went to Norwalk on friday night, but silly things kept me from a 10 second slip, not to be distraught, Jim and Steve joined me to the jaunt to the track this morning! Thanks a bunch for the help guys!!!! you guys rocked, with their help i got the suspension dialed in alot better, after watching the video i see room for more improvement by the way Norwalk is now my Graceland!!! incredible track, prep and staff!!!!

well went to Toronto Motorsports park today, St.thomas had issues with their boards, so we drove the extra hour there.

first run let off sideways in second!!!

then the sun did it's job, because the track didn't, plus i gave the bmr stuff a good workout! they prepped the start line pretty good but that was it! past the 60' mark it was crap plus the ricers didn't help out!

here we go..
1.60 60'
7.19 1/8th mile, 99.19 mph
11.17 @ 122.96

1.56 60'
7.20 1/8th, 98.57 mph
11.20 @ 123.70

1.57 60'
7.14 1/8th, 99.13 mph
11.1 @ 125.15 this was a new mph best for me!!!!

1.52 60'
7.10 1/8th. 98.61 mph
11.07 @ 123.79

here it is
1.44 60' spinning in second gear!!!!
6.96 1/8th, 99.63 mph
10.91 @ 125.30 mph!!!

1.56 60'
7.16 1/8th, 99.23 mph
11.11 @ 124.61

one more time for good measure...
1.53 60' again skating in second
7.0 1/8th, 100.26 mph
10.97 @ 125.41 mph! sweet

second gear was a hoot all day long, spinning through it, doh! serious cross winds i had to steer away from either the center line or from the wall to the left of me!!!

i learned a bit more about the suspension, and also alot about how the motor likes to be spun up! next time out i will start with the 6900 pill and go up to 7200ish. through the day i upped the pills a few hundred rpm. i can't wait to go back to Norwalk on motor! 6200 rpm dumps!!! woo hooo

well Jason, I don't think I can run you down you are just too fast , i forsee runs in the high 60's but i don't think this nitrous cammed motor will get me there i just 2nd gear wasn't such a wild ride!!!!


next weekend on spray is going to be a trip!!!!

Nice, times. How big of a shot are you running, and most importantly,what did you do to tune the suspension?

taner

mainly finding out how much air i needed in the rear airbags, which is very very little, lol! and i took a couple of clicks out of the rear hals. i can probably take one more click out of the shocks for good measure.

Awsome, thanks. What were you running the rears at? Fronts? I'm assuming you have the 12 ways?

well being a stick car i tighten it up a fair bit, it was at about 6 up front and a little higher in the rear.

sorry that was ALL MOTOR but when i do spray it is a few hundred worth

Taner, good times and very impressive 60'. Were these on the "W" tires?

I can't wait to see what this setup does on the gas.

Congrats! That thing might be be a hand full when you hit it with spray

hell yeah, i am a firm believer that these tires make the difference at a track that doesn't have the prep it should! and if it does then the car hooks even harder! that is from only 4 years of use but i love them! i am no pro by any means, but i do know they work.

hopefully all goes well next weekend! i am actually a bit antsy about next weekend. it should be a trip!

DMcRacer,

a handful is right! i hope there aren't the cross winds i was dealing with yesterday, or i will lift! then try it again it was a handful the first 1/8 mile or so.

Joe,

so correct i kicked the monkey off my back, lol!!!

That's bad as hell bro. I'm not a fan of nitrous as being a means of power, but if your car moves out like yours on motor, the gas is bad ***. Congrats.

Congrats Taner !! With the temps starting to warm up some the tracks will get better !

taner

iTrader: (6)

you are so right! as soon as the weather gets a wee bit warmer we should be set to go! need some heat in the track as well as some actual prep!

thanks again, definitely going to be a fun year!

Taner..

how big of a shot did it take you to run the 9 sec pass?

My N/a times are just about the same as yours, but thinking of spraying this motor
