Me ftl.

[LTb1ow]

Apparently, I suck at drag racing. :nod:

Got my very first run in tonight at Atco, and managed to run oh so slow.

14.452 at 105, yesssssssssss oh and an awesome 2.5 60'. :rofl:

I enjoyed it though and am looking forward to actually running a time respectable for my car.

[NJ Torque]

owned.

is that WITH a tire, too?

[NastyEllEssWon]

good job. glad to see you made it out to the track. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

[LTb1ow]

Yup, no burnout, on wet MTs. Hit the limiter through first and second.

[NastyEllEssWon]

why did you go through the waterbox with mt's?

[LTb1ow]

Have to at Atco, and I was a newb and got all rushed into staging, IDK, I was trying to do what the guy next to me was doing, cept he was an AWD suby. Sooooo fml.

[NastyEllEssWon]

you should be able to drive around the water box? hell at least to back your back tires in. wet front tires never helped anyone.



but damn man. 14's????

[LTb1ow]

Pretty much.

It felt kinda dead up top, and I had a feeling it needs a fuel pump, so that may help if it is running lean up top. And or also, I kinda didn't know where the track ended, so again, newbie is I.

[Jersyboyy]

i ran 13.6 trapping 101 with 6 good cyls in a "turd gen" stock auto trans stock stall open rear with 3.08 gears bald street tires lmao

60' could def go down a bunch, thatll knock time off your et, plus u trapped 105 thats a mid to low 13 second car if you practice more

So are you the new buster or is it still jam?

[NastyEllEssWon]

ricers make excuses...just suck it up. you ran mid 14's. boo. driver mod ftw....maybe you should let alex get a crack at that :lol:

[LTb1ow]

Yup, I am embarrassed, but it was a cool thrill.

[NJ Torque]

i go thru the water on my et streets... yet i have skinnys tho

[LTb1ow]

ricers make excuses...just suck it up. you ran mid 14's. boo. driver mod ftw....maybe you should let alex get a crack at that :lol:

No one is making excuses... I posted a horrible time, if I had excuses I wouldn't have posted the time. I just enjoyed myself and figured someone may get a laugh at my times.

[NastyEllEssWon]

i hope you dont mind but quoted for sig :twisted:


im just hassling you. its all in good fun

[LTb1ow]

Eh no prob, I need more seat time.

[Jersyboyy]

Yea I got a laugh its cool tho it was your first time out at the track esp with MTs.
At least you had fun man thats all that matters!
Time for some NAWWWS

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. i still dont understand how the hell you managed that. how freaking bad did you spin off the line?

[LTb1ow]

Like I said, banged the limiter in 1st and 2nd. Lots of spin, prob a better burnout than the puny one I attempted pre stage wise.

[NastyEllEssWon]

so when do you get your 14 second club title? :wink:

[Masonite]

don't feel bad. my very first run was much worse than yours, if you can imagine. 16.2s @ 86mph :-P. that's in my current vehicle--305, 5-speed, 3.73 posi, street tires (mildly spun). i definitely need to practice, but i had a lot of fun, and that's worth something.

[deadtrend1]

you should be able to drive around the water box? hell at least to back your back tires in. wet front tires never helped anyone.

no, you cant drive around it at Atco. Thats why you continue spinning as far as you can go.

[NJ346]

looks like I shoulda took the truck out. All i would of had to do was tree you and I would have taken the win lol. Looks like you should have a 13.0 car if you can get that 60' down to a 1.8. Should be a good run with you on a 100-125 shot vs me on motor.

[Mike]

probably faster than that, like he said he spun through second, so it probably spun to at least 150 feet..........the calculation for the 60' gets it to a low low 13, but i would guess you can add a couple more tenths for the distance past the 60' he spun.......i would venture to say a solid run would net him a 12.7 or 12.8

[sweetbmxrider]

yeah there are some issues with the car like hitting the limiter, losing it on the top end, oh and doin a burn out :lol: next time matt is gunna spray too :rofl:

[Mike]

why did you go through the waterbox with mt's?

i always go through with my et streets

[WildBillyT]

Yeah, like they said some more experience and you will slash those times. What psi were your rear tires at?

