Tracks tonight...

Ed,

Grats on the 13.6 and all the props you were getting from the tower.

Richard.

P.S. GO TO SLEEP.

yo,

thanks again! here's the numbers for my new personal best:

reaction---.599
60ft--------1.915
1/8et------8.737
1/8mph---79.21
1/4et------13.682
1/4mph---98.43

the funny thing was that i wasn't going to run but nobody was at the track. like maybe 10 cars. i did 5 passes in less than 30 minutes and that's letting the car cool off a couple times. i wish it was like that all the time.

i ran against a bsm camaro who ran a 12.1 @115.9 mph! he ran a 12.06 a little later. those bsm boys are fast!

richard, this would have been a good night to test that stage 4. hope you get that turbo fixed soon. can't wait to see what kawson and mitch run.

grats Ed.

You know, sometimes I wonder if that whole 'cooling down the IC' is all that important. You know I'm just a regular old dummy, but when I am able to cycle through pretty quickly and do one run after another, my times get quicker.

13.6. Way to go.

Pat

WERE WE AT THE SAME TRACK?!?

I didn't see any of you guys there.
I ran against a minivan and a nissan. Spanked them both. Nothin' boosts the ego more than beating a minivan..... *SIGH*

15.2 @ 88.7MPH with a 2.0 60ft. I was suffering from wheel spin too.

Previous best of 15.5 @ 85MPH with 2.0 60ft (no wheel spin)

3 1/10 of a sec gain with cams.

Grats Dom,

So were there any tale-tell signs residual from your tensioner mishap? I know I'm a dunce, but from what little I know, 15.2 on a bent cam is pretty amazing.

aaaaaaahh yes, the bent cam... well, it makes some noise.... I'm sure that the cam bearings will go, or maybe the tensioner will break again.

Sometimes the cam makes the engine surge at idle. I don't know if I'm losing any power, but I probably am. I can feel the cam wobbling in my feet. SO that CAN'T be good. Screw it, drive it like it's stolen until it breaks.

I don't plan on doing a whole lot of drag racing because my car's drivetrain makes all kinds of noise. It pops and thunks like crazy off the line and changing gears.

I got a new tranny mount coming, maybe that'll quiet it down some.
