[Tsar]

[enRo]

Track sucked bigtime tonight. Must've been too hot. Cant hook the car correctly, spinning 60' all night, but ran exactly 10 times. Only best tonight was 13.558 @ 103.8

[chrisfrom nj]

your car halled ass

[enRo]

your car halled ass

First couple runs were great. Some people had their ups and downs with the track. Barb broke into 13's while Alex stayed in the 14's ... you catch the drift ... my first run was with an LS2 GTO that was bolt-on + cammed, and he ran a very high 13 .

[camarokev]

yeah... the track definitely sucked... best time I got was a 16.2... ???? ****... my car can't be that slow... still though, decent I guess for a first time ever at a drag strip... drag racing is a lot of fun... definitely see why it can be so addictive!

And nice to finally meet a lot of you guys! lookin forward to seein ya in the future. Lata.

[1984camaroz28]

sucky night for me i broke my tranny on the first run.....my scynros are shot and i cant get it into gear at a high rpm........ track prep sucked i could only cut 1.770 60 times

[project89]

heh we broke the trans in the rs tonight,one pass 19.14@65 off it before the 1/8th

[1984camaroz28]

lol mine very first pass in the 408 was 14.88 @ 113 with a 3.3 60 foot time not only did i bog the car i missed 2nd gear so i dident get going till about 300 feet

[project89]

well i knew the trans was on the way out,but the drive home really sucked lost 4th gear and 3rd gear started to slip pretty bad,wouldnt have been that bad except that we were 90 or so miles from home and the car has 4:56 gears
the car should have deff pulled a high 15 to low 16 sec run
yeah and the track was horrible the car usually cuts a 2.2 60' tonigh *** went 2.8 60'

[Savage_Messiah]

Still stuck in the 14.9's... can't cut better than a 2.1 60. Need new tires... and IDK why but everyone minus Barb and Brandon was running ****** tonight :shrug:

[project89]

savage did ya end up getting a better run after we left ?

[GP99GT]

damn short people cant get better than 2.1 on drag radials :lol:

2.10 on all season tires with FWD = win

[Brando56894]

u better watch out matt im creepin up on ya...

yea i got a new best tonight of 15.428 @ 88.45mph with a 2.2 60' on snow tires :D

next time at the track will hopefully be a 15.0-15.3 depending on if i have the cutout and hi flow installed by then, but i will definately have the EGR, AC, and back/passenger seats out :D

[ar0ck]

next time at teh track will hopefully be a 15.0-15.3 depending on if i have teh cutout and hi flow installed by tehn, but i will definately have teh EGR, AC, and back/passenger seats out :D

I wont be running again untill I have more of my stuff done, last night I was hopping to have two new goodies in. So I should be making another pass around the end of this month when I have EVERYTHING that I want!

[Savage_Messiah]

savage did ya end up getting a better run after we left ?

nah... still stuck in the 2.1's / 14.9's / 91.xx's

[1984camaroz28]

colder air usually = better times... of course that is to an extent but yea...

[f bizzzle]

yeah i know, but it was too cold, the track prep was terrible and col makes rubber hard and not soft so as soon as your done with the burn out and you roll on to cold rubber on the track and sit and wait to stage, your screwd. i want like 50-60 degrees, that would be perfect.
