Had a good time even though my car didn't want to stay together until the last pass. I finally had a halfway decent pass on the last run. It was good to meet you guys, had a blast! I'll be getting some new tires and giving it another shot next month. How did everyone fair? It looked like you lightnings were hookin up.

On a side note, I'm not a fan of the track not displaying the time or the other racers info. Whats the deal with that anyways? I'm not from around here, but all the tracks I've been to up in VA/North Carolina have the times displayed.

[chrisheltra]

I had a good time I didnt run what I normally do and wasnt as consistent as usual that was more than likely due to the heat but had fun either way. I do think that the track needs a few improvements but for a smaller local track it was pretty good.

Thanks Dave for taking on Chef duty!!!

90% of the tracks around here are gruge tracks, and 90% of the time the racers have N/T (no time) on their windshields. I'm sure the tracks feel that if 90% of their patrons have N/T on their windows, why bother with a scoreboard?

Thanks Dave for taking on Chef duty!!!

No problem, I had fun and a burnt fore head at the same time!!!:bigthumb:

[dkbmxer002]

Had a blast! Got a new best and got the suspension dialed in... Too bad for the heat!

[lilbitmuch_21]

That was my first track day and I have to admit that i enjoyed it. Thanks for setting it up and I look forward to the next one.

[05Saleen]

[98Camarod]

I wasn't aware thats what the N/T was for. Hell, they put that on my car. I could care less if everyone seen what I ran. Best run was a 7.1 @ 99mph with a shitty 1.65 60'

Nice to meet you and talk to you today. Had a blast running down the track with that S/c lightning :D

Was a blast doing that with another heavy ass truck running. Glad you took it easy on us

[98Camarod]

LOL I think Im an easy one:bigthumb:

lol, you were right next to me. I don't think I've ever seen that many lightnings, nice trucks!

[Illusions]

See it's a LIGHTNING site not a MUSTANG site...lol

[Chillerman]

We had a good time as well. Posted a new best and ran a 7.274 @94.55 with Thomas driving.

[Lurch]

I talked to several people with all types of autos and everyone had fun! Im ready for the next one TKS MITCH

[98Camarod]

I'm hoping with some good tires and some suspension work I'll be in the mid to low 6's as long as I can keep the damn intercooler pipes on. I might have to get a boost controller and turn up the boost a few pounds. My runs were off of the wastegate spring and the max I seen was 8.2 but it was hanging around the 6-7lb range the whole run. I'm guessing burst knock is taking my timing too. Out of the 14 degrees commanded I was only getting 9-12 degrees logged. The other three runs there was so much crap that had went wrong, I couldn't use the data that was logged.

I'll probably have everything to go and ready sometime next month or early June to go again.

[Illusions]

Had a great time today and can't wait for the next one. Hopefully the blazer will be tuned and not running 10:1 a/f. Once its figured out she should be able to hit low to mid 10's in the 1/8th.

:cheers

[clubracergt1]

Stop saying that kind of stuff. It just makes my car look like it's that much slower

What do you mean? I do not understand. I thought you missed 2nd and 3rd. :poke:

[jesse w]

Had fun guys,nice seeing everybody.

[98Camarod]

Anyone happen to snap any pictures of my car that I can steal?

[chrisheltra]

I know Jeff D was out there with his super camera he may have snapped a shot or two. Hopefully he will post up his pics soon they usually turn out real well.

[98Camarod]

that will work

[BigdaddyDupree]

i head clubracergt1 got owned by a lil red blazer? haha

[dkbmxer002]

anyone get better than a 1.42 60 foot?

[98Camarod]

Not me. Maybe I'll be close with some tires, suspension and leavin off the 2 step.

i was the guy in the white camaro, glad you got things kinda worked out towards the end!

I figured so, did you get yours sorted out?

[91notch]

I had a great time yesterday.

I figured so, did you get yours sorted out?
Yeah we got the suspension dialed in, now we have to work on a few a/f related things.

