[79CamaroDiva]

I have a camera you can shoot with. Let me know if you're gonna be there.

[j0n]

hrm i just might show up...when you plan on being there?

[79CamaroDiva]

I'll be there all day. Might even be there before gates open. Just wondering, are you the same jon that picked up a cam from Mike a few weeks ago? If so, I met you then... if not, well, i guess not.

hahaha, what DONT i do there?

I'm the fill in for whoever decides not to show up to work. I can do every job on the premises, only thing I cant do is be an EMT, but I'm only 30 class hours away from that too. Typically when I'm not racing (or before I do) I'll open up one of the gates. I also can work either end of the staging lanes, the tower, the starting line (though I havent done it, not much to it), time slips, snack stand, gas trailer, and if I had any desire to, I could probably be a tech inspector. I'm also the webmaster of the site and will probably take over the track one day. I'm already offered the manager position once I finish school... if i ever finish school.

[12secondv6]

Bad ass!

How long ya been there?

[misterjuice]

Diva, go up to Mike next time you see him..............slap him in the back of the head and say "yo name is Toby" hahahaha he'll know what it means.

[j0n]

:stupid: :lol:

[79CamaroDiva]

Well.... I was born in '83, so that would make uhh... 22 years?

:lol: the middle-end of this post should explain it to you just fine http://www.njfboa.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3536

mrjuice, ill see him tomorrow.. maybe ill try that. :lol:

[12secondv6]

:shock: Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[79CamaroDiva]

haha, yeah, its pretty cool. Free racing is always a good thing ;) However, at any given moment I can be called to work, so theres a few drawbacks... many more positives though!

[12secondv6]

What kinda toys do you have?

I read somewhere you went 7's in some car.

Gotta be bad ass!

that was the dragster

[12secondv6]

I thought so...... DAMN!

[79CamaroDiva]

Here's an 8.02 run from atco. Best run there was 7.970, I hit 8.03 i believe at Island about 2 weeks ago, good air and i might be in the 7s here too.

http://euphrates.wpunj.edu/students/demarckym/atcoeaster2005.mov

then i have the car my screen name implies, it should run mid 12s after we're done with the camswap.

Tomorrow I'll be working on indexing the dragster to 8.900, gonna seem incredibly slow :( If i get it early on in the day, I'll make a few full runs after.

[12secondv6]

Dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyum!

And...... 8.900 feeling slow?!?!??! I wish I could say that! ;)

[j0n]

indexing to 8.900...whaz dat mean?

[79CamaroDiva]

Well.. it might not seem slow at the top end, my mph should stay around the same (164-165) but right off the line we're throttle stopping it, so it'll go Launch-Coast-Launch again, hopefully the delay box will do its thing and not throw too many curve balls my way. Also gonna be my first time hitting a 4-tenths pro tree (the tree used friday nights is 5-tenths pro, Saturday and Sunday is 5-tenths full) Hopefully ill get some good packages together and can make full runs the rest of the day. We're trying to index the car so I can go super comp racing at a few divisionals and our national open.

[79CamaroDiva]

indexing to 8.900...whaz dat mean?

Some of the professional classes at National and Divisional events are based off of an 'index' which is essentially like a heads up race with dial-ins, if that makes sense. Everybody is automatically dialed in on the index for the class, Super Comp is 8.90, Super Gas is 9.90.

Essentially what you do is take a faster car, put a throttle stop in it (all electronic, based on time.. if you come tomorrow ill show you) and adjust the throttle stop until you run exactly on the index. The idea is that in a race, the driver who has the best package (based on how far off 8.900 and a perfect reaction time they are) wins. Whats real tough about these classes is that I say 8.900 because you want it perfect down to the thousandths. Its not uncommon to lose by running 8.903 to a 8.902 or so. Like i said, its also based on reaction time, so if I run 8.900, the other person runs 8.908, and say my r/t is .011 to their .002, I lose.

[12secondv6]

That's just wild!

Never knew the extent of that indexing stuff. Thanks!

[stadtnw]

Hey diva I'm going to be by myself. Would it be ok if I left some tools and my nitrous bottles were you park you car. I don't want that stuff in my car when I'm racing. Also do you sell 100octane gas.Thanks
Joe

Hey jon let me know if your going for sure I will bring my camara. thanks

[79CamaroDiva]

Yeah, thats no problem at all, i'll save the spot to the left of my trailer for you. When you come in the pits, about 1/2 way down on the right theres a white trailer, a black trailer, and a white trailer. The black one in the middle will probably have a red 67 rs/ss parked in front of it still. Mine is the white trailer on the left of the black one.

The trailer has 104 unleaded gas, though I'm not sure of the price any more. (It WAS 5.50, then went up to 5.75 last season, not sure if it went up again since the rest of gas has skyrocketted)

EDIT: If you want, call my cell when you get there 908 310 3744, if i dont answer I probably couldnt hear it and i'll call you back.