Edit- Wait... was that your best run??

[camaro2you]

I have m/t's on my 98....next time you run put it down to 12.5 psi and smoke the crap outta them if there new or sat all winter. Ive been cutting 1.6x 60's.

[LTb1ow]

Bill, it was my one and only run, so yea, I suppose thats the best one. :(

Ah well, live and learn. Got a few things I need to check out on the car, and then back to the drags.

[WildBillyT]

One run? Did you show up late or something?

[LTb1ow]

Got there at 6, was in the lanes till 10 before they let us run. Then some import oiled down the ENTIRE track and it was like 11 before I got my atrocious run in.

[WildBillyT]

Wow. Not the norm I'm sure, but that really sucks.

[LTb1ow]

Yea thats what people were saying, sucks but oh well. I need more seat time, and figure out why its dead up top.

[69BirdX]

should of done a burnout. I sarted out runnin 14s on my car so dont feel bad for yourself. Ofcourse that was on street tires but it takes practice. Worst i spun on slicks i ran a 13.32 93 mph. Im suprised you spun that bad. It was bad night there. I got out of line and just left

[LTb1ow]

I was very confused, trying to do what the guy next to me was doing, and he didnt do a burnout. Then I got waved forward and lights started going.

[69BirdX]

They wave when your allowed to start your burnout. There is a light at the end of the track that comes on when your done. First time there mistakes should be expected. Cant wait to see the next couple runs

[KirkEvil]

There was a lot of tire spin. I think you were doing like 20 mph at 100 ft into it haha. It was late and the track was really cold by the time everyone got to run.

Next time drop the pressure in the tires and smoke em. At just remember, you weren't the worst lt1 to run last night...haha

[LTb1ow]

Yea, well, I wanna pull the valvecovers off and check the rockers out sometime this weekend too.

[Featherburner]

I was very confused, trying to do what the guy next to me was doing, and he didnt do a burnout. Then I got waved forward and lights started going.Hey, don't beat yourself up. Just because you didn't listen to a thing I told you or do anything I told you and you sucked ass... you can only get better. :lol:
On another note, new personal best for the G8. 13.311 @ 105 :nod:

[LTb1ow]

Yea thanks John, I was trying to do what you had said, but I dunno, things went fast when I got close up.

[KirkEvil]

Very nice g8 and pcv. Congrats on the new PB.

[LTb1ow]

^ Wanna adjust some rockers tonight?

[baddest434]

all you need is more trips to the track matt, you will get the hang of it:wink:
as long as you enjoyed yourself thats all that matters!!!!
everybody sucks their first time running at the track unless your a natural like some of us:lol:

[LTb1ow]

Nice sig Bill... lol

I will give myself a few more trips to the track and if it doesn't start running 12s, its getting taken apart. Ahaha

[KirkEvil]

rockers? why not...but I doubt you will find a reason for 14's under the covers:lol:

[LTb1ow]

Eh, noticed a slight tick under the driver side, 6300 is not exactly recommended for SA rockers...

[baddest434]

Nice sig Bill... lol



i thought you would get a chuckle out of it :lol:

[LTb1ow]

I am ok with my time I suppose, should have started racing the car when it was stock... prob woulda been an easier learning curve.

[baddest434]

oh i forgot to ask you what was your 1/8 time and mph. just wonder if i could beat you in that race we talked about , you 1/8 me 1/4. :mrgreen:

[LTb1ow]

9.6 @ 81.85mph


I is awesome.

[sweetbmxrider]

:laugh: ahhha sigs hahaha

[LTb1ow]

So, Etown next Friday? Ehhhh?

[baddest434]

9.6 @ 81.85mph


I is awesome.

yep i'd would have won :lol:
you'll get better bro

[LTb1ow]

I sure hope so, I sure did suck.