[98Camarod]

I heard it pop when we were leaving, was it a nitrous backfire?

What would you say made the most improvement as far as suspension upgrades?

[dkbmxer002]

Anti roll bar and the torque arm along with the qa1's... Haha but yea the battery fell off and caused things to go haywire..

[98Camarod]

isn't the anti roll bar like 400 bucks? I know the t/a is, but you can find those used for 300. That's an ass ton of money in suspension.

[dkbmxer002]

It's worth it! I have the Wolfe though

[Illusions]

I don't know if I'd call it that. Just see for yourself and I'll let you decide.

[98Camarod]

What did the blazer run? it sounded pretty stout

[chrisheltra]

Not sure but I wished Jr would have lined up against me. Might have been really close.

[LXtasy]

It is a low-mid 8 second 4400 lb suv in the 1/8th mile. For now. Until the a/f can get better than 10.1- 11.1 range. Truck just dumps the fuel. Tuner is out of the country for now. BONE stock lt1 with full exhaust. Mainly because its in a swap blazer.

If we weren't fighting a misfire I would have more than lined up against you chris. You would had to have given me the leave atleast.:bigthumb:

[BigdaddyDupree]

yup owned definately fits the bill haha what mustang? head up bottle for bottle? when i get mine running good?

[Illusions]

By then we should be full HCI and bottle. :) :cheers

[BigdaddyDupree]

it runs dang good now i got the timing set on it. it got knocked off somehow. lemme take it to the track and see how it does if it feels as good at the track as it does on the street i may let you spray and me run motor haha. just for fun. but that blazer is ridin for sure. dont make me put got on the transam

[LXtasy]

You have to give us the leave. You got a cowl hood.

[BigdaddyDupree]

aite i might can do that ill let you know. but im only letting you get that because i dont have a front license plate. when i get one. were doing it heads up

[chrisheltra]

You would had to have given me the leave atleast.:bigthumb:

I didnt realize it was that non-fast lol I gave a Z06 the leave and it bit me in the ass.

[BigdaddyDupree]

Well, I figured if the heat was going to take a toll on your blower truck. Than it would be perfect 1% chance that we might win. :bigthumb:

[clubracergt1]

Dammit, guys. Why you gotta be picking on my slow-ass turtle? With what I know about the red truck, that is EXACTLY what should have happened. Even before I learned a little more about it later in the day. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) I went 9.255 at 77.86 mph with a 2.138 60'. True, that's slow; but I had fun. That was also only about my 8th pass in the car, and the tires are different. Cut me some slack. It'll get there.

Were you on street tires? I know someone selling some 16 m&h drag radials around here.

[clubracergt1]

I would need rims, too. And. yes, I was on CHEAP street tires

[Illusions]

too bad we had misfire issues towards the end of the night. Well, they most likely were also present during the other runs too just not as noticable. One of these days we might just get some realistic times with a tuned vehicle. Can't wait to break into the 9's (1/8th mile). Remember she's and overweight soccer mom's SUV. She'll always be a snail. Only weight reduction we can do now is drill 3 inch holes down the frame...lol Oh and pull one headlight out.

[98Camarod]

I'm guessing you were out of the 9's then or someones BSing:

4400 lb stock lt1 running low-mid 8s? How much gas is on that?:poke:

[Illusions]

it was a very rich 100 shot.. a/f would not go leaner than stated

Now this was also without a tune or pulling timing. all stock

It seems to be moving good. :bigthumb:

sounded really good too. :bigthumb:

[chrisheltra]

I have to admit it did look quicker than the slips show and sounded good too.

[slowgreen99]

sounded really good too. :bigthumb:

Masterbend FTW

[Illusions]

Thanks for the comments guys. It's still a "work in progress". She has Sanderson (POS)shorty headers to a magnaflow tru-x and then into a dual 2.5 inlet outlet magnaflow muffler then exits stock location. Bob at Masterbend did the work. I have another Magnaflow for him to put on the Tow Pig when I get time to run over there.
