    Roll Call Florida V-10 Nationals

    I'll be making the long trip from Orlando. Also, who is coming to Orlando for the dyno day and who needs a hotel? I could arrange something that we can all be together, also my house is about 15 minutes from Macedo's shop, I can fit about 15 + cars in my driveway, so if anyone arriving...

    12 MPG at 135 mph???

    This is our busy time of year, hop on a plane and head down for the V-10 nationals on Feb 6-8th at Bradenton, fly into Orlando or Tampa. I'm sure you will get plenty of rides in Vipers and maybe someone nice will even let you drive theirs. :cool:

    Saturday was our first Central Florida VCA meeting, we had it at the Daytona International Speedway (ain't living in Florida great!!) We took two parade laps around the speedway and then lunch in a suite in the Nextel tower, while watching the likes of Jeff Gordan, Dale Earnhart Jr, and other...

    V10 Nationals: Need A Bit Of Help From Fellow Drag Racers Please

    Since the VCA is a sponsor of the race, possibly they could use their vast influence and arrange a deal with one of the car carriers as they did for VOI7. Granted one race may not be that tempting, but if one trucking company got all 6 races for the year it might be worth it. I know I would...

    We fried some Rice last night

    Best I had that night was a 12.55 at about 113 mph, not bad for a little chevy on drag radials, but I miss my Viper I hoped to have it back by Thursday.

    Support Group Needed

    I have your solution. Snowbirds you can't through a rock down here in Florida without hitting one, they are everywhere. How about SnowVipers. We'll start a winter camp program, we could rent a large secured wharehouse in Orlando ( one of the least expensive airports to fly in or out of in the...

    We fried some Rice last night

    Last night a handful of VCA members were out at the Bradenton Dragway. We finally got Larry Macedo to race one of his clients cars (which he usually won't do), Vern's magazine show car. A Honda race car, weighing some 1600 lbs wanted a shot at the Mean GTS. Larry took an easy pass in the GTS...

    765rwhp and 823rwtq On 93 Pump Gas

    Congratulations Bill and Larry. This car will be the ultimate sleeper. I heard it run many times while visiting the Macedo Spa for Vipers, I think it might be quieter and idle better than a stock Viper, that is until you get on the boost. On the dyno, with Slim Cudaman sitting in the trunk...

    1/2 Ton tow vehicle-Ram-f150-Titan

    I tow my viper on an open trailer with a Ford/Harley F150 supercrew. It has the space of a large sedan inside, a real back seat for the kids. The supercharged 5.4 liter makes more than 400 hp and almost 500 ftlbs torque, with a little tunning from Macedo. 6000 + pounds and it runs high 13s at...

    V-10 Nationals 2004 under the Florida Sun

    As Mr. Cudaman pointed out the beautiful women are abound, many wearing strings for bikinis, some beaches they don't wear anything at all. The weather should be good, Feb is usually one of dryer months with temps usually 40-50 f at night and 65-75 f in the days. For the hardcore racers, Feb is...

    Macedo tuned stock 99 GTS runs 11.2

    Not impressed, put slicks and skinnes on your car and you may run an 11.6 - 11.7. Now 12.2 for a 97 GTS, that is what is un-impressive, most good divers can pilot a 97 on street tires into the high 11s. Running low 11s on a Viper motor with stock internals is not as easy as you think, even...

    Macedo tuned stock 99 GTS runs 11.2

    Varanus, it is a stock engine with nothing but bolt ons and tunning, no head work, cam, power adders etc. Gary, the driver only made 3 passes before being shut down by tech, I think if he could have made 3 or 4 more passes he would have been in the 11.1s range, plus this was his first time on...

    Macedo tuned stock 99 GTS runs 11.2

    Three or four Vipers were out at Orlando Speed World tonight low 60 F. Macedo did his magic again. A stock engine 99 GTS owned by Bow Tew went 11.28 @ 120.28 mph. 60 ft was 1.578, 1/8 was an incredible 7.24 @ 96.57. The car was driven by Gary Soltys (sp) who showed his impressive driving...

    Orlando Speedworld Drag results

    Maybe I'll open an office in Indiana for the summers, so I can do the $20 racing with 20 other cars. usually Orlando speed world has 300 plus cars on Test and tune nights, so that translates into 1-3 runs for 4-5 hours wait time.

    Orlando Speedworld Drag results

    Some of us Central Florida Viper's rented the track today in Orlando. Jason who organized the day went an impressive 11.53 in a basically stock 97 GTS with skinnes and slicks. Tom from BTR made two 9 second passes. I was able to squeeze out an 11.15, we all did well for an 85 degree day...
