Default Oh so close 10.04 @ 138.58

I thought tonight would be the night,but faith overturned me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> The track had to many accidents to keep the surface at a good temp.

Changes made for this trip; swaped out the TR6 for some nitrous plugs,removed my bullet mufflers and put on some header extensions,and some other minor weight mods. Raceweight was 3390lbs

Pulled up to the track around 6:00,bunch of cars in the pits. Unloaded and checked the weather +328 DA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> Well even before my first run,somebody shut the track down for about 45 min.

Finally made my first pass at 7:41,and of course the track wasn't all that:

60' 1.461 (major spin)
330' 4.215
1/8 6.512
MPH 106.87
1000' 8.470
1/4 10.104
MPH 138.16


Pulled back into the lanes,checked my bottle pressure and prepared to run again-NOT,Race car dumped its trans fluid on the track,another 30min delay.

Well finally making my second pass at 8:49,figure doing a BIG OLE burnout would help,but still spun-rear of the car shifted over about 2 feet and hazed the tires for 8 feet guessing. +122 DA

60' 1.395
330' 4.161
1/8 6.453
MPH 107.16
1000' 8.408
1/4 10.041
MPH 138.58 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

10.04 pass VIDEO

Give a few to download,nice purge <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

My final pass after 1 race car lost its axle and a drag bike blew its motor,2 HOURS later. Getting tired and stiff now, so I proceeded to miss 4th bad <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> . Oh well, not tonight. +1 DA

60' 1.405
330' 4.144
1/8 6.530
MPH 94.66
1000' 8.955
1/4 10.880
MPH 120.11

Time to change the signature! Great run despite the issues at the track.

Has anyone noticed that Allan hasn't courtesy staged in any of the videos yet! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I normally do, but she rolled in kinda quick. During racing events on a pro-tree I make sure to courtesy stage.


Thanks everybody. Maybe the weather will hold out for some weekend daylight racing.

So close dude. I'm glad to see you've gone this far on the 150 shot. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I just watched the video and man is that thing moving!

Getting close Allan! Just .05 to go. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I might roll out to NPR this weekend as well, weather permitting. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Great run! I especially liked the way your car squatted on the 1-2 shift. That's a bad ****. 9's are in the bag.
