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 05-20-2009 08:34 AM

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 05-20-2009 10:42 AM

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.

One run? Did you show up late or something?

LTb1ow 05-20-2009 10:49 AM

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.

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

LTb1ow 05-20-2009 10:55 AM

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

69BirdX 05-20-2009 11:13 AM

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 05-20-2009 11:16 AM

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 05-20-2009 11:21 AM

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 05-20-2009 12:08 PM

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 05-20-2009 02:57 PM

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

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 05-20-2009 03:13 PM

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

KirkEvil 05-20-2009 03:40 PM

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

LTb1ow 05-20-2009 03:43 PM

^ Wanna adjust some rockers tonight?

baddest434 05-20-2009 03:54 PM

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 05-20-2009 03:56 PM

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 05-20-2009 03:58 PM

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

LTb1ow 05-20-2009 03:59 PM

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

LTb1ow 05-20-2009 04:02 PM

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 05-20-2009 04:05 PM
