Tracks tonite...
Was pretty good. Nice and cold out, was just me, russ, mario, and a bunch of guys with STI's that I don't know. S2K Joey and San came down later. I ran twice...13.8 first time around. My second run though I lined up with the "Viper Guy" he was out with his race Viper tonight in all of it's supercharged/caged goodness.....cracked out a 11.464 @125 ! to my 13.7@97 NUTS !!! He trapped though the 1/8 (99.98mph) faster than I did the 1/4

My fastest time was 14.1 @ 93<< why is my trap speed is so low for my setup?? i have godspeed uppipe and dowpipe, hks hi power catback at blitz sbc-id set @ 15. should i be clocking lower than 14s and traping higher than 93??

San,
Welcome to yet another facet of your car. Probably something you wouldn't want to go apesh*t like a few of us have, but it can be pretty exciting.

... another thing to think about for you EBC guys, .... it's not like throwing on a manual boost controller, setting it, and forgetting it.
You have to tune the controller (or "set it up"), and it will 'hurt' your acceleration if it's not set up properly.

Thanks for making this thread, Steve.
I've officially hung up the spurs on my horse and have sworn off racin' my car down the 1/4. I'm an old enough veteran to know that if you race your car on a regular basis it's not IF something will break, but WHEN - and I'm too poor to fix the car if ANYTHING breaks.
Since my drag racing days are over - I am going to live vicariously through your posts/exploits.
I'm also going to be the biggest ankle-biter when Pat's car gets done with the 6-speed and some nitrous! :banana:
I can't wait to see Chibby's car live up to it's potential (if it don't run 11's I'll be stunned/disappointed) and there are LOTS of stage 4 cars on this island that really should be running 12's really soon (no reason why they're not now).
Subies, REPRESENT!