[baddest434]

So, Etown next Friday? Ehhhh?

i be to loud for e-town on a friday night. sucks cause i'd like to go on fridays.
weds nights i can do e-town. decibal rules suck!!!!

[Tru2Chevy]

Congrats?







:j/k: You'll definitely knock quite a bit off of that number just getting in a proper burnout and better launch. Should definitely a high 12 second car based on that run.

- Justin

[LTb1ow]

Damnit!

Really? 14 sec club...??


fml.

[Tru2Chevy]

Damnit!

Really? 14 sec club...??

Yup....pretty exclusive place for a 4th gen. Lots of stock / near stock 3rd gens in that club :p

L98 POWA! Maybe LB9...

[LTb1ow]

I will get the time down, I am determined now.

[Pampered-Z]

Just go to the track and have fun until you get it all figured out, don't put pressure on your self to run a number, that will come as you gain experience. Honestly, it is going to take a few trips to the track until you start figuring it all out.

The launch is the key and the tuffest part. You need to learn/practice to leave with minimal spin, leave easy and roll into it. Focus on that and hitting your shifts and you will see a big drop in your ETs. Once you get consistent then you want to start hitting the tree, take everything in small steps.

FYI: The basic rule is everything you cut off the 60' doubles at the top end. So if you can get your 60' near the 2.0 mark you should run in the 13.5 range.

[LTb1ow]

A 13.5 would be nice, if the car was stock...

But yea, I hear you, I def need more seat time and trying to get off the line quicker.

[69BirdX]

But yea, I hear you, I def need more seat time and trying to get off the line quicker.

With your stall you should be ably to pull a 1.8 with out a prob just get the tires heated up and see how the car likes to launch. I ran a few 13 passes on slicks but after i got a feel at launching i was in the 12s. Advide dont worry about the car next to you or what your reaction time is. If your just going for a PB then reaction time doesnt matter. My 12.3 run i think my reaction time was .9 something ha ha really sad but i was more focused on launchin my car.

[Mike]

But yea, I hear you, I def need more seat time and trying to get off the line quicker.

he is just doing the math off the 60 foot, since you spun way past that, you would knock off quite a bit more by hooking

[LTb1ow]

Yea, its weird though, I hook better on the street with the same "prep" I did at the track. I dunno.

[sweetbmxrider]

you went through a water box, derr

[baddest434]

:shrug: maybe the boat wanted to stay in the water box, felt more at home :lol:

[LTb1ow]

:shrug: maybe the boat wanted to stay in the water box, felt more at home :lol:

Ohhhh THATS it... thanks Bill! You solved it! :rofl:

[sweetbmxrider]

did you remember to hoist anchor?

[JerzLT1]

whats done to the car again? i have LE2 heads and a LE1.5 cam and ran 12.65 @ 115 with a bad slipping clutch and a 2.3 60' (on ****** 17" street tires).... something doesn't sound right

[sweetbmxrider]

considering the mail order tune (facepalm) doesn't turn the cooling fans on (facepalm), one could only imagine the tune is **** (double facepalm).

don't you have alotta weight reduction done as well?

[WildBillyT]

Multiple facepalms become a facefist.

my hats off to you sir for that comment :nod:

[JerzLT1]

None actually that was the old car. My car has a mail order tune as well

[LTb1ow]

whats done to the car again? i have LE2 heads and a LE1.5 cam and ran 12.65 @ 115 with a bad slipping clutch and a 2.3 60' (on ****** 17" street tires).... something doesn't sound right

Yea, same here, cept I went with big cam. Tune = bad news me thinks.

[Jam]

i ran 13.6 trapping 101 with 6 good cyls in a "turd gen" stock auto trans stock stall open rear with 3.08 gears bald street tires lmao

60' could def go down a bunch, thatll knock time off your et, plus u trapped 105 thats a mid to low 13 second car if you practice more

So are you the new buster or is it still jam?
3 WORDS.

SWEET ENGINE BAY!

