Default 1st pass before the track got shutdown due to snow :(

well im not too mad about the run because i can see how fast the car is because from the 330 to the 660 ft it hauled *** and mph'd decent....

the car came of the line and almost died and then from there i had to let out around the 100ft mark because my gears are too large (4.10)

60 ft- 4.638
330ft- 7.852
1/8- 10.215
1/8th mph 105.23
1000ft 12.239
1/4 14.114
MPH 111.83

and then i got back in line about 15-20 minutes later and the snow started coming down hard and i didnt get but one pass for about a 3hr trip

i took the car to the circle track and brough the rpms up higher and it didnt try to die... so im not exactically sure what happend on the 60ft :shrug:

my dad said that as soon as the car came back alive he could hear it ripping the tires all the way down the track even in high gear...

Thats why I didnt go yesterday, 3.5hrs and a 20% chance of rain/snow

Sucks when they decide to open early this year and all last month was too cold and they werent open one day..

At least you got one run in, 105 isnt bad considering the car shut off for 3 seconds it appears.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, make sure the batt is strapped down good.

better to get snow at the track than to have sunshine while the car is on jackstands in the garage

cable, couldn't of said it better. While driving around in south florida, i get passed alot by cars i know would want to have some fun. However, my camaro is about 1700 miles away....

anyways, numbers are fine considering the issue... i have a similar problem where the thread on my red top spun and it was impossible for it to tighten and stay that way

i checked my dads time slip from sunday and his runs 6.14 in the 1/8th and from the 330 to the 1/8th (660) it makes it in 2.20-2.19 seconds..

mine made it in 2.36 seconds... im pretty stoked... it should be a fast car when it gets a clean run with 3.55 gears
