MIR Sunday, November 9th(10's all motor) Well, today was very exciting. Budds Creek was hosting the World Cup Finals where imports squared off against the domestics. Wild street was a 40 car field and after the first round of qualifing I was sitting 3rd @ 10.70. I had some problems with my nitrous on the second pass and couldn't better my time. The ladder was setup after the two rounds of qualifying and I was #5 qualifier. A few mustangs and a supra were #1-4.
Run 1, qualifier
1.601 60'
6.934 @ 104.82 1/8
10.70 @ 127.98 1/4
Run 2, qualifer(nitrous was acting funny)
1.508 60'
6.94 @ 103.81 1/8
10.71 @ 130.77
First round of eliminations: Racing against a 3000GT VR4.
1.54 60'
7.05 @ 97.73(timing was bad)
10.89 @ 129.62
To his 10.92 @ 132.9
By the 2nd round of eliminations I noticed my bottle pressure was way to low, 700psi hot meant my bottle was near empty. I decided to run the car all motor and see how it handled the loss of nitrous.
2nd round action: Racing #2/3 qualifier silver mustang qualified @ 10.2. He lit the top bulb but failed to light the bottom bulb in a staging duel. Win light came on my side and decided to run it out.....(first all motor pass)
1.543 60'
7.06 @ 98.58 1/8
11.03 @ 122.85 1/4
3rd round action: Racing another Mustang that qualifed @ 10.3, he staged quickly and I knew I was probably not going to win but I decided to take a shot at the tree anyways.(2nd all motor pass)
1.535 60'
6.996 @ 100.81 1/8
10.93 @ 124.16
I knew the pass was a decent one and once we recieved the slip I was very very happy. I finally had my 10 sec all motor slip and my shifting issues were behind me. A couple of CF members got videos from the race so they should follow.
