Cool Did some bracket racing Saturday

Went to Cordova yesterday for the MFBA rental, it was the first time I raced at Cordova, had a good time.

The weather was pretty good, DA was +235 when I made my first run, the highest it got was +628, there was a slight head wind. Track hooked good!

I entered the bracket race-14 car field & I won it, I got the money & a $100 gift certificate for Speed Inc.

Not so sure I should be spraying on this tune, the track was out of unleaded race gas, so it was straight 93 pump gas, so instead of lifting the heads or burning a piston, I decided not to make a full hit yesterday. The fact that I drove the car 450 miles round trip also played a small part in not spraying it.

TNT
60' 1.583 1/8-7.267 @ 93.96 1/4-11.439 @ 118.12
60' 1.552 1/8-7.252 @ 93.41 1/4-11.436 @ 118.01
60' 1.658 1/8-7.365 @ 93.84 1/4-11.535 @ 118.16 (Bad burnout)
60' 1.569 1/8-7.268 @ 93.70 1/4-11.449 @ 117.85 (Meant to spray this pass, forgot to arm the system!)
60' 1.574 1/8-7.263 @ 97.23 1/4 11.320 @ 120.74 (Nitrous right at the 1/8, too big of a fuel jet, car fell on it's face)

Bracket Race
Dial 11.41 3:06 PM
60' 1.579 1/8-7.320 @ 94.41 1/4-11.526 @ 117.00 (Lifted before the stripe)
Dial 11.47 3:19 PM
60' 1.565 1/8-7.293 @ 93.38 1/4-11.495 @ 118.12
Dial 11.47 3:32 PM
60' 1.575 1/8- 7.311 @ 92.51 1/4-11.502 @ 117.96
Dial 11.47 3:45 PM
60' 1.582 1/8-7.309 @ 93.41 1/4-11.501 @ 117.61

Last TNT run of the day was @ 3:59 PM
60' 1.550 1/8- 7.085 @ 97.95 1/4-11.089 @ 122.05 (Sprayed right before the 1/8 mile marker, it didn't feel like it picked up much at all, "off" on the window switch was set to 6100. There was no sign of detonation & no knock retard.)

Throw out my bad run & my 60' average was 1.569 for 9 passes.

10 bolt & stock 4L60 still living the dream!

Thanks for the pic Rob, I hope the Cordova site updates the pics of the event, I'll pick up an original of that.

It was nice meeting with you guys. Thanks 3D, looks like I needed the red on that run.

Throw out the one pass and your 1/8 miles times are very consistent!

Congrats on the win!
