New Corvette IRS Supercharger & 60' Record
Went to Maryland International Raceway this weekend to race in the Import vs. Domestic Wild Street Event.
The 16 car field had a cut of 9.35? & no.1 qualifer when 8.37 (A friggen Honda)
Here's the run down of my weekend
Qualified no. 2 with a 8.641@ 152.06
NO.1 Qualifer was a Honda 8.37@178? (which is who I ran in the finals)
Before I go any farther I KNOW MY LIGHTS SUCKEDand cost me the big time
RD 1 of Eliminations 8.779@ 143.73 (lifted)
RD 2 of Eliminations (I had a bye run)
RD 3 of Eliminations (Semi finals) 8.619@ 154.28 - 1.258 60'
RD 4 FINALS 8.46@ 155.44- 1.220 60'- 132.05 1/8 mph
Just a hand written slip from the tower, they wouldn't give me the (WIN) slip. :bs
Re- run of the Finals 8.501@155.15 - 1.207 60'
Yes I said re-run of the Final
My opponent pre-stages, I pre-stage, then I stage, my opponent stages, the lights drop and I go, 8.46 later I get the win light.
(The rest is hear say)
At the booth I was told there will be a re-run because the starter raised his hand up at my opponent (between fully staged & the lights dropping on a .400 tree) because he heard or though ? my opponent had a leak. Was that my problem?
Not sure if he broke the beams, I think he did. I do know I rushed him staging right away (my plan) and he didn't built his boost up 100%
Anyway after a short cool down (and protest), we race again and I lose by .006
As I said, the tree cost me :ack:
It was a good weekend all n' all, I broke the Corvette IRS Supercharger record & Corvette IRS 60' record.
ECS rocks :partyon:

That was a heads up class, if it could of ran 7's, he would have... with .006 as the margin of victory, I'm not hearing otherwise.

I got a 15 min. cool down & we raced again, which I lost. I posted a thread on Yellow Bullet asking if that was fair.

Turns out MIR omitted in that thread there WAS a water leak from the Honda but they're saying it wasn't big enough for a DQ. (but it was big enough to stop the race?)
Bottom line IMO the first run was a race, the Honda should have been DQ'ed.
Wish I had thought to insist for the Honda make a full pass before the re-run, because he broke at the end of the re-run.
The Vid of the first Race? The Honda crew did a great job on the re-run vid, but I doubt we'll ever see the vid of the leak.
