Meadows, NJ on Sunday, August 9th. You don't have to wait around for the main even to get out to the track though, we will be kicking the weekend off with the traditional F-body vs. Mustang action on during Island Dragway's Friday Street Night on August 7th.
The 2009 East Coast Nats are set to feature four exciting drag racing classes, two index and two traditional brackets, as well as the great car show that we have all come to expect from the NJFBOA's Anniversary celebration.
While the action on the track and show field will be all about GM's pony car platform, everyone is welcome. As with all of our great NJFBOA events it is open to all owners, friends, and fans of the F-body platform.
i am working on getting the day off of work.. i want to go, its a fun event for sure . won runner up for best 3rd gen camaro there 2 yrs ago. great group of ppl show up for both drag racing and car show
Island Dragway is close to where I live, it's the track I go to on Fridays.
Just finished my Trans Am, it's got the potential to do low 12's high 11's pending on traction. I'd rather run my IROC, not sure if it will be done by then; we estimate the new mouse can put out an easy 550 to the wheels.
I'm sure I'll see some of you in the street bracket, hopefully I have my new tires by then and get a little better with the T5.
I was there tonight (the really loud flat black trans am), didn't actually compete. First time running the car at the track only got two runs in before I blew a gas line off the fuel pump. It really fell apart on me tonight, ring and pinion is shot so I one wheel peeled half way down the track and my clutch needs to be bled so it wouldn't go into gear. Ran a 16.4 spinning til 1/8th mile mark and a 17.1 without being able to get into 2nd and 4th gear (shifted from 1st to 3rd and 3rd to 5th).
Anybody show up? Some reason my tires didn't want to really heat up in the water box (does it fine on dry pavement 1-3 gear lol) and I didn't see them spray VHT on the track at all.
i was there for the weekend. saturday bracket racing was ok, got arrested sat night for literally nothing. the cops thought we were two other ppl that were breaking into houses. by the time sunday came we were so tired from getting home at 4 in the morning and pissed off we just said forget it. i thought there wouldnt be much since the rain. was there a good turn out? any pics?
FBody vs Mustang was pretty good. Some impressive cars showed up, fastest guy ran a 9.4 at 144 MPH in his fox... I can swear he was chevy powered though.
I blew my rear up that night lol. Fastest fbody I saw did low 11's and the fastest LS1 only did like a 12.4. Not a bad turn out, I'd say their were easily 40 mustangs and about a dozen fbodies.
I was really looking forward to going....but as always some thing gets in the way.
Any good pics or vids ?
No videos or pics from me. I got one race in before the bracket racing started, blew my posi up during the burnout and had a gas line blow off the fuel pump... spent the entire night with my old man and buddies trying to custom make a flare for the fuel line; nobody had a flaring tool
Rigged it up and got one more run in before I called it a night.
Kind of upset, didn't even get to bracket race