[JerzLT1]

I want to get mine tuned as well, gonna try to get some dyno time with brian from pcmforless

[LTb1ow]

3 WORDS.

SWEET ENGINE BAY!

Shut the **** up and get out of my thread.


86, if you ever get a date setup for that, send me a PM.

[JerzLT1]

Will do, should be next monthish

[Formulalt1]

Yea, same here, cept I went with big cam. Tune = bad news me thinks.
If you banged the limiter in two gears you should have actually trapped faster than you did and with LE2 heads and a cam somewhere around a CC306 I am assuming. I would say with a decent tune (not even dead on) you should be deep into the 12's. Something like 12.6 with a pretty good hook,

[KirkEvil]

The pcmforless guy is deep in PA right?

[Formulalt1]

Bryan normally comes out to central NJ if you get enough cars together to make it worth his while but yeah he is a good 4 -5 hours in depending on how fast you drive.

[Jam]

isn't ur car automatic?

[Formulalt1]

You can still bang the limiter in a auto if thats your point. I have done it, if you get too much wheel spin the tranny doesn't engage the next gear quick enough and it hits the limiter and then shifts.

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Wow, how did you manage such a bad 60 w/ an auto car...Practice makes perfect.

[JerzLT1]

Wow, how did you manage such a bad 60 w/ an auto car...Practice makes perfect.

if you read earlier posts he drove through the water and didnt do a burn out (first time at the track)

i have to get with Josh about my clutch and tune in the same time frame but last time i caught him while he was down there tuning another car :) next time you go to the track let me know and ill try to make it down there

[LTb1ow]

Will do, hopefully going to datalog the car and send it to my tuner for him to tweak the tune some.

If all goes well I would love to get back to the track this coming week.

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Think I ran a 14.8 my first time ever @ Etown in my 97 z28 w/ a cai and 273's many moons ago...think I still managed a 2.2....Traps seems to be way low also, I pulled close to that in my bolt on 97 w/ shorties...better luck next time.

[LTb1ow]

Well when I moved the 6AL the other day I found out I had a 6k chip in it, so fail again me.

[B4C]

I ran a 18.6 on my first run at atco :rofl: spun em halfway down the track:rofl: ran a 15 flat next run:|

[Jam]

i'm hitting the track in like first or second week of june if ur down tag along and give it another try.

[Mike]

i'm hitting the track in like first or second week of june if ur down tag along and give it another try.

sure you want to invite him? wouldn't want to be seen with a lt1 around faster than you

[LTb1ow]

sure you want to invite him? wouldn't want to be seen with a lt1 around faster than you

Yes. :lol:

[JerzLT1]

speaking of going to the track with LT1s that are faster then LS1s, when are we racing Mike? i just need a clutch and a new set of tires

[Mike]

speaking of going to the track with LT1s that are faster then LS1s, when are we racing Mike? i just need a clutch and a new set of tires

and i just need an alignment and a tune :)

[JerzLT1]

did you atleast get a real drive shaft this time?

[Mike]

did you atleast get a real drive shaft this time?

hahaha, i have a 3.5'' pst aluminum, lifetime warrenty up to 1k wheel hp :-P


the car is also a little lighter so it might not hurt the drivetrain as badly

http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j142/cbrrmike/

[JerzLT1]

new K member? nice, i still have 300+ lbs of stuff to take out of mine :) and thats all free stuff lol

[Mike]

new K member? nice, i still have 300+ lbs of stuff to take out of mine :) and thats all free stuff lol

all the free stuff is gone too :), but ill have 4 seats and a carpet at all times lol

[LTb1ow]

Yea, I may be heading down the same path you did Mike... Not sure if I can swing it money wise but losing weight never hurt. Just makes it that much awesomer when I run more 14s. ;)

[JerzLT1]

4 seats? why? you only need back seats if you plan on driving passengers... if im not mistaken thats why you have the TBSS lol. ill eventually go the K member route but i have a factory TQ arm right now so thats next.

[LTb1ow]

Yup, same here. New TA and some decent springs/struts/shocks whatever is in the back... lol
