My reactions are terrible as you can see but the power in the Titan still pulled off the wins.
silverx 11-18-2004, 11:47 PM Wow!! I knew you could do it!!
Way to go..
I'm all smiles baby!! :D :D :D
I had a great time. You never seen so many rednecks upset. LOL. I had people coming over asking me what was in it and was it modded. How did you beat a Hemi. It was really really fun. I cant wait till next year now. I cant believe I never did this before. I will really work on my launch next year. What I got a kick out of was at the end of the race with the civic you hear some people in the back go OHH when the time posts. LOL

THere's a website, I'll find for you, that you can work on your reaction time.....christmas tree and everything, pretty cool.
firecracker 11-19-2004, 12:00 AM Nissan needs to run the one with the hemi as an advertisement
silverx 11-19-2004, 01:16 AM I've got A new name for you M4ck..
HEMI-ETR ....
Try that one on for size!!!!
Did his face look like this when he lost 8O
JetTech 11-19-2004, 06:01 AM that is too cool m4ck!! One of these days I need to come up there and join you in the hemi thrashing!!
Definately Dale I believe they open back up in Feb. I just did make the last night. Wish I had gone before now. I fell in love with it. Now all I'm thinking about is how can I make it quicker.
JetTech 11-19-2004, 06:12 AM was that a 2WD hemi?
JetTech 11-19-2004, 08:09 AM did he have any noticeable mods like exhaust or was it 100% stock?
BiXLL 11-19-2004, 08:57 AM I can't tell by the tape, what kind of distance did you have on him? Was he pullin on you at the end? I think the Titan would have a big advantage on the 1/8 mile run with the power/torque curve we have.
Caltitan 11-19-2004, 10:03 AM Looked like a lot of fun! You definitely finished well. I agree with you about your start reaction time needing pratice. That Civic got a big jump on you but you showed him. I love how the Titans speed is incognito. So what were you doing to launch off the line, what RPMs, did you spin the tires?

At the end I was about 3/4 truck length ahead of him. I was pulling away faster at the end though. Maybe it has to do with the exhaust and intake mods I have. I feel like my top end is better than it used to be before mods. I think with another 1/8 mile I would have had him by 1 1/2 truck lengths. Just a guess though.
So what were you doing to launch off the line, what RPMs, did you spin the tires?.
I did not spin I was trying to be careful of that. I made a concious effort to push the peddle about 3/4 off the line then FLOOR IT. Launched at 1500 rpm.

Careful there big buddie, your really starting to sound like a motor head!
Finnattic 11-19-2004, 10:22 PM One more for the good guys...Congats.
I guess the Volant sucked all their air away as you went down the track :lol:
QShip 11-20-2004, 12:03 AM Nice job!!
MrsM4ck 11-20-2004, 05:37 AM Way to go, Baby!! Wish I could've been there :D I have a feeling I know where we will be spending our Thursday nights come next season!!
By the way, do yall hear the little girl in the background?? That would be the world's most GORGEOUS little girl, my niece, Kayla :D (Okay, I'm a bit prejudiced :) ) She's only 8-years-old, and normally hates the drag strip because it's loud, but when she saw Uncle Josh was going, she flipped out when her Dad left her at home, so his girlfriend had to bring her, LOL :lol: That's her in the background hollerin', "That's my Uncle Josh!! Go Josh, Go!!" She is so cute!! Lemme show her to ya... Gotta show off the kiddos, ya know!! She is spending the weekend at my parents, and called tonight and wanted to make SURE Uncle Josh was coming over with me tomorrow. She wants to ride in his truck, HA!! :) He'll be eatin' that up... He loves her to pieces. Anyways, here she is!! Actually, it's my niece AND nephew Grayson, with me in the middle. (Try not to let the middle person hurt your eyes 8O !!) The quality of the picture is kinda icky, because it's a picture of a picture. We have GOT to get a scanner!!

Aight watch it now that one is mine and has been since I was in the 6th grade. That makes it about 17 yrs. You can just forget about that southern bell. LOL
MrsM4ck 11-20-2004, 02:19 PM scr38, you make me blush, you sweet thing :oops: :oops: :oops: !! I just rolled out of bed and look like dirt, so you wouldn't think so right now, Ha :lol: !!
As for you, Hubby, this Southern Belle could kiss off your face for being so sweet. Ahhhhhhhh...love, sweet love :D Mush, mush. Whaddya-gonna-do-aboud-it though, I'm a hopeless mush, Heehee :lol:
Thanks for the compliments on the kiddos too!! I happen to think they are just about the cutest kids I've ever laid eyes on :) Except my other nephew, Logan, of course!! Can't leave him out!! I don't have a picture of him on here, but he's a real ham, and so sweet :D
BiXLL 11-20-2004, 02:21 PM All right, QUIT IT!!!! I am getting a warm and fuzzy feeling all over! I hate warm and fuzzy! :evil:
scr38 11-20-2004, 04:53 PM Ok, M4ck, nothing to worry about. I have been married for 45 years, and I'm sure not looking to change! But what I said is true! And I know you won't dispute that. (If you know what's good for you)
KYFHO 11-20-2004, 05:20 PM The best part is the very end of the Hemi video. If you listen close you hear a guy say "Well would you look at that!" Hilarious. I knew you would beat him before you raced him. Great job at representin!!
Some die hard GM, Dodge, Ford fans will just never learn. Pardon my French, but I'm glad you beat his ***! It seems to bring people back down do earth if you know what I mean. :D
Finnattic 11-20-2004, 08:47 PM All right, QUIT IT!!!! I am getting a warm and fuzzy feeling all over! I hate warm and fuzzy! :evil: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Titan_Fan 11-27-2004, 09:51 PM Just showed my cuz the Hemi video and he is in disbeleif. He is a dodge hemi owner and ive been challenging him for months. Now he is even more scared of the TITAN...GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!! :D
DeesT 11-27-2004, 10:08 PM Good job Josh,I told my partner at work about it, but he still doesnt believe it. Might put the clip on a cd and show him :wink: but he still probably wouldnt believe it :roll: he says that it wasnt a true hemi and the Titan was modded :roll: Why do I get stuck with all the smartass rookies :roll: :roll: :roll:
LoL guys. Next season I will get much better video ok. This was a day before decision. I was lucky to even get that video. I will make sure to get some good angles next time. There are the time slips though. I have seen other Titan owners with better times than mine so its not like I have a super special truck or something. Just an average Titan. Thank goodness though the average Titan can still pound a Hemi in the dirt.

"This was a day before decision" is what makes this so sweet... It's not like you prepared and practiced for this. The fact you beat him you first try probably isn't a fluke. I love the way your tore the little Civic a new one even with a bad start.
