Eastern Members - Zturd GOES 10.81@130.08mph!!! FINALLY!

Well making what could be a really long story short. I made the last minute choice to get a ticket to race at Cecil on sunday at the Superstallions of the net track rental. Well the temps were very cold in the lower 40's. I changed the plugs for good measure, changed the clutch fluid, took the passenger seat out this time. I made the 1.5 hour drive there. Pulled in and immediately went through tech in the lanes. Some friends came over and were saying is this it etc. I said should I just go ahead and make a shake down pass since i haven't had it at the track for almost 2 months. They said yeah go ahead and make one and then let it cool down. I pull up and do a healthy burnout with the tire pressure at 14psi. This was the result....

1st pass:
60ft-1.604
330ft-4.571
1/8th-7.031
1/8mph-99.17
1000ft-9.158
1/4mi-10.912
1/4mph-129.50

I proceded to get my slip cause i thought it felt like a not so great launch and was expecting a 11.1x at 127mph. Well to my surprise i got that slip. I looked at it like in amazement. I look at the right lane and that was a 12sec run. I look up at my windshield for my # to match the one on the slip. (all while sitting at the timeslip tower). I undo the harness, undo the swingout bar, jump out of the car and look at my car# and back at the slip. Guy behind me gives the 2 hands up like uhhh WTF? I start yelling and jump in the car and head to the pitts. Seen a bunch of people coming over to say congrats and say was that me LOL! After a couple flying leaping hugs in to strong male arms I was absolutely stoked. So I let the car cool for a bit and went to go back.
I got behind a street tire car and in front of him was a big street tire truck. I was like oh no please oh please dont drive through the water... YUP you guessed it they both drove through the water. I was rewarded with the following pass:

60ft-1.723
330ft-4.680
1/8th-7.132
1/8mph-99.46
1000ft-9.251
1/4mi-11.002
1/4mph-129.64

Spun really hard but kept into it cause the nose stayed up. I was absolutely astounded with the MPH. I took out the passenger seat, installed meizere electric waterpump, had more gas then I would have liked about 3/8th tank. Drove to and from the track on the same tank 130miles lol. I did add 8oz torco to the tank when it would have been around 6-7gallons of gas in the tank to help mix it in by the time i got there.

So pissed at coming back the horrible 11.0's I came right back around and got in line. Shut the car off due to nothing but radial cars in the lane. I waited till i seen some bigger slick tire cars come around. Went in behind one of them. This was the pass I received and was my final pass cause I just didnt want to push my luck after this one. Though it shows the car would've ran a 10.7's easily IMO.

3rd pass:
60ft-1.551-spinning
330ft-4.512 light spin on 1-2shift
1/8th-6.959
1/8mph-99.30-WTF I've trapped 100mph before and couldnt do it today!
1000ft-9.073
1/4mi-10.819
1/4mph-130.08
picking up nearly 31mph in the last part of the quarter is insane IMO. Not sure how it did that. Last time the car was dynoed was at 444rwhp/385rwtq. It may have picked up a little with the elec waterpump and torco.
Well thats it, sorry its so long but I've been running 11.0x's for over a year now!

about damn time!

Congrats Bruce!!!

Although it is about time! I will get down to the track one of these days.... maybe i can match your 10.8xxxx

Rick

Congrats, (recieptant of one of those male huggs.) No more gay momments!!!!

Congrats! and good seeing you again.

April is the next Track Rental. :D

Nice! :drive: :cool:

Congrats on your run.:thumb:

You picked up 31 mph in the second 1/8? I think that defies the laws of physics...LOL.

After a couple flying leaping hugs in to strong male arms I was absolutely stoked.



You are such a homo. anyways congrats. I am so pissed I didn't get to run my car. nothing like paying $50 to spectate.

Thanks guys, good seeing you again aswell relr3rd.

Forgot to mention why I didnt run anymore. On the last 2 pass's actually, i was hitting the rev limiter at the trap. On the 3rd pass it threw a check engine light. Rev limiter is at 7K rpms. Not good for a stock LS1 bottom end with 101k miles on it IMO. I figured if I did the things I was thinking of doing, removing the serpentine belt for a pass and running panny hose as a filter for a pass the car would obviously get faster but more time on the rev limiter. I didnt want to risk hurting the car/engine and not being able to drive it back home. Plus a Ford Lightning threw its engine guts out at the end of the left lane my favorite lane of the day as I was thinking of running again. The track was already slippery IMO.

Congrats man! Long time coming.

Congrats, (recieptant of one of those male huggs.) No more gay momments!!!!

Didnt really get a chance to get a good pass.... we all got kicked out after one run :(

I think we are goin to atco on sat or renting atco in the next week or so.

Good job Bruce! Been a long road..but seems to be worth it.

Give me a call at your earliest... Got a job that is right up your alley!

Dennis

Leaf blew across the beams:P

VIDEO!!!!!!!!

What no video of the 10.80 pass!?!?!?!?

SHUT UP I COULDN"T FIND ANYONE CAUSE I WAS STILL PISSED AT THE 11.00 run so I came right back around and ran again and didnt say to video in time. Oh well atleast i got that on there. Would've been nice to see the 1.55 60ft 10.81 at 130mph pass though!

Yeah. I am so pissed I didn't get to run. I just wonder how fast mine would have went.

I dont know I think he sprayed it!!!! JUST KIDDING! congrats its about time

Well just bringing them all outta the woodwork now aren't we!!! Mr.JRCAMAROZ28 himself!!! Long time no hear!

I'm glad you made it into the 10's. I bet it was the best feeling seeing a timeslip that didn't have an 11sec pass on it!! Hopefully next season I'll be able to do the same. 11's are no fun anymore!!! I think I'm gonna get rid of the 4.56's,, I have a feeling a gear change could help along with some skinnies. My 1st gear is just too damn short,, I have know clue what I was thinking when I ordered the rear with 4.56's.

z28misfit I would recommend a set of 4.10s for your car. Just my opinion! Get that thing to the track and beat the fock out of it!

Yeah that's what I'm planning on getting for it. Plus it will be alittle nicer if someone wants to do a highway pull. I stand no chance what so ever with the 4.56's.

I dont know I think he sprayed it!!!! JUST KIDDING! congrats its about time

Nah leaf blew across the beams. Or they just put a 10 up there since they felt sorry for him

I dont know I think he sprayed it!!!! JUST KIDDING! congrats its about time

he did stop over at the shop prior to race, i did notice him sneakin around the pump station with a little two pound bottle. :ripped:

damn nice video, wished it would have been a side shot though for the launch. My car is alive, cracked a rim and it still needs work but hopefully over summer I can get a rear and suspension and go for 11's cam and exhaust only!!

holy shit finally!! must be those new tires and some good cold air... thats trap speed is insane!!!

Nice job, man.

Nice job :drive::thumb:
