Went to MIR yesterday
Went to MIR to see some racing but decided to race instead of just watching and I'm very pleased with my results.
1st pass
60'= 2.000
1/8= 8.375
1/4= 12.884
MPH= 110.75
2nd pass
60'= 1.722
1/8= 7.866
1/4= 12.333
MPH= 111.33
3rd pass
60'= 1.883
1/8= 7.976
1/4= 12.456
MPH= 110.86
I'm very happy with results since this is the 1st time I have raced my car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Went to MIR yesterday
what car did you have?? Z28?? I saw one on a rollback type truck coming up 301 when i was at a sheetz gasing up.
I couldnt do squat there because I think my tires were shoot to hell..
i only ran a 12.00 spinning <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
well its time for me to ditch the nittos and get some et streets now
congrats on your et's also

Re: Went to MIR yesterday
I have a 2000 SS with the normal boltons. I have all the boltons except a pulley and a ported throttle body. My passes were in full street trim including almost 3/4 tank of gas. I also have 3:42 gears and a SY4000. My passes were made on 17*11 ZL1 rims and 315 nittos. Thanks Jimmy

Forgot to mention its black, slp grill, tinted windows, slp ultra z hood and chrome ZL1 rims. I ran the ET class. I didnt want to run SR class because it was my first time racing and I had no idea what my car would run. Jimmy

Nice times for your first time out. Harold and I were there, next time your there give us a shout. You did the right thing not entering the Street renegade class. I quailified and lost first round due to driver error. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> There were only 3 domestic cars qualified for that class. Me and 2 Mustangs. Imports were allowed 2 power adders. Quickest car was a Civic that ran 10.4x. Like we can compete with a 2100 lb car with 20+ lbs. of boost and the juice on top, on motor alone. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Re: Went to MIR yesterday
ahhh i remember your car now. I figured you had bolt ons.. awesome times also! Did you drop any weight out of the car? The best I have been at MIR with all bolt on/stock internals was 11.98@112.6 on a 1.62 on 16inch nittos. But i had skinnies and the seats out. Weight makes a big difference! My car weighs 3540 now argh.. damn pig!!
how do you like that converter?? I love my vig3600 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

BTW: Check out www.easternfbody.com
all the locals hang out there <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Went to MIR yesterday
I love my converter <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> . I will love it even more when I learn how to pull better 60' with it. I just joined EFBA yesterday so I will be talking to you guys there also. Are you going to Cecil County this weekend? I hope I can make it. I will have my Welds on the car, less gas and hope to pull better 60' to get me into the 11's. I had so much fun at the track I can't wait to go back <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /> .

The 3 hour haul isnt worth thr 1/8th mile burnouts i can do on the bald nittos LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I gotta save up for et streets and hopefully new drag wheels for spring so i can be ready <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
